Salam bros,

Im from Sri Lanka,

I searched for some information on my dream car - passo and found out this thread. i would bet this is the every much informative and useful discussion page on earth for passo.

I'm looking forward to buy a passo any sooner and so far what i got to know is that passo is equipted with a CVT not an ordinary 4 speed auto transmission. like pakwheels in pakistan, a site named autolanka is very famous in my country, all the discussions going on here says the same. kindly clarify.

Wassalam

thanks mate,

it seems new KGC30 is equipted with CVT while the 1st Generation KGC10 comes with AT, thanks for your clarification. by the way i was bit afraid to go for KGC10 thinking that is a CVT,which very few mechanics in SL can repair. So hoping to role out a passo any soon..will post the pick here ia.

Well if your cousin sells the car, then you can trust him. Just ask him to give the car in "as it is" condition. Get it checked from mechanic for the transmission especially.

Cvt is most advanced type transmission, and definitely better than AT.

But here in pakistan we dont prefer cvt as it cng doesnt work on cvt cars

Do you guys run cars in CNG???..in my country we hardly see few gas stations, only few 3wheels and some old vans run in LNG..is that so cheap. here a litre of petrol cost $1.1 and diesel cost $0.9

Well, personally i dont use CNG. But Pakistan is top user of CNG in cars. We have got CNG available on almost every petrol pump. We have very elite cars running on CNG.

Petrol here is around a $ 1 per litre.

Cvt is more fuel efficient w.r.t petrol. Cng doesnt work on cvt.
Cvt in passo came in 2010 model i guess.

@Raza.. why didnt u buy CVT model as u preferred petrol .. was it because of budget, because as u mentioned that CVT in passo started coming from 2010 and i think ur passo model is 2008

CVT is a type of transmission right, how come the fuel type would have anything to do with the transmission type..whether it is CNG or Petrol it would end up turning engine which would eventually turn the transmission,isn't it

Sincerely i didnt know about the cvt thingy at the time of buying passo, as the models which i was targeting was just AT. Mine is 2007 model.

Well i am not a technical person, i am telling what i have heard / searched about cvt. Here is what written on wikipedia:

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a transmission that can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values.

This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that offer a fixed number of gear ratios. The flexibility of a CVT allows the driving shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity over a range of output velocities. This can provide better fuel economy than other transmissions by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient revolutions per minute (RPM) for a range of vehicle speeds.
