Today’s automatic transmissions are better than ever. An advanced system like a CVT transmission offers a buttery smooth transition between various gears that ensures a luxuriously supple ride feel for all passengers. Learn how the Mitsubishi CVT transmission works, how it benefits your vehicle performance, and when to book service.

Understanding the Mitsubishi CVT Transmission: Smooth and Efficient

The key to a CVT transmission is its construction. A CVT transmission is lighter in weight than a traditional automatic transmission and is commonly designed with an internal pulley system that allows the transmission to shift between high and low gear ratios seamlessly. Instead of a gearbox that locks the gear ratios, a CVT transmission can essentially swing back and forth to meet the energy demands of the engine. 

CVT transmissions can also be designed around a toroidal or a hydrostatic concept. With a toroidal CVT, the gear ratios change by using an internal system of discs that rotate on two axes. A hydrostatic CVT, on the other hand, uses fluid to adjust the gear ratio. No matter the construction, as soon as you hit the gas pedal, a CVT transmission will accelerate smoothly to cruising speed and down to a complete stop. 

Benefits of a CVT Transmission 

The main benefit of driving a vehicle with a CVT transmission is excellent fuel efficiency. Since a CVT transmission constantly adjusts the gear ratios to find the most efficient RPM for your driving needs, your engine ends up requiring less fuel overall. Optimized fuel efficiency may be particularly important if you spend a lot of time driving in the city or suburbs. 

Additionally, a CVT transmission offers a more adaptive driving experience. No matter where the road takes you, the CVT transmission in your Mitsubishi vehicle will adapt to the challenges of your driving environment, even if traveling uphill or at higher speeds requires greater RPM than cruising. For some vehicles, a CVT transmission may also offer a quieter driving experience. 

When Do You Need CVT Maintenance?

Just like a regular automatic or manual transmission, you will need to visit your local Mitsubishi dealership to service your CVT transmission when you notice a change in your vehicle’s performance. For example, you may notice that your vehicle is prone to overheating or that your fuel efficiency has changed. Some drivers may even notice a burning smell from beneath the hood that could indicate severe issues with the transmission system. 

The CVT transmission in your Mitsubishi is one of the reasons why your vehicle has such fantastic fuel economy. Keeping up with transmission maintenance is the best way to ensure a smooth driving experience in the future. Book your next service appointment at Music City Mitsubishi in Nashville, TN. 

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is one of the most efficient vehicles you’ll find on Nashville streets. Mitsubishi offers four different trim levels, making it easy to customize its midsize SUV to meet the demands of family life. We take a close look at each Outlander PHEV model.

Trim Levels of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid

Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps the cabin at the optimum temperature. Drivers receive assistance with parking from a rearview camera.

2. SE

Next is the SE, an Outlander with a bolder appearance thanks to its 20-inch two-tone wheels and silver accents on the bumpers. This trim also gains convenience features, such as heated power-folding mirrors, a hands-free liftgate, and a 360-degree camera. Inside the leatherette-lined cabin, drivers benefit from an eight-way power-adjustable seat and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob.

The SEL moves the range into luxury territory with its panoramic sunroof and tri-zone climate control. Front passengers now have a power-adjustable seat and drivers can save their seat and mirror preferences using the new memory function. Even rear occupants enjoy an elevated level of comfort from heated rear seats.

Mitsubishi’s Green Initiatives: A Mitsubishi Dealership Tells All

A Vision for 2050, Targets for 2030

Mitsubishi has been aggressively making changes today to face a world where clean water and a green ecosystem are more important than ever. The Environmental Vision 2050 plan isn’t just the lofty target of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050. It includes solid plans and hard targets that act as milestones along the way. Specifically, Mitsubishi Motors has set some definitive targets for 2030 to help make the world a better, greener place:

Slash CO2 Emissions

With the planet heating up, Mitsubishi set the ambitious goal of cutting CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 40% or more compared to their 2010 output. So far, they’ve managed a sharp 17% reduction from their lineup when compared to that benchmark, and progress continues.

But CO2 from their lineup isn’t the only place Mitsubishi Motors is looking to cut emissions. They’re also looking to slash CO2 production from their business activities by 50% versus FY2018. They’re already well on their way, with 2023’s CO2 production falling by 34% versus the 2018 benchmark.

Sell More Electric Vehicles

Mitsubishi is working hard to drive the electric revolution. The first electric Mitsubishis hit the market in 2019, making for 7% of the wholesale volume of units sold in that fiscal year. By 2030, the goal is to electrify a full 50% of auto sales. So how are they doing? The FY2023 numbers show a jump to 15%, more than double where sales started and a 3% jump over 2022.

Supply Chain Initiatives

Mitsubishi isn’t just thinking about their direct production of CO2. They’re also looking to make changes further up the supply chain. They’re promoting CO2 reduction activities in cooperation with logistics companies and major suppliers in order to make the entire supply chain more efficient.

Additional Initiatives

Mitsubishi isn’t stopping with model redesigns. They’re reevaluating sustainability across the product lineup. One target for 2030 is to reuse batteries in electrified vehicles, minimizing resource waste and maximizing efficiency. They’re also rapidly expanding their use of non-fossil-based plastics to reduce reliance on petrochemicals.

They’re even working to adopt a zero direct landfill waste process, with the aggressive target to have less than 0.5% of their resources going to landfills by 2030.

Mitsubishi Motors is working hard to make a world that is greener and more sustainable than ever. Join the revolution. Test drive a Mitsubishi today at Music City Mitsubishi in Nashville, TN
