On the question of the car paddle shift of the CVT engine

In order to cope with the congested road conditions in the city, the transmission of the car has developed an automatic transmission. In order to take care of the driver's need for some driving pleasure, some models add a manual shift mode on the basis of the automatic transmission, the driver only needs to push the gear lever into M or S mode (different depending on the model), and push forward or backward during driving to carry out the gear lifting.

However, holding the steering wheel with one hand can be very dangerous in some cases, and the right hand going back and forth between the steering wheel and the gear knob is also very cumbersome. In this way, paddle shifters or buttons, which originated in Formula 1 cars, were also officially introduced into civilian vehicles. Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi's classic rally vehicle, is now in its tenth generation.

The Lancer EX, the civilian version of the former, was imported into China after last year's Guangzhou Motor Show and is known as the "Shark" due to its aggressive front face and large air intakes. Although it is a civilian version, ** is also almost halved, but in addition to the loss of power and the absence of the S-AWC and SST, the same chassis structure makes it almost as fun to handle as its "tank" version.

For such a sports car, the paddle shifters naturally cannot be reduced. The Lancer EX also comes with slender paddle shifters with left minus right plus. The CVT transmission is programmed to have six gears, and the driver can enjoy the pleasure of changing gears with a snap of his fingers when he pushes the gearbox lever into manual mode.

However, it will take time to test whether this kind of "civilian" car, which has been downgraded from the classic rally car, can be accepted by consumers at this price, and Subaru Impreza will also face this problem. However, its paddle shifters and its handling pleasure are genuine.

To put it simply, it's an analog of 6 gears, set by a computer program, and the paddle shifters just make it fun to operate and enrich the car's configuration.

1. After the vehicle starts, press the manual mode button first, and then hang the gear to D gear, after the gearbox is running, you can use the paddle shifter to upshift and downshift the operation, and then operate to the ideal gear through the paddle upshift.

2. The function of the two paddle shifters near the car Fang Naliang is the same, not one for upshifting, and one for downshifting, so that the operation is more sensitive, and both the left hand and the right hand can shift the gear in time.

When we choose a car with paddle shift function, we should according to our actual needs, if the performance of the vehicle is not high, there is no need to choose a car with paddle shift function.

The CVT gearbox was invented by the Japanese, what does it mean, that is, it means that it is continuously variable transmission, which is different from the gearbox of other cars, other gearboxes have gears, which are real, and the name of the CVT gearbox is continuously variable transmission, which can probably be imagined from the name. One of the benefits of the CVT gearbox is its smoothness, the output is linear at all times, reducing the frustration of those shifts, and also reducing the jitter, so it creates a very comfortable atmosphere. Another is that it is very fuel-efficient, so in terms of economy and comfort, CVT is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, in terms of power response, CVT is a little worse, and due to linearity, it is somewhat lacking in explosive power. But overall it's good.

Nowadays, more and more automatic transmission models are equipped with paddle shifters, such as Mercedes-Benz in German cars, Subaru in Japanese cars, and domestic cars are also basically equipped. In order to give the user a sense of control. Because automatic transmissions are not as fun as manual transmissions, the arrival of paddle shifters allows us to experience an intense drive, using paddle shifters behind the steering wheel to downshift and upshift, which is also useful for driving in ordinary situations, such as going uphill with a low gear, to increase torque.

Many people wonder if CVT models can also use paddle shifters. In fact, the answer is yes, CVT models can also use paddle shifters. For example, the Subaru in a Japanese car.

Subaru models are basically CVT gearboxes, but we can find paddle shifters on the steering wheel, why is that? Because although CVT is a continuously variable gear, the manufacturer has already set a simulated gear when designing the car, such as designing 6 analog gears, or even 8 gears. This allows the engine to follow the command and control the revs, and the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel act as a way to upshift and downshift.

So, CVT can also use paddle shifters.
