What kind of transmissions does Subaru use?

Subaru Transmissions
Subaru motor vehicles use a variety of transmissions, including manual, conventional automatic, and continuously variable transmissions (CVT). Subaru manufactures its own manual and CVT transmissions for non-Kei cars. Since the 2014 model year, the conventional automatic transmissions in North American-spec Subaru vehicles have been replaced with Lineartronic CVTs, with the exception of the BRZ.
– Manual Transmissions: Subaru offers a race-inspired 6-speed manual transmission.
– Conventional Automatic Transmissions: Subaru used to use conventional automatic transmissions, but they have been replaced with Lineartronic CVTs since 2014, except for the BRZ.
– Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT): Subaru introduced CVTs in their vehicles, which offer benefits such as improved fuel efficiency and smooth power delivery. Subaru produces their own CVT transmissions specifically designed for their vehicles.
It’s worth noting that Subaru vehicles with CVTs also offer paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel, allowing drivers to choose from six preset “gears” for a more engaging driving experience.
