What are the pros and cons of the CVT transmission in the Teana 2.0t?

[Cooper]

The advantage of the CVT transmission in the Teana 2.0t is a good driving experience, while the disadvantage is insufficient power. Advantages of the CVT transmission: Spacious interior, comparable to other joint-venture sedans in the same price range, providing a good experience. Disadvantages of the CVT transmission: Insufficient power. This is a situation where both pros and cons coexist. Another manifestation of smoothness is sluggish acceleration. During normal driving starts, the engine speed is around 1800 RPM, which is somewhat high. However, the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine only has 135 horsepower and a peak torque of 159 Nm. Presumably, the high RPM is intended to achieve a less frustrating start, but the effect is not great. Within the first 3 seconds of pressing the accelerator, there's a feeling that the car isn't moving. Only after 3 seconds can you feel the vehicle starting to accelerate, and a glance at the speedometer shows only 20 km/h—it's indeed slow! By the 5th second, when entering the mid-range acceleration phase, you can finally feel a clear sense of acceleration. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 12 seconds, but in reality, it might be even slower.
