CVT (CVT)
* Smooth Shifting: CVT uses cones and belts to smoothly change gear ratios, providing virtually seamless gear shifting without jerking or jerking.
* Fuel Economy: CVT can operate at lower rpm, resulting in improved fuel efficiency compared to automatic transmissions.
* Long lasting: CVTs generally have a longer lasting life than automatic transmissions if properly maintained.
* Compact: CVTs are more compact than automatic transmissions, freeing up more space in the engine bay.
* Less torque: CVTs do not handle high torque well and can slip under load.
Automatic transmission
* Ease of use: Automatic transmissions are extremely convenient because they do not require the driver to manually change gears.
*Ease of Maintenance: Automatic transmissions generally require less maintenance than CVTs and are less expensive to repair.
* Higher Strength: Automatic transmissions can handle higher torque and handle loads better.
*Larger Ratios: Automatic transmissions typically have more fixed ratios, resulting in better responsiveness and control when driving.
* Poor fuel economy: Automatic transmissions are less fuel efficient than CVTs, especially at low speeds.
