Small Engine (AT) vs Big Engine (CVT)

[red_one]

In terms of fuel economy, which is better?

1. Mitsubishi LancerEX MX 1.6L (4-AT) or LancerEX GT-A 2.0L (6-CVT)?
2. Toyota Altis 1.6G (4-AT) or Altis 2.0V (7-CVT)?

Thanks.

Sir single speed lang ang mga CVT.

Hehe, single speed so primera lang siya lagi?

6-CVT and 7-CVT is from manufacturer datasheet and refer to equivalent speed when compared to conventional AT.

mrjeff is quite right. But it doesn't mean na naka primera lang siya lagi. A CVT is comprised of two pulleys connected by a belt. (Same sa mga motor na mio if you already ridden it). There are no set number of “gears” in a CVT because it can choose the exact gear ratio along a “variable” continuum between it’s lowest and highest gear ratios.

Sa madaling salita, pulleys ang nagpapaandar sa mga CVT na sasakyan at hindi mga gears like the conventional Automatic Transmission cars na may gears.

Thanks sa clarification. But like what I already said, the 6-CVT and 7-CVT descriptions are from the manufacturer datasheet so I just posted as they are. This thread simply wants to compare small engine with traditional AT vs big engine with CVT.

CVT is always more fuel efficient compared to standard ATs,provided same engine specs is being used for comparison.

True but I am not comparing same engine specs in this thread. Please see car models I posted above. Thanks.

Please add usage parameters such as percentile in city and highway driving, percentile on the number of passengers. And if the driver is male or female.

Let's say 4 passengers and same driver for both cars. Take 3 scenarios:

a) 75% city, 25% highway
b) 25% city, 75% highway
c) 50% city, 50% highway

IMHO, 1.6L still best for fuel economy. specially with stop and go traffic or city driving. unless we are talking about rpms above 4,000 or so. or higher speed wherein you can utilise the cvt's many gears.

so which use will the cars be?
