What brand of transmission is used in the Hyundai Elantra?
1 Answers
The Elantra is equipped with a CVT transmission called Intelligent-Variable-Transmission-IVT, which is independently developed by Hyundai. In terms of quality and durability, it is not inferior to Aisin transmissions. More information about the CVT transmission is as follows: 1. The powertrain of the Elantra 1.5L+CVT has improved in fuel consumption and smoothness compared to the previous generation's 6-speed automatic transmission. Unlike Japanese CVTs, the Korean CVT uses a chain-type structure, stacking numerous chain links together. 2. The advantages of the CVT transmission are its large transmission torque, less prone to slipping, and higher transmission efficiency. However, the downside is that the engine noise can be relatively louder.
