GENERAL INFORMATION

The CVT is basically the same as for the predecessor. However, note that a new gear ratio control is adopted in order to reduce slip unique to the CVT.

NEW ACCELERATION CONTROL

A new acceleration control has been employed, in which the engine speed and vehicle speed respond linearly to an accelerator pedal operation to reduce the CVT-specific slippage feel.
Moreover, both comfortable acceleration and power output performance have been achieved at the same time by increasing the acceleration G with increase of the engine speed.
