Personally I think it's kinda neat to see 15th Century Tech brought into the 21st. I'm guessing that it'd be like flying a plane where you have no gears, just throttle. maybe oversimplified, but it make some sense in my mind.
@SaGalv cvt is not found in race cars its found in fuel efficient cars and its reving a 6000 which is low it wont damage the engine because its electronics limits it
to lose a lot of the problems with the CVT, you can use the Autostick feature. your CVT will emulate 6 gears to make it accelerate just like a conventional transmission.
CVT's are only efficient in the sense that they have less moving parts and are made to be more liable over a conventional automatic. However, CVT has the same parasitic losses a reg autobox has. The only thing efficient about it, is the fact it can cruise at a slightly lower rpm at any given speed when your foot isn't down to the floor. The 5 speed is a much better unit in this vehicle. If you look at the EPA mileage results, the manual 4x4 gets 3-5mpg better over the CVT.
yeh, from about 30 till whenever u let off, say you wanna go up a hill faster, and u need to have it floored or almost floored. it would be redlining the whole time.
like everyone said, it's only if you have the gas pedal pushed all the way down, it'll keep the engine where it makes the most power, right below redline for most cars
i suppose so, still seems wierd though. i honestly couldnt stand a car that doesnt shift, even in automatics though i much perfer a manual i still rather have gears...
yea, i agree... it's just strange. A friend of mine just got one, i'm gunna ask him to give it some gas next time to see a CVT in person haha... i prefer shifting tho, this is just strange... like somethings wrong...
are you sure.... it has lower gearing in the North. or CVT2L so it should accel faster in my opinion. and driving them both i thought proved this. but correct me if im wrong!
I don't like CVT trannies though, they may be more efficient but there's just something fundamentally wrong for me about a car that doesn't shift. To hear the revs climb, that is part of the joy of driving. I guess it'd be alright for around town though.
The Jeep is intended for off-roading. The Jeep is heavier. The patriot it not the sportscar. Compare it to others SUV. All of them have practically identical dynamics.
On it video the salon had 4 passengers + small luggage.
Patriot Freedom Drive...LOL. They should come with an american flag already painted in the rear window. Silly.

Why did it redline? Is it a CVT transmission?

My patriot has a shiftable CVT so you can make it into a semi-manual..
My patriot actually seems a lot faster than this one.. lol

same with mine, seemed like it accelerated a lot quicker than this.

Well, really, "shiftable" as in preset "gears".
But yeah, i owned a car with CVT before and it akward sometimes.

Theoretically speaking a combustion motor is most efficient when running at near 100%
CVT's are great for economy. The Patriot has some of the best fuel mileage in its class.

so it just holds it at redline? wont that damage the motor after a while? glad my mom bought the 5 spd one, cuase the cvt seems like garbage,
SaGalv 2 years ago
It only holds it at redline during WOT acceleration.

it holds just under red line and as rudolph said only during WOT
if your always running WOT your motor wont last all that long anyway

Trail rated engine for north america is the 2.4L 'world engine'. I wish ChyCo would make a 5 speed that could handle the low range gearing!
RT360ci 3 years ago
the trail rated version is slower because of the gearing. the 2wd and regular 4wd systems are much faster.
