CVT transmission - advantages and disadvantages | SLAWA RENT Krakow and Wadowice

At SLAWA RENT of Krakow and Wadowice, we specialise in the rental of cars equipped with various types of transmission, including modern CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) transmissions. This type of automatic transmission has its own characteristic features, which are worth getting to know before renting a car.

Advantages of CVT

• Smooth operation - the absence of traditional gear ratios eliminates the characteristic jerks during gear changes
• Fuel savings - the system optimises the engine speed, resulting in lower fuel consumption
• Simplicity of operation - intuitive operation similar to a traditional vending machine
• Durability in daily use - less strain on the drive unit

Disadvantages of CVT transmissions

• A specific acoustic experience - during dynamic acceleration, the engine maintains a high RPM
• Limited dynamics - throttle response may be less direct than in manuals
• Higher service costs - fluid replacement and possible repairs can be costly
• Subjective feelings of drivers – niektórzy użytkownicy narzekają na „gumowatość” w odczuciach

In our fleet in Kraków and Wadowice, you will find various models of vehicles equipped with this technology. We invite you to contact us in order to select the optimum vehicle to suit your individual needs.
