Mar 15, 2021 How Car Companies are Improving CVTs. Some automakers such as Nissan, Hyundai, Subaru, and Toyota have made significant engineering improvements to CVTs. The third-generation Nissan Xtronic system includes D-Step Logic Control that uses dynamic inputs to achieve smoother acceleration and greater efficiency while making a CVT sound and feel more like a regular automatic transmission. Find a car for sale near you. But a continuously variable transmission technically doesn’t have gears at all; rather, it’s like having one magical gear that’s variable across all driving situations. That’s why you don’t feel shifts from one gear to the next like in a normal car. Driving a car with a CVT. The controls for a CVT are the same as an automatic: Two pedals (accelerator and brake) and a P-R-N-D-L-style shift pattern.When driving a car with a CVT, you won't hear or feel the transmission shift - it simply raises and lowers the engine speed as needed, calling up higher engine speeds (or RPMs) for better acceleration and lower RPMs for better fuel economy.
The following is a list of automobiles that use continuously variable transmission (CVT) technology to transmit power from their engines to their wheels.
