- Subaru CVT Transmission
The exciting new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is now available at Subaru Superstore of Chandler on the redesigned 2010 Subaru Outback and Legacy models! Designed to create a smoother performance and greater efficiency, the Lineartronic™ CVT is an innovative transmission technology, engineered to function perfectly with the SUBARU BOXER® engine and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Its compact design is lightweight, improving agility and gives more room to the interior. Available in both Automatic and 6-Speed Manual Modes, there is an option to satisfy any driving and performance preference.
Automatic Mode
Lineartronic™ CVT can reduce the amount you spend on fuel. Leave it in the Automatic mode, and the gearless transmission infinitely adjusts to match your acceleration needs — thereby eliminating the need to shift, which preserves the vehicle’s momentum that can be lost when a conventional automatic transmission shifts gears. Also, Lineartronic™ CVT uses a step-less gear ratio, which allows your engine to run in its optimal power range for improved fuel economy and performance.
6-Speed Manual Mode
For a more engaged driving experience, Lineartronic™ CVT comes standard with the 6-speed manual mode complete with paddle shifters mounted right at your fingertips. This system simulates the feeling of a 6-speed manual transmission by allowing you to manually select the gearing ratio that best fits your driving situation. It comes in handy for confidently merging onto the highway, passing other cars, or descending hills, as well as making the driving experience feel sharper and sportier.
Stop in to Subaru Superstore of Chandler today and experience CVT technology for yourself!
