What is the lifespan of Chery's CVT transmission?
1 Answers
Under normal usage and proper maintenance, Chery's CVT transmission can last up to 300,000 kilometers. The CVT transmission allows continuous variation of speed ratios from low to high RPM, which is the key difference from gear-driven automatic transmissions. When the CVT ratio is locked at a fixed value, it can simulate a manual gear position. CVT transmissions typically simulate 6-8 manual gears. Below are factors affecting CVT transmission lifespan: 1. Using D gear for uphill/downhill driving. Continuous ratio changes by CVT pulleys generate significant heat. 2. Sudden braking causes impact on the steel belt. 3. Transmission overheating.
