First of all, Sail is a small family car developed by SAIC-GM specifically for the Chinese market. The better one currently on sale is Sail 3, which has more space than the previous new Sail, improved power, and tougher exterior light. As a small car priced between RMB 50,000 and RMB 60,000, it has good value for money, especially since it inherits the safety of American cars and has a curb weight of 1.05 tons.
The EMT gearbox is actually General Motors' addition of several of its own patented technologies to the AMT automatic transmission module produced by Magneti Marelli. One of them is to simulate the crawling function of the automatic transmission. When the forward gear is engaged, as long as the brake is released, it will crawl slowly. Looking at it this way, EMT is actually a functionally upgraded AMT transmission.
The most basic markings on the new Sail's EMT gearbox are N for neutral, R for reverse gear, and there is no D gear mark, replaced by A. Then A/M is automatic and manual conversion, which can be switched between A and M. A represents automatic mode and M represents manual mode. When the gear lever is in the leftmost square slot, it is automatic mode. When it is in the middle When it is in the gear slot that can move forward and backward, it is in manual mode. Pushing up "+" represents upshifting in manual mode, and pulling down "-" represents downshifting in manual mode. The S button at the top on the left is actually the sport mode button, which changes the characteristics of the gearbox when pressed.
