like high revolutions, giving an impres- sion as if you were a tram driver. In our car the CVT with seven virtual gears works with a natu- rally aspirated 2.0 engine. After a several hundred kilometers travel on the highway, in the city or along local winding roads, we can say, that this duet engine – CVT with a new software is an effi- cient assembly supported by an intelligent active center differential of 4WD. If you treat subtly an accelerator we obtain an efficient, silent an – con- trary to appearances – economic drive system (at a certain moment we managed to reduce an average below 6L/100km). In the road situations that require a dynamic or quick overtaking of another vehi- cle, a car with three adult persons on its deck and packed up trunk without any stutter swallows space. Would you like to feel as in the sports car? Here you go – paddles behind the steering wheel are already awaiting, but take my word that after a few minutes you will come to a conclusion that a drive with a gear lever adjusted to the "D" po- sition is more than a need. At that very moment the only one inconvenience is a shift of virtual gear mapping to the higher range of engine revolutions which is manifested by increased noise from the engine compartment. Well, we know it from the other models of the Japanese manufacturer where take the lead engines which maximum torque and power are achieved each time at the high range of rotational speed. This is a characteristic feature of this family. vehicles
