Sirji pls suggest the safest car petrol automatic 2018 under 15 lakh. Thank you

Is CVT also 5-speed, 7 speed etc. ? Can we add that detail as well here ?
No, CVT by definition is Continuous Variable transmission, which means the ratios can be adjusted continuously.
When they come with a paddle shifter (6/7 Spd normally), they fix 6/7 ratios for the speed.
