Does the 8th-generation Civic use an AT transmission?
1 Answers
8th-generation Civic models, except for the 1.3L hybrid variant which employs a CVT transmission, are equipped with a 5-speed AT automatic transmission for other automatic versions. Definition of CVT transmission: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The key difference between CVT and stepped transmissions lies in its gear ratios being a continuous range of values rather than discrete steps, thereby delivering superior fuel efficiency, power performance, driving smoothness, while reducing emissions and costs. Definition of AT automatic transmission: Hydraulic automatic transmissions achieve gear shifting through hydrodynamic drive and planetary gear sets, typically consisting of components such as torque converters, planetary gear mechanisms, shift actuators, shift control systems, and shift operating mechanisms.
