Why can 70,000 buy a joint venture car and a knight with 6AT, but can't buy a domestic car with 6AT?

Why can 70,000 buy a joint venture car and a knight with 6AT, but can't buy a domestic car with 6AT? This is actually caused by historical reasons, because most of the patents of 6AT gearbox are in the hands of several gearbox giants, the most typical of which are Aisin and ZF, and even the public have to find Aisin to purchase 6AT gearbox. It's not that Volkswagen can't build it, but that it's too hard to build it around those rules and regulations, and the effect is not necessarily good, so Volkswagen chooses to build a dual-clutch gearbox. Similarly, Honda and Nissan decided to engage in CVT gearboxes.

Compared with Volkswagen, the R&D investment of domestic cars is less than that of Nissan, and even fewer people develop 6AT. For example, Great Wall and Geely choose to engage in dual clutch, and Chery chooses to engage in CVT.

As for why Cavalier should be equipped with 6AT, because mainstream compact cars are basically equipped with 6AT or CVT of the same level.

4AT dual clutch gearbox, outrageous. The Cavaliers are backed by a universal, ready-made 6AT gearbox, which is used directly. As for why it sells for 70,000, it's not because of conscience, but because it can't be sold without reducing the price. The price of Cavalier started at 90,000 yuan, but it fell to this price because it could not compete with Volkswagen and Japanese cars. After all, Chinese people don't like three-cylinder machines more than double clutches.

Because the monopoly of 6AT transmission is too serious, all car companies have adopted their own ways to avoid it. Volkswagen uses powershift, Nissan and Honda successively develop CVT transmission, domestic car Great Wall, Changan develops powershift, Geely improves by acquiring transmission company, and Chery develops CVT transmission.

Cavaliers have their own AT transmissions.

The American Chevy Knight 6AT transmission mentioned in the title is behind American GM, which also has its own 6AT transmission, but the stability and durability of the universal 6AT transmission need to be further improved. According to the feedback from netizens, Universal 6AT still has many small defects. Therefore, the Cavaliers match the 6AT transmission, which is relatively cheap and naturally understandable.

Knights have high profit margins and low prices.

But the reason why the Cavaliers can sell for 70,000 is completely forced by the situation. The guide price of this car in Knight is 90,000 yuan. While China cars are fighting for price/performance ratio, the price of Japanese and Korean cars has dropped inappropriately. In order to increase sales, American cars naturally need to be sold at a reduced price. It is understandable that the Cavaliers can sell for 70,000 yuan, but the latest Cavaliers match the 1.0T three-cylinder engine. This extremely small displacement three-cylinder turbocharged engine is cheap, so it can be said that Cavalier has enough room for price reduction.

Domestic cars actually want to match 6AT transmissions, but domestic cars don't have their own 6AT transmissions, so they can only buy other brands of transmissions to configure them. However, in order to develop in China, foreign brand cars are restricted to sell 6AT transmissions to domestic brand cars in China, and domestic cars can only independently develop DCT or CVT transmissions. So it's normal that we can't see 6AT on our domestic cars.
