OEM KIA CVT transmission

I've got a 19 Soul exclaim with the 1.6 turbo and 7 speed DCT transmission. Drives great now but It only has 43k miles on it so I do worry about down the line since I'm out of warranty at this point for any possible drivetrain issues.

Pros: drives great now
Cons: worry about drivetrain issues
Vehicle: Kia Soul
Mileage: 69201 km

OEM KIA CVT transmission
  • Smoothness:
  • Shudder:
Rating 4.5

If you take care of it and follow some basic rules (like N while waiting in traffic, let engine get to optimum temp on cold start and regular maintenance) Kia have learned their lesson and tuned the transmission and engine to a point where DCT + 1L turbo engine is not a big concern nowadays. All the fear about DCT and turbo petrol is exaggerated.

Pros: well-tuned, reliable
Cons: requires careful use
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 2500 km
