What's the difference between automatic transmission and continuously variable transmission?

Regarding the question you asked, the biggest difference between CVT and ordinary hydraulic automatic transmission lies in its structure. The latter consists of a hydraulically controlled gear transmission system or gears, which can realize stepless speed change between two gears, while CVT consists of two sets of speed change wheels and a transmission belt, which is simpler in structure and smaller in size than the traditional automatic transmission. In addition, the transmission ratio can be changed freely, and the whole stepless speed change can be realized, which makes the speed change more stable and will not have the "stuck" feeling when the traditional transmission shifts gears. There is not much difference between the two transmissions in actual driving.
