Understanding CVT transmission: Smooth driving or slippery slope?
Let’s kick off with a quick translation: CVT stands for continuously variable transmission. Unlike traditional automatics with fixed gear ratios, CVTs use a pulley system to provide an infinite number of gear ratios. No gear-hopping or jerky shifting, just smooth and steady movement. This makes for a refined drive, especially in urban settings where traffic is as common as loadshedding.
