What transmission does the Civic use?
1 Answers
The Civic uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). A CVT is a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. Its working principle is as follows: in a CVT transmission system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley consists of a V-shaped structure formed by two conical discs. The engine shaft connects to the smaller pulley, which drives the larger pulley via the steel belt. The Civic is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with the following dimensions: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive (FWD), with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
