The MPV market looks beautiful, but competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the low and mid-range MPVs under 100,000 yuan used to be the domain of manuals. Even the godsend Baojun 730 didn't have an automatic gearbox.
This year the situation has improved considerably, with the Dfsk Qichen M50V and Lifan Xuanlang both priced at under 100,000, but both with automatic gearboxes. The Dfsk Glory 370 will have a new CVT transmission model, which is expected to be launched in the second half of the year.
The best-selling model is the Glory 330, the Glory 360, and the Glory 370, which ranks in the top ten of the MPV best-seller list every month. The next best seller is the 370, which also sells well. The price of the 370 is higher than that of the 330, which is positioned one notch higher than the 330.
The Glory 370 is currently available in as many as 15 models, all 2016 models, making it difficult to choose.
The #Glory 370 engine difference
All 15 models are equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission but come with several different engine models. There is a 1.3T engine, a 1.5L engine, and a diesel version.
#Glory 370 engine seats
The interior seats are available in 5 and 7 seater versions. The 7-seater version has a 2+3+2 combination of seats, with the second row of seats moving and then into the third row.
The second row of seats can be moved and then into the third row, which WE can use for family use, but the second row can be pushed forward and folded down when it comes to hauling, which significantly increases the load capacity.

#Glory 370 price
The current Glory 370 (parameters|pictures) is available for sale at a manufacturer's guide price ranging from RMB 49,900 to RMB 69,900. Let's take a look at the pricing strategy of the Dfsk Qichen M50V.
The manual model of the M50V is priced in the range of 65,800 to 73,800 yuan, while the two CVT versions of the M50V are priced at 79,900 and 84,900 yuan.
The Lifan Xuanlang's manual gearbox is priced in the range of RMB 69,800 to RMB 86,800, while the CVT and automatic gearboxes are priced in RMB 8.68 to 106,800.
As you can see from these two models, the CVT or automatic is generally about 15,000 to 20,000, more expensive than the manual. Here, then, Fatty predicts that the official guide price for the CVT version of the Dfsk Glory 370 could be between 70,000 and 80,000 yuan.
#Why choose the glory 370 CVT
As one of the three major components of a car, the transmission is also a configuration that car enthusiasts are very concerned about. Nowadays, there are generally five types of transmission, manual, automatic, continuously variable, manual, and dual-clutch transmission.
The manual gearbox saves money, saves fuel, accelerates aggressively, and has a sense of control. Still, it is more complicated to operate, constantly shifting gears in congested roads in the city, starting is very crashing, and power is quickly interrupted when shifting.
The automatic is very easy to operate and loses less power, but loses fun and is more fuel-efficient. However, automatic technology is mature, and the trend is already well underway. Continuously variable transmissions are smaller, simpler to operate, have no shift stutter, and are fuel-efficient, but they lose a lot of power and have poor acceleration. The manual transmission is an automatic transmission with the addition of a manually forced electromagnetic device.
The advantage is that you get a certain amount of driving pleasure in addition to having the benefits of an automatic, but the manual mode is still not the same as a proper manual.
The average consumer buying a manual will rarely have the manual mode on. The dual-clutch transmission is a car with two transmissions in one, trying to solve power interruptions when shifting manual gears and the problem of sluggish power response when shifting automatic gears. However, dual-clutch transmissions are generally not very good to drive; stuttering is more prominent, most manufacturers generally use dual-clutch transmissions.
