What is the difference between manual-automatic transmission and continuously variable transmission?
1 Answers
The differences between manual-automatic transmission and continuously variable transmission are as follows in 6 aspects: 1. Different fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of continuously variable transmission is lower than that of manual-automatic transmission. 2. Different acceleration continuity: The acceleration continuity of continuously variable transmission is better, while that of manual-automatic transmission is slightly worse. 3. Different comfort levels: Due to faster acceleration of continuously variable transmission compared to manual-automatic transmission, the smoothness of the vehicle during acceleration and deceleration differs. Continuously variable transmission hardly feels gear shifts, providing better comfort, whereas manual-automatic transmission offers poorer comfort. 4. Different maintenance costs and difficulty: If improperly operated, continuously variable transmission has a higher probability of problems, often making it impossible to repair and requiring complete replacement, resulting in higher maintenance costs and difficulty. On the other hand, manual-automatic transmission has lower maintenance costs and is easier to repair. 5. Different driving pleasure: Continuously variable transmission does not require manual gear shifting, so drivers cannot feel the joy of controlling the car. Manual-automatic transmission allows drivers to experience the pleasure of driving through manual gear shifting, thus offering more driving pleasure than continuously variable transmission. 6. Different performance advantages: Overall, continuously variable transmission has slightly inferior performance advantages compared to manual-automatic transmission due to its less mature technology, technical shortcomings, and disadvantages such as easily damaged transmission belts.
