Five manual SUVs are recommended, with a power belt "T", large space, and a price as low as 68,800 yuan

Playing a silky and smooth "Wing Chun shift" is the pursuit of many manual parties, but with the advancement of the automobile industry, manual transmission is becoming more and more marginal. So that many young people have not touched the manual transmission after leaving the driving school, and naturally do not understand the fun when talking about related models.

So, at this point in time in 2023, what manual transmission models are worth recommending? Today, the Travel Bureau has selected five manual SUVs in this huge automobile market, all of which have "T" power, large enough space, and more importantly, the price is relatively affordable, starting at 68,800 yuan.

Model 1: Wuling Xingchen

Guide price: 68,800-77,800 yuan (manual transmission model, the same below)

Wuling Xingchen with a silver mark, in my opinion, is another "cheap and big bowl" model after Wuling Hongguang S3, although the length of the car is only 4594mm, but the wheelbase reaches 2750mm, and the rear legroom is relatively spacious. In addition to the seating space, the trunk space of the Star is also very large, and the maximum depth of the rear seat backrest is 1840mm, plus the inner height of 760mm and the inner width of 1030, the load capacity is not bad.

Aside from space, another advantage of Wuling Xingchen is its power, its 1.5T turbocharged engine, is SAIC-GM-Wuling's high general-purpose engine, quality is guaranteed, 147 horsepower/250 Nm power parameters can also meet most car scenarios. However, it should be noted that the entry-level model does not have ESP and uphill assist, so if you really want to buy a manual Star, it is recommended to buy a second low-end configuration, the price is a thousand more expensive but there are more functions such as uphill assist, ESP and brake assist.

Model two: Haval M6

Guidance price: 71,900-79,900 yuan

Haval M6 is a model built with the old H6 chassis, and the overall driving texture is quite good. The manual transmission model currently has three configurations, including the elite intelligent connection type, the luxury intelligent connection type and the Liu Yan joint version. The three models have no difference in basic safety equipment, both are two airbags + ESP + ABS + EBA, and provide automatic parking and hill assist.

It is worth mentioning that even the entry-level elite intelligent connected model is equipped with a 10.25-inch central control screen with a car networking system, and there is no problem with daily use. In addition, features such as automatic air conditioning, electric adjustment of exterior mirrors, LED headlights, and reversing images are also quite practical.

The length, width and height of the Haval M6 are 4664/1830/1729mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm. The trunk is also relatively spacious, that is, the rear seat backrest has a drop from the floor after being put down, and it cannot be flat; The 1.5T engine equipped with the Haval M6 is also the engine once equipped with the old H6, although the maximum power is only 150 horsepower, but the quality is stable and reliable.

Model 3: Vision X6

Guidance price: 7.59-79,900 yuan

Envision is Geely's sub-brand, focusing on a civilian price, and Envision X6 is a relatively affordable compact SUV, there are currently two manual transmission models in the Envision X6 series, namely luxury and premium. The main difference is that the Premium model has an additional connected car system and an electric sunroof. If you consider it from the perspective of cost performance, manual luxury purchase value is higher.

To get back to the point, don't look at the length of the Vision X6 is only 4518mm, but the axle spacing of 2661mm also gives it a fairly spacious seating space, and the 175cm tall experiencer will not be crowded in the car. However, because of the size, the trunk of the Vision X6 is not as good as the Haval M6 and Wuling Xingchen, but it can also meet the needs of daily travel.

As for power, the Envision X6 uses Geely's older 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of only 141 horsepower and a maximum torque of 235 Nm. Although the data is not great, the turbo intervention is faster, and the maximum torque can burst at 1600rpm, and the start is not delayed.

Model 4: Changan Auchan X7 PLUS

Guidance price: 93,900-96,900 yuan

Auchan is a commercial vehicle brand in Changan, but I did not expect to have a lot of attention in the field of passenger cars, such as its X5, X7/X7 PLUS have achieved good results. There are only two manual models in the X7 PLUS series, one is the 5-seater version of Jiayue and the other is the 7-seater version of Jiayue.

In terms of size, the X7 PLUS has a length, width and height of 4730/1870/1720mm, and a wheelbase of 2786mm, which is also the upper middle level in the entire compact SUV industry. Therefore, there is no need to talk about its internal space, but it should be noted that the third row of space of the seven-seat version can only be used for emergency use, because the author of the previous 175cm sitting in it really has the feeling of sitting on a small bench; X7 PLUS, a 1.5T turbocharged engine, has a maximum power of 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260 Nm.

The configuration of the Auchan X7 PLUS is decent, with 4 airbags + ESP+ABS and other active safety equipment as standard, and it gives reversing image, cruise control and full LED automatic headlights, as well as a panoramic sunroof, and the seat material is also leather. In terms of configuration, it can meet the basic needs of buyers at this price point.

Model five: Jetta VS7

Guide price: 105,900 yuan

Although the Jetta was separated from Volkswagen, it still uses the Volkswagen car platform and the "three big parts", compared to the VS5 we recommend that you consider the VS7 because of the larger size and larger space. At present, there is a manual transmission model in the VS7 series, that is, the 2023 280T SI manual aggressive version.

The selling point of this car is its EA211 1.4T turbocharged engine and spacious space, which is also a magic machine, with more than one million units installed in the Chinese market alone. Don't look at its maximum horsepower of only 150 horses, the maximum torque is only 250 Nm, but the actual ability shown is not inferior to many domestic high-power 1.5T models. In addition, Volkswagen's manual transmission also has a strong sense of inhalation, one-in-three, three-in-five are smoother, and it is easier to operate.

This car is also a rare front MacPherson + rear multi-link four-wheel monosuspension structure at the same price. At the same time, the car also gives a leather steering wheel + an 8-inch center control screen that supports CarPlay, as well as a panoramic sunroof. However, this is all the "advanced" configuration that the VS7 can come up with, after all, this car mainly sells "hardware".

Written at the end:

If from the point of view of playfulness or practicality, manual transmission is still more interesting and durable than automatic transmission. Among the five models we recommend today, there are both domestic brands and joint venture brands, and the price span is relatively large, I believe there is always a model that can impress you.
