How is the quality of Kia's CVT transmission?
1 Answers
Kia's CVT transmission quality is introduced as follows: 1. Good fuel economy: The CVT can achieve continuously variable transmission over a wide range, obtaining the best match between the transmission system and engine conditions. By relying on the transmission's continuously variable speed adjustment to adapt to various vehicle speeds, the engine can operate under optimal conditions for extended periods, thereby improving combustion efficiency and fuel economy. 2. Strong power performance: The CVT can achieve closed-loop control with the engine, fully utilizing the engine's maximum torque. Its torque-increasing performance is significantly better than MT and AT transmissions. Therefore, when installed in SUV models that require emphasis on torque, the acceleration performance (0-100km/h) of CVT-equipped vehicles is 7.5%-11.5% better than AT vehicles, and high-speed acceleration performance is superior to MT vehicles. The characteristics of CVT make its power performance significantly better than manual transmissions (MT) and automatic transmissions (AT). 3. Excellent comfort: The CVT can improve driving comfort. Without fixed gears, the CVT provides continuous and linear shifting without the jolt of gear changes. There is no downshift hesitation during rapid acceleration as with AT transmissions. The CVT system has a wide transmission ratio range, generally between 2.400-0.395, allowing the engine to run at low RPM with minimal noise during high-speed driving, providing drivers and passengers with a quiet and relaxed travel experience.
