Automatic transmission (automatic gearbox)
* Advantages:
*Smoother gear shifting
* Better acceleration dynamics
* More predictable operation
* Durability (with timely maintenance)
* Flaws:
*Higher fuel consumption
* More complex design
*Higher maintenance and repair costs
CVT
* Advantages:
* More economical fuel consumption
*Smoother and continuously variable gear shifting
* Compact size and lighter weight
* Lower maintenance costs
* Flaws:
* Less dynamic acceleration
* Less durability compared to automatic transmission
* Less predictable work
* More sensitive to high temperatures and extreme operating conditions
Which option is better for Mitsubishi Outlander:
The choice between automatic transmission and CVT depends on individual preferences and driving style.
* For those who value a smooth ride, acceleration dynamics and reliability: automatic transmission
* For those looking for efficiency and smooth gear shifting: CVT
However, it should be noted that the Outlander with the CVT is better suited for moderate city driving, while the Outlander with the automatic transmission is better off-road and towing.
In general, an automatic transmission is considered a more versatile and reliable option, while a CVT offers a more economical and smooth ride.
