CVT vs AT: Which Transmission is Better?

Automatic transmissions (AT) and continuously variable transmissions (CVT) are both popular transmission technologies today, but they have their own advantages and disadvantages. So which is the best choice for your vehicle? Join Gartz to learn more about the differences between AT and CVT, and discover the Gartz transmission fluid products suitable for each type of transmission.

AT – Automatic transmission with gears:

Advantages of AT gearbox:

- High reliability:AT gearboxes have been on the market for a long time, so reliability and repairability are also easier.
- Sdurable: AT has high load capacity, can even work under heavy load without problems.
- Fast shifting feature: Modern technology helps gears operate smoothly, shift quickly and cause little interruption.

Disadvantages of AT gearbox:

- Higher fuel consumption: Due to the fixed gear ratio, the AT gearbox cannot be optimized like the CVT, resulting in more fuel consumption.
- High maintenance costs: Changing gearbox oil and other complex parts often makes AT gearbox maintenance costs high.

Gartz AT Gear Oil:

- ATF G6, ATF G4, 9G-HP, 6HP, 7G Tronicare Gartz's high quality automatic transmission oil products, which help enhance the performance and extend the life of AT gearboxes.

CVT gearbox – Continuously variable, fuel efficient:

Advantages of CVT gearbox:

- Optimum fuel economy: CVT gearbox has no fixed gears, helping to optimize transmission ratios and save fuel effectively.

- Smooth acceleration:Without sudden changes in rpm, CVT makes acceleration smoother and more comfortable.

- Low emissions:Because the car uses less fuel, the amount of emissions released into the environment is also significantly reduced.

Disadvantages of CVT gearbox:

- Long term reliability not proven: Although CVTs have become more popular, their durability and repairability are still a big question in the automotive industry.

- Different driving feeling: Some drivers are not used to the driving feel of a CVT because there is no distinct change between gears.

- Not an option for all vehicles: Heavy trucks, pickup trucks, sports cars or luxury cars often do not use CVT gearboxes due to their characteristics and high traction requirements.

- Belt wear easily: CVT belts can wear out quickly after a period of use, affecting the transmission system.
