Cooling system keeps Chevy transmission calm and cool Ray Magliozzi
E
ver since I purchased my Chevrolet Traverse LT, I’ve noticed that the transmission temperature gauge regularly reads around 212 degrees at highway speeds. The engine temperature gauge reads normal or even a little cooler than normal – even when it’s hot outside. I checked with the dealership and was told that this is normal operating temperature for this transmission. I worry that as soon as my warranty runs out, the transmission will expire. Does this sound normal to you? I am constantly worried, while on long trips, that the transmission will
give out in the middle of nowhere. Ramiro Don’t worry, Ramiro. It’s much more likely that something other than the transmission will give out in the middle of nowhere. Actually, your dealer is right. This sounds perfectly normal. Here’s how your transmission stays cool: Whenever your engine is running, the transmission fluid gets pumped into the transmission cooler, which lives inside your car’s radiator. As the transmission fluid passes through the radiator (inside those transmission cooler lines), it essentially gets bathed in coolant. Once it’s
cooled down, the fluid is sent back to the transmission to keep doing its job. And do you know the temperature of that coolant that cools the transmission fluid? It’s about 220 degrees. It’s the same as your normal engine operating temperature, which is in the range of 210230 degrees. Since the stuff that’s cooling the transmission fluid is 220 degrees, there’s no way the transmission fluid can end up cooler than that. Think about it this way: If you had the air conditioner in your house set to 68 degrees, and you left a pitcher of beer out on your kitchen table all day, there’s no way it’s going to ever get any cooler than 68 degrees, right? Though I’m

sure you’d drink it anyway. If your transmission fluid wasn’t running through that 220-degree coolant in the radiator, it could heat up to 350 or 400 degrees or more. Then it would cook itself and your transmission. But it sounds like your transmission cooling system is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, Ramiro. Hope that knowledge helps you cool off a bit, too. Got a question about cars?

2020 Toyota C-HR: fun over function
I
called the Toyota C-HR ugly before it even went on sale, but I’ve actually mellowed in the years since. The sharp angles may not be for everyone, but at least it isn’t a generic blob or a traditional-looking SUV. The 2020 C-HR has revised front styling, including new headlamps, but you’d be hardpressed to discern what’s different without putting the two side by side. There are also new wheel designs to choose from. Besides that, this is still the small, lifted hatchback that Toyota – and Cars.com, perhaps grudgingly – calls an SUV, despite its being exclusively front-wheel drive. It competes with similar FWD-only tall cars like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Soul and Nissan Kicks. The C-HR’s interior, particularly in the Limited trim I tested, has some hits and misses – not unexpected in a car costing less than $30,000. There’s decent leather upholstery on the Limited, and most of the hard surfaces don’t feel overly cheap, if not very upscale. Another hit is the 8-inch touchscreen, which is flanked by physical buttons that control various functions, as well as volume and tuning knobs. The system operates quickly and the graphics are clear, if a bit dated. Not so easy to use were
the menus in the gauge cluster, which could display a variety of information (including the G-forces the C-HR was experiencing while driving) but not a digital tire pressure readout. Toyota buried the C-HR’s drive modes in there, too, making it a pain to switch modes. Another miss is in the rear. Surprisingly, I had ample legroom and a decent amount of headroom in spite of the C-HR’s compact size and sloping roofline, but its high beltline and tiny rear window contributed to a very enclosed feeling overall. As for the cargo area, with the backseat upright, Toyota estimates the space at 19.1 cubic feet. In practice, it was enough for a pretty significant grocery run and would probably suffice for two adults’ luggage for a weeklong trip. The “C” in C-HR stands for “coupe,” so you’d be right to expect a sporty – or at least sportier – driving experience. (“HR” is for “High Rider,” because it sits a little higher.) And there is some of that sportiness there, with direct, communicative steering and nimble handling that make the C-HR feel like it can be pushed harder than the Venue or Kicks. The 144-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine also makes more horsepower than the Venue or Kicks, but it needs to; the CH-R outweighs those models by a
substantial 743 and 609 pounds, respectively (comparing base trim levels). The 2020 C-HR’s gas mileage is at the bottom of this subclass, rated by the EPA at 27/31/29 mpg city/highway/combined with its standard four-cylinder engine. That’s a lower combined rating than the Kicks, Venue or Soul with its standard four-cylinder engine. Toyota includes a full complement of standard safety tech on all C-HRs as part of its Safety Sense suite, helping mitigate limited visibility. Those features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams. Within its class of FWD-only

SUVs, the C-HR is one of the most expensive choices, particularly in the Limited trim – our test vehicle approached $30,000. Top trims of the Venue and Kicks, meanwhile, have sub-$25,000 prices, and the Soul Turbo offers more performance for a similar price. While the C-HR is more expensive, though, it does have more standard safety features and one of the more engaging driving experiences. What may make the C-HR most appealing in an increasingly crowded field of both front- and all-wheel-drive small SUVs is its combination of unique exterior styling, safety features and sub$30,000 pricing, particularly if shoppers are considering choices with all-wheel drive.
