What does Corolla S-CVT mean?
1 Answers
Corolla S-CVT is an improved version of the CVT transmission, inheriting the advantages of CVT while addressing its shortcomings. The following are the pros and cons of the S-CVT transmission: 1. Advantages: The transmission has no gear structure, resulting in a linear power output without any jerking during gear shifts, providing a very smooth driving experience; the gear settings are relatively free, making it easier to achieve a balance in terms of performance, speed ratio, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions. 2. Disadvantages: High maintenance costs, and improper operation can easily lead to issues; the transmission chain has limited load-bearing capacity, and the chain is prone to slipping when the vehicle is climbing steep slopes or carrying excessive loads.
