We understand that all the new automotive technology coming out can be confusing, so here at Mazda of Claremont want to help clear things up. We want you to have all the facts so you can make the most informed decision possible. We all know what an automatic and manual transmission is, but what is a CVT transmission?
CVT stands for continuously variable transmission. If you’re wondering how it differs from an automatic or manual transmission in your Claremont vehicles, it means it’s completely shiftless. With automatic and manual, you have a set number of gears you can shift between, but the CVT does all the shifting for you. This mechanism is designed to make shifting smoother than ever and increase your fuel economy.
While CVT is intended to be simple and efficient, especially when it comes to repairs, there’s a reason Mazda does not implement CVT in their vehicles and that’s due to CVT response and driving dynamics. CVTs are dulled in terms of acceleration response. But if you’re at our Mazda of Claremont dealership looking to purchase a responsive new car, we have some alternative options for you to explore in Rancho Cucamonga.
In the SKYACTIV-DRIVE and SKYACTIV-MT, Mazda has melded its signature transmission design with all of the advantages of CVT and none of the drawbacks. That way you still get to enjoy that kick of acceleration while still getting good fuel economy on your Mazda of Claremont vehicle.
With these options, you’ve given a smooth and easy start-up as well as efficiency in terms of speed. No matter what, we’re sure you’ll find the vehicle that is right for you with no trade-off in performance on those Rancho Cucamonga and Upland cruises.
We believe that experiencing it for yourself is always the best policy, so once you search through our inventory and find one you like, give us a call or join us at our Claremont dealership so you can schedule a test drive! Our teams are ready to help you calculate finance payments or apply for financing for this new purchase. Join the Mazda family today!
