What is a CVT Transmission?
A CVT transmission or Continuously Variable Transmission is a type of automatic transmission, which is different from the traditional automatic transmissions. Because of the CVTs optimized shifting process, you’ll have a smoother driving experience.
When you drive a CVT transmission vehicle, you might notice that the transition between gears is very smooth. One of the advantages of CVT transmission is that it can provide better fuel economy as well as more efficient power usage. This is for the reason that CVT transmission permits the engine of your vehicle to operate at optimum power – without the consideration of how fast the car is traveling.
This all boils down to CVT transmission being continuously variable, which means that instead of actual gear stages, the Continuously Variable Transmission allows for a continuous variation within the vehicle engine so that the drivers can’t even notice the gear transition.
