Subaru CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission)

Subaru's Lineartronic CVT uses two hydraulically operated, adjustable  pulleys with a chain link that runs between and connects them. By adjusting the pulleys you can maximize performance and fuel economy without traditional gears!

Subaru's Lineartronic CVT allows the all-wheel-drive not to compromise on fuel efficiency with the transmission being able to bypass selecting from fixed gear ratios and instead is able to select any ratio between its highest and lowest available ratios at any time. With a perfect balance of torque and engine revolutions, the transmission is able to provide high-mileage performance and great performance in acceleration when needed.  Take a look at the video below to learn more about how CVT works!

Versatility of Subaru's CVT Transmission

The manual mode simulates a six-speed manual transmission by using six pre-selected steps allowing the driver to shift manually using paddle controls on the steering wheel. Along with vehicle performance, Subaru's Lineartronic CVT also enhances the overall comfort and pleasure of the vehicle occupants as it is smoother & quieter with all the benefits of an automatic and the fun factor with driving manual.  See how Subaru's new CVT Transmission drives by test driving one today.  Stop in at Subaru of Cherry Hill for closer look at Subaru's Lineartronic CVT Transmission.


BENEFITS OF CVT
The Subaru Lineartronic CVT has several benefits:

Smooth Operation: Continuous, step-less variation of the width of the drive and driven pulleys takes place without mechanical gear changes. Other than the response of the powertrain relative to driver input, there is no sense of upshifting or downshifting. The end result is smooth operation, which contributes to passenger comfort.

Fuel Efficiency: The control modules for the engine and transmission keep the engine in its optimal power range, changing CVT pulley ratios to achieve improved fuel economy and performance.

Improved Response: By eliminating gear changes, the step-less CVT enables the powertrain to be more responsive to changes in throttle application and vehicle speed. For example, there is no gear hunting when driving uphill. This is particularly evident on cruise control.

Maintenance Free: The Subaru CVT is a sealed unit and requires no regularly scheduled maintenance - kind of like a maintenance-free battery.

Fun to Drive: By simulating the operation of a manual transmission, the Lineartronic CVT's manual mode increases driver involvement and makes the vehicle more fun to drive.

Interior Comfort: By incorporating chain drive in the CVT's design, Subaru was able to engineer a more compact unit. That enabled increased space for the passenger cabin, with more leg room, in particular.

Altogether, the Subaru Lineartronic CVT adds to the premium driving experience by allowing you to save money and still have FUN!
