What kind of transmission does the Buick Excelle use?
1 Answers
Buick Excelle uses a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission and a 5-speed manual transmission. The new CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission innovatively adopts a design that combines belt drive with a 2-speed auxiliary box, making it more compact and providing a wider gear ratio range, further improving transmission efficiency. While ensuring a smooth driving experience, it achieves better fuel economy compared to similar CVT transmissions. The CVT transmission belongs to a type of automatic transmission. Common automatic transmissions can be divided into four categories: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), dual-clutch automatic transmission, electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission (AMT), and mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The CVT transmission does not have real gears, so there is no jerking or impact when shifting, and the entire shifting process is very linear; its disadvantage is that it cannot withstand too much torque.
