I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

    Is that what it is? I feel a bump at 80km and always think “CVT my ass”

      The paddle shifters have a usecase, it allows you to select portions of the cvt to increase acceleration or reduce road noise. The point of the cvt is to keep the vehicle at the most efficient rpm for fuel, which unfortunately is rather high and noisy.
