No CVT, the car has no CVT. NO gearbox.

The Prius has an automatic gearbox with planetary gears which acts as a
CVT. The electric motor is connected to the ring gear of the gear set,
the generator is connected to the sun gear and the engine is connected
to the planetary carrier.

Oh look Drivel caught out talking ******** (again).

There are dozens of descriptions showing the Prius uses a form of CVT, but
to Drivel that must mean the DAF belts and pulleys type.

Which of course the latest hybrids have. ;-)
