Why doesn't Volkswagen use CVT?

[ParkerAnn]

Volkswagen doesn't use CVT because: Volkswagen models have their own DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, and many models under the Volkswagen brand use small-displacement turbocharged engines. These engines are more suitable for pairing with dual-clutch transmissions. Generally, only some Japanese cars use CVT transmissions. CVT transmissions focus on smoothness and fuel efficiency, while German cars pursue power and handling. DSG is a direct-shift gearbox that can shift manually or automatically, easier to control than traditional automatic transmissions, capable of transmitting more power, and faster than manual transmissions. CVT, also known as continuously variable transmission, differs from stepped transmissions in that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, achieving good economy, power, and driving smoothness, while reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
