Cars with a CVT (continuously variable transmission)

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) has no fixed gears. It changes its ratio smoothly, usually with a belt or chain running between two variable-width pulleys, which keeps the engine near its most efficient speed.

Some shoppers look for a CVT because of its fuel economy and smooth acceleration. Others avoid it because of the droning engine sound under hard acceleration or concerns about long-term durability.

EPA also codes the power-split drive used in many hybrids as continuously variable. It works differently from a belt CVT, so this site keeps those vehicles on CVT lists but marks them "hybrid eCVT".

EPA is still adding 2027 vehicles, so this page uses 2026 as the current model year.
