What kind of transmission does Honda use?
2 Answers
Honda uses self-developed transmissions. Among them, Honda's Civic, Accord, and mid-to-low-end models of the Avancier are equipped with CVT transmissions, while high-end models use ZF 9AT transmissions. For example, the Honda Avancier 2.0T version is equipped with a ZF 9-speed automatic transmission. The Honda Civic offers models such as a three-door hatchback, a hardtop coupe, a hybrid version, and a five-door sedan version. Its body dimensions are 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The top speed is 208 km/h, and the drive system is front-wheel drive.
I've been driving a Honda Civic for three years, which uses a CVT transmission, known as Continuously Variable Transmission in Chinese. It drives exceptionally smoothly, with almost no jerking during starts and acceleration, making it ideal for daily commuting. Honda has made CVT standard in most models like the Accord and CR-V because it's fuel-efficient and economical, with my average fuel consumption around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. The downside is that the engine sound can be a bit monotonous during acceleration, lacking the shifting impact of traditional automatic transmissions. Remember to change the transmission fluid regularly and have it checked every 40,000 kilometers to avoid belt wear leading to malfunctions. Overall, Honda's CVT is highly reliable, simple to maintain, and even includes simulated shifting functions to enhance driving pleasure.
