If you plan on doing any upgrades on your car or truck, knowing how to determine what the gear ratio is can help you to make an educated decision when making changes to your drivetrain.

Right, but this one actually does the trick, benefiting from a wider range of ratios and programming that produces crisp «shifts» whether left to its own devices or shifted manually via the gear lever or steering column - mounted paddles (exclusive to the SR trim, which I'll talk about more shortly).

Having two mechanical gear ratios, controlled by clutches, does enable the power flow through the motor - generators to be kept small, but at considerable added expense in mechanical components.

The hybrid system doesn't require a conventional transmission so it is fitted with a single fixed - gear ratio that creates a direct connection between moving components.

CVT stands for «continuously variable transmission,» meaning that it does not shift gears like a regular automatic, but uses belts and a pulley to vary the gear ratios in minute increments, so you never feel it change.

A CVT does not shift gears like a regular automatic but makes tiny shifts using belts and pulleys that move from side to side, essentially altering gear ratios as they go.

It's a nicely done package, with your choice of a 138 - horsepower four - cylinder engine or a 181 - horse V - 6, and you can get it with a CVT (continuously variable transmission), which doesn't shift gears per se; using belts and pulleys, it sort of has an infinite number of gear ratios to use.
