    it is an e-cvt. never cvt. Do not mix. very different. not the gearbox. no clutch. There is no damper. There is no torque converter. indefectible. No error. seamlessly. It can travel millions of kilometers.

      @@hishamilmalik114 I know how reliable they are.( i drive a Lexus RC 300h)
      But this has nothing to do with the fact that the transmission in a Toyota/Lexus hybrid is a CVT or not.
      So the transmission in a Toyota/Lexus hybrid is definitely a CVT.
      Please allow me to explain. The most common mistake people make in the "CVT debate" is that they misinterpret the term CVT.
      The term CVT has nothing to do with the architecture or how the transmission works but what she does. In other words: CVT is the RESULT
      of how a transmission works. I will clarify this with 2 examples:
      First example:
      The transmission with 2 pulleys and a belt (AKA the traditional CVT)
      In short: the most common type of a CVT uses a V-belt witch runs between two pulleys, the cone-shaped halfes of the pulleys can move together and apart.
      So that is how the transmission is built and how she works and the RESULT of that is a transmission with no fixed gears or steps but instead of that
      a transmission with a variable gear ratio or CVT.
      Second example:
      Toyota/Lexus Hybrid Synergy Drive (AKA eCVT)
      Very short : this transmission uses a complex planetary gear system with 2 electric motors- generators (MG 1 & MG 2)
      integrated. The mechanical gearing design of the system allow the mechanical power from the ICE to be split in 3 ways:
      - Extra torque at the wheels under constant rotation speed.
      - Extra rotation speed at the wheels under constant torque
      - Power for an electric generator.
      Now that is the architecture of the system and how it works and it's completely different from the one in the first example with the 2 pulleys, you can't
      even compare them.
      But the RESULT is exactly the same: a transmission with a variable gear ratio or CVT( Continuous Variable Transmission).
      CVT's are used in many vehicles even in bicycles ( NuVinci hub). And of course a CVT of a bicycle works totally different than a CVT of a car, but the
      RESULT is, again , exactly the same: a transmission with a variable gear ratio or CVT.
      Conclusion:
      Every eCVT is a CVT but not every CVT is an eCVT.
      So CVT is just a collective name for transmissions with a variable gear ratio.

    For those who don’t know about ECVT and confused about the top speed , it’s actually a physical limit, since it’s a E CVT, it doesn’t have a traditional gear box, it utilizes 2 electric motors and a planetary gear box to mimic a 6 speed transmission, but the RPM of the motor has a limit, so the top speed is limited at 190 km

    While I've enjoyed having this car for the past two months, the Sonic Titanium color, while stylish, doesn't quite capture the essence of a highway cruiser. It feels more at home in the city. In that regard, I would say that a BMW 520i might be a more suitable choice for someone who prioritizes highway cruising.

    Ich finde es gut, dass du auch mal diese Lücke der innovativen Antriebe zeigst. Ich weiß, dass jeder seinem 1.9er TDI hinterherweint, aber außerhalb Europas wird Diesel nahezu ausschließlich für Güterverkehr genutzt. Genauso ist eine Geschwindigkeit größer 150kmh für 99,88% der Fahrer irrelevant. Ich kann es echt nicht mehr hören. Schreibe ja auch nicht unter jeden Porsche, dass mir das Auto zu viel verbraucht und der Preis zu hoch ist...

    Love to see a car similar to mine actually being able to stretch its legs. where I live 150km/h is as fast as you can go because of the poor road condition(on the expressway). 100 km/h is the most comfortable speed to cruise in then again that is the speed limit.

    It’s really nice you can go really fast on the Autobahn, but you’ll definitely pay for it in gas, more than double the gas for this hybrid. I wish we had high-speed areas here in the United States. There’s a lot of Midwest states that are really flat and straight highways, and you can only go 70 to 80 mph, so it seems like it can take forever to get through these stretches.

      I have a feeling that you didn't read the video title before watching the video that contains the title 'Topspeed.' After watching the video, you wrote a pointless comment. It's normal for everyday traffic on the German autobahn to drive mostly over 160 km/h, with some even reaching speeds over 200 km/h. We test every car's top speed and create other videos with city POV footage, as well as fuel consumption resets, to show viewers how much fuel the car consumes in city driving or at high speeds on the autobahn.
