What transmission does the Lingdong use?
1 Answers
Lingdong is equipped with a CVT transmission called Intelligent-Variable-Transmission (IVT), which is independently developed by Hyundai. In terms of quality and durability, it is not inferior to Aisin transmissions. Here are the relevant details: Advantages of CVT transmission: The powertrain of Lingdong 1.5L+CVT shows improvements in fuel consumption and smoothness compared to the previous generation's 6-speed automatic transmission. Unlike Japanese CVTs, the Korean CVT adopts a chain-type structure where numerous chain links are stacked together. This design provides higher torque transmission, reduces the likelihood of slippage, and improves transmission efficiency. However, the downside is that engine noise tends to be louder. CVT transmission with manual driving mode: It can be driven like a manual-automatic transmission by maintaining a specific gear for a more engaging driving experience. With deeper throttle input, the transmission automatically switches to AT driving mode, ensuring good power output while maintaining the smoothness characteristic of CVTs. Additionally, there have been no reported quality complaints on relevant platforms so far, and the manufacturer offers a comprehensive warranty policy.
