When I drive down a steep road at 80 km/h in my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer and come up at the other side the motor is revving at about 4,000 revs. The dealer told me it was normal because of the new type of automatic. Is that correct, or is there something wrong with it?
Your car has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which is quite different to a conventional automatic transmission in the way it works. What you're observing is probably a characteristic of the CVT as the dealer has told you.
