Do Subaru, Audi and Nissan all use CVT technology?

CVT can be said to be the favorite of Japanese cars. Small displacement CVT has become a fuel-saving weapon for many Japanese cars. However, although the structural principle of CVT gearbox is the same, the details are different. For example, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and other brands mostly use steel belt transmissions, while Subaru and Audi use steel chain CVT gearboxes. Obviously, steel chains are more durable and have stronger torque tolerance, so they are widely used in turbocharged engine models of Audi and Subaru. It is worth mentioning that Audi has given up using CVT gearbox, and dual clutch gearbox has become its first choice. At present, only some brands such as Subaru have applied the steel chain CVT gearbox. However, with the improvement of technology, the torque carrying capacity of steel belt CVT gearbox has also been improved. Nissan's CVT gearbox can already withstand 400 torque meters, and the mainstream in the future is steel belt CVT gearbox.
