What is the lifespan of the Chery Arrizo 5 CVT transmission?
2 Answers
Chery Arrizo 5 CVT transmission has a lifespan of approximately 400,000 kilometers. The CVT transmission is a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. Its working principle is: in the CVT transmission system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley consists of two conical discs forming a V-shaped structure. The engine shaft is connected to the small pulley, which drives the large pulley through the steel belt. The Chery Arrizo 5 is a compact car. Taking the 2021 Arrizo 5 Luxury model as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. The body dimensions are: length 4572 mm, width 1825 mm, height 1482 mm, wheelbase 2670 mm, and fuel tank capacity 48 liters.
I think the lifespan of the Chery Arrizo 5's CVT transmission is generally around 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers, depending on how you drive and maintain it. I've been driving this car for over four years and have covered nearly 100,000 kilometers without any transmission issues, mainly because I drive gently, avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking, and change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers. The CVT transmission relies on a chain drive, and excessive wear can lead to faster failure. It's best to avoid prolonged high-speed uphill climbs or overloading. Chery cars are affordable, but their CVT components are outsourced. While the quality is stable, it's important not to push them too hard. Regularly check the color and smell of the transmission fluid—if it turns black or becomes cloudy, get it repaired immediately. Extending the lifespan can save you a significant amount of money on replacement costs.
