Understanding the Transmission System in the Kia Soul

I recently bought a Kia Soul and I'm curious about how the transmission system works. Can someone explain this to me in simple terms?

The Kia Soul has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) which means it doesn't have gears like a traditional automatic transmission. Instead, it uses a pulley system to provide smooth and efficient power. It's important to regularly check and change the transmission fluid to ensure optimal performance.

The Kia Soul also has an available 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It allows for quicker shifts and a more engaging driving experience. However, it's important to properly maintain the transmission and avoid harsh driving habits to prevent potential issues.

If you're experiencing any issues with your transmission, it's best to bring it to a certified Kia technician for diagnosis and repair. Don't wait until it's too late, as transmission problems can be costly to fix.
