The 2007 Dodge Caliber and the related Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot employ a CVT using a variable pulley system as their optional automatic transmission. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer model is available with CVT as the automatic transmission. DE and ES models receive a standard CVT with "drive" and "low" gears; the GTS model is equipped with a standard drive and also a "Sportronic" mode that allows the driver to use 6 different preset gear ratios (either with the shifter or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters). The 2009 SEAT Exeo is available with an automatic CVT (multitronic) as an option for the 2.0 TSI petrol engine, with selectable "six-speeds". In 2010, the US Patent Office issued patent number 7,647,768 B1 for a series of hydraulic torque converters that use hydraulic friction rather than mechanical friction as a CVT. Suzuki has used CVT since 2010 on their SX4 and Kizashi models. In 2016, FCA US LLC announced the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan which uses a CVT instead of the 9-speed automatic found in gasoline versions. For the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Toyota created an all new CVT with a "launch gear" or a physical 1st gear from a conventional automatic transmission alongside the CVT pulley. From 0-25 mph the transmission would stay in this launch gear to aid in acceleration from a stop and improve durability of the CVT. After 25 mph, the transmission would switch over to the CVT pulley.
