Is the Roewe i5 CVT transmission equipped with a steel belt or a chain?
1 Answers
The Roewe i5 CVT transmission uses a steel belt. There are two types of power transmission methods for CVT: one is a steel belt, and the other is a chain. Generally speaking, steel belts are usually suitable for engines with low torque, while chains are typically used for high-torque engines. From a practical performance perspective, chains are undoubtedly more robust and durable. Below is some relevant information about CVT: 1. Introduction: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. 2. Difference from stepped transmissions: The difference between CVT and stepped transmissions is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, which achieves good fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving, while also reducing emissions and costs.
