Still here to see the dry double clutch? 8AT models of independent joint ventures from 120,000!

There are some cars on the market, with high appearance, large space, complete configuration, and discounts, but a look at the powertrain: Oh open, dry dual-clutch transmission!

It's like seeing a beautiful woman in front of you, and you have to summon up the courage to talk, but the beauty turns her head but it is suffocating.

It is not that the dry double clutch is not good, after all, this is currently the transmission gearbox with the highest transmission efficiency in addition to manual, but the dry double clutch relies on air heat dissipation, which is easy to overheat when the traffic jam is low-speed creeping, plus it is easy to be frustrated when the 1-2 gear is switched, so driving the dry double-clutch model when blocking the car is simply a kind of torment.

Of course, if there is no traffic jam, commuting is mainly based on national highways, expressways and other high-speed sections, then the dry double-clutch model is very cool to drive, the gear change is fast and crisp, the transmission efficiency is high, so the fuel consumption is very low.

However, most consumers are less single in their car conditions and have low transmission efficiency, but AT transmissions with better stability are obviously more suitable for most consumers. However, the cost of the AT transmission is higher than that of the double clutch, and a big reason why Volkswagen has turned to the dual clutch is due to cost considerations, but the following models are equipped with 8AT, or even 9AT, and only sell for 120,000.

Changan CS75PLUS 2nd generation

Manufacturer guidance price: 12.49 ~ 154,900

Terminal offer: None

Wheelbase: 2710mm

Powertrain: 1.5T (188Ps) / 2.0T (233Ps) + 8 block hand self-contained

The so-called "challenger of flowing water, iron Hit Haval H6", from GAC Trumpchi GS4 to Roewe RX5, and then to Baojun 510, these sales have been incomparably close to Haval H6's independent SUVs, most of which have only a hot sales period of about a year. Only the Changan CS75 car series has experienced "three generations" of models, and can still keep up with the footsteps of Haval H6, and even surpassed the H6 twice in monthly sales.

One of the winning secrets of Changan CS75PLUS is that the entire series is equipped with an AT transmission from Aisin as standard, and even this year's updated Changan second-generation CS75PLUS will upgrade the 6AT gearbox equipped with the original 1.5T model to 8AT, becoming the standard of the whole series, and also increasing the amount without increasing the price, which is more precious in today's chip shortage and the environment where the reduction is popular.

In addition to the gearbox, the 1.5T engine was also enhanced, with maximum horsepower increased from 178 hp to 188 hp and peak torque from 265 Nm to 300 Nm. It also upgraded the 7-inch LCD meter on the original deluxe to 12.3 inches and added a 540° transparent chassis function.

The only slot point is that the second-generation CS75PLUS canceled the original elite model of 117,900, and the entry-level model became a luxury model of 124,900, slightly raising the threshold for car purchase.

In addition to upgrading the powertrain, other updates to the second-generation CS75PLUS are mostly in terms of appearance and interior.

The exterior is partly for the wise, but the second-generation CS75PLUS has optimized the design of the central control, air conditioning outlet, and steering wheel, and the interior design is a higher level than in the past.

Changan Ford Focus

Manufacturer guidance price: 13.68 ~ 150,800

Terminal discount: 30,000 to 40,000

Wheelbase: 2705mm

Powertrain: 1.5L (122Ps) + 6-speed manual / 1.5L (122Ps) + 6-speed automatic / 1.5T (174Ps) + 8-speed automatic / 1.5T (174Ps) + 8-stop hand-in-one.

The reason why Fox is not selling well is not only the three-cylinder engine that is standard in the whole series. Another reason can be seen from the total achievement of the power: even the gearbox has to be reduced, and only the top has a hand-to-hand function. Although there are very few consumers who manually downshift and overtake, the snow environment also has a snow mode automatically hanging the second gear to help start, and the lack of hand-to-hand integration has little impact on most consumers, but this matter seems that Changan Ford is not sincere.

It is precisely because Fox has no sincerity in the configuration, so it has to be sincere in the discount, at the beginning of the year, many regions Fox gave a 40,000 discount, so even if it is the top match, its landing price is less than 130,000, Fox suddenly has a cost performance.

Speaking of Fox's 8AT gearbox, this is one of the best gearboxes besides ZF in Germany and Aisin in Japan, but compared to the Sonata, which is equipped with Hyundai Group's equally acclaimed 8AT gearbox, the Price of Fox is much more affordable.

However, this gearbox is not perfect, the biggest problem is that the transmission efficiency is not high, 174 horsepower Fox, the nominal zero hundred acceleration time actually takes 9 seconds, it can run over the Corolla. However, aside from the transmission efficiency, this gearbox, whether it is used in daily use or fierce driving, the performance is very good, and the tuning of fox's chassis is also at the top level of ordinary brand compact cars, and the 130,000 foxes can be said to have almost no shortcomings.

SAIC-GM Chevrolet Marie Rybo XL

Manufacturer guidance price: 16.49 ~ 219,900

Terminal discount: 45,000 to 50,000

Wheelbase: 2829mm

Powertrain: 1.5T (169Ps) / 2.0T (237Ps) + 9 blocking hand self-contained

To say that in the past five years in the gearbox on the biggest progress in the car companies, non-general and Ford is nothing, in the past GM that setback, off-gear, cold car does not go, refueling powerless, reverse gear also failed the first generation of 6AT let many consumers panic, but when GM developed to 8AT, 9AT gearbox, we were surprised to find that GM's AT has not lost ZF at all, and even in terms of comfort.

And the most outrageous thing is that due to the decline of the Chevrolet brand in China, the Maribao XL equipped with a 9AT gearbox not only starts at 164,900, but also has more than 40,000 discounts, and the landing price of its 1.5T model is less than 140,000. 140,000 can buy 1.5T + 9AT, and see what Volkswagen 1.4T + DSG "golden power combination"!

Of course, the biggest problem with the Mribb XL is the interior. Although we always say that buying a car first looks at the "three major pieces", this does not mean that we do not look at the interior. Sitting in the car of the Maribor XL, under the huge 8-inch central control screen with black edges are undesigned buttons, making people wonder if Chevrolet's designers stayed in 2010 and could not walk out.

Finally, it should be noted that whether a car's gearbox is driven up or not is closely related to the type of gearbox, the design and manufacturing level of the supplier, and the adjustment of the manufacturer, not that the AT is necessarily not frustrated. In fact, there are not many AT transmissions that have been frustrated, in addition to the first-generation 6AT of the general company mentioned earlier, there are also the original 8AT of domestic supplier Sheng Rui, and brands such as Zotye and Lufeng have used this gearbox.

Therefore, to evaluate whether a car's gearbox is frustrated, in addition to looking at the configuration table, the most important thing is to test drive more, especially in low-speed conditions, try whether there will be a setback in the frequent switching of 1-2 gears.
