Here we share the video captured during acceleration from 0-100 km/h in a Proton new Saga FLX CVT continuous variable transmission gearbox in two mode – normal auto and stepped auto SAT mode. According to the specification, the CVT transmission gives acceleration time of 14.5 seconds from 0-100km/h for the 1.3 litre engine. We’ve tried both mode and found out the acceleration is around 14 seconds for both normal auto and SAT.

The difference between both mode is CVT normal auto mode gives more smooth acceleration while SAT gives quite rough acceleration maintaining RPM 5000-5500 with 5 speed auto. In conclusion, the SAT mode not really gives much differences. better stick to CVT normal auto mode. The disadvantage of the new CVT gearbox is it has no control over the 5 speed gear. Only L and D gear available for front move. While old 4 speed auto gearbox has L-2-3-D for driver to shift at anytime. The main advantages of CVT are smooth acceleration, fast low RPM response and better fuel consumption.
