It's no different than Toyota with the current Corolla, they put a torque converter in a CVT gearbox to try to make it feel more like a normal gearbox. A whole bunch of early ones had to be recalled and the gearbox replaced.
They are still not great, and I reckon the previous one had a smoother box.
