Automatic transmission (automatic transmission)
* Advantages:
* Smooth gear shifting
* Driving comfort
* Convenience in urban environments
*Long service life with proper maintenance
* Flaws:
*Higher fuel consumption than CVT
*Higher maintenance cost
* Possibility of jerking when changing gears on some models
* Less vehicle dynamics
CVT (CVT)
* Advantages:
* Maximum smooth gear shifting without noticeable jerks
*Fuel saving
* Good car dynamics
* Low maintenance cost
* Flaws:
* Can simulate gear shifting (“virtual gears”), which is not always popular with drivers
* Less durable than automatic transmission, service life may be shorter
*Can be noisy at high speeds
*Not suitable for high load applications
Which type of gearbox should I choose?
The choice depends on driving style, operating conditions and personal preferences of the driver.
* If you value comfort and smoothness and are willing to put up with increased fuel consumption, then automatic transmission will be a good choice.
*If efficiency, performance and low-cost operation are your priority, then a CVT may be the best option.
However, it is worth noting that modern automatic transmissions have high fuel efficiency and smooth gear shifts, while CVTs have become more reliable and durable. Therefore, when choosing a specific transmission, it is recommended to consult with a dealer or auto mechanic, taking into account the specific model and expected operating conditions of the vehicle.
