Gearbox | Benefits | Flaws
—|—|—
Automatic transmission (automatic transmission) | – Smooth shifting – Less maintenance required – Good for high torque vehicles | – May be less efficient than a CVT – Lower fuel economy – May be expensive to repair
CVT (CVT) | – Better fuel efficiency – Smooth and continuous acceleration without noticeable shifts – Fewer mechanical parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs | – Less strong and durable than automatic transmissions – Not suitable for high-torque vehicles – May create a slippery or rubbery feel when accelerating
Selecting a gearbox type for Mitsubishi Colt
The choice of gearbox type depends on your individual preferences and vehicle operating conditions.
*If you value a smooth, comfortable ride and don’t plan to drive a car with a lot of torque, a CVT may be a good choice.
*If you are looking for a more durable and capable transmission, an automatic transmission is a better option.
Please note the following:
* The 2008-2012 Colt model was produced both with an automatic transmission and a CVT.
*Later Colt models (2013-2018) were equipped with a CVT only.
Overall, both types of transmissions are reliable and can provide a comfortable and efficient driving experience for the Mitsubishi Colt.
