Is the Civic equipped with a large or small CVT?
1 Answers
Honda Civic is equipped with a large CVT transmission. Below is relevant information about automotive CVT transmissions: Advantages: The benefits of CVT transmissions include their compact size, simple structure, easy maintenance, and smooth operation. They are primarily used in Japanese, Korean, and some domestic vehicles. CVT transmissions allow the engine to consistently operate within an optimal RPM range, making vehicles equipped with this transmission generally more fuel-efficient. Disadvantages: The drawbacks of CVT transmissions include their low torque capacity and susceptibility to slipping. As a result, CVT transmissions are typically paired only with small-displacement engines. Larger-displacement engines produce higher torque and thus require AT transmissions.
