In fact, the cvt gearbox using steel belts has much higher transmission efficiency than the gearbox using a torque converter. The reasons for the poor performance of the cvt gearbox are that it is too smooth and the senses are not sensitive, and the second is that it cannot withstand too high torque and cannot be used in relatively powerful vehicles.
In theory, if the cvt does not slip, it is the best engine performance, because the engine speed can be maintained at the maximum power speed in the extreme acceleration, and there is no power loss at the moment of shifting.
