How many simulated gears does the Honda CR-V have?

Honda CR-V simulates a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Introduction to the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is developed based on 6-speed technology, simplifying the related hydraulic system. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is generally paired with small-displacement engines. Features: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a 'switch' for power transmission between the engine and the transmission. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main function is to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce impact loads on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent overload in the drivetrain. The dual-clutch is installed in a sealed oil chamber. While the dry friction plates on the moving disc can provide the most direct transmission efficiency, they are also more prone to overheating. Therefore, their thermal meltability is inferior to that of wet clutches, resulting in a relatively lower torque capacity.
I've always been a car tech enthusiast, and recently I've been studying the transmission system of the Honda CR-V. This vehicle is equipped with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that features a simulated 7-speed function, primarily relying on electronic control systems to replicate the shifting feel of a traditional automatic transmission. When activating the sport mode, the engine and transmission work in harmony, delivering smooth and seamless gear shifts. It responds particularly well on mountain roads or during high-speed driving, offering a bit of manual control fun while maintaining the fuel efficiency advantage of a CVT. Honda has invested in intelligent algorithms here to reduce jerky shifts and enhance power output efficiency. New owners can try different modes to compare and feel the differences.
