eli5: Why does a CVT transmission still “shift” if it can be in any position and move seamlessly as they say?
In: 579
Since you’ve already noted that your Kia Sorrento does *not* have a CVT, I’ll just add that my 2015 Subaru Forester *does* have one, and it doesn’t do any weird fake shifting, unless I put it into low mode for engine braking or going up crazy steep gravel roads. It has weirded me out for driving regular automatics, though thankfully not for standard shift cars, since I spend a lot of time in places where those are the usual for rental cars.
