It is an eCVT meaning its electronically controlled. HOWEVER, nothing about that says it can't have gears. The electronics can control the hydraulic valves that move the gear system around. Many automatic transmissions do this now and shifting is electronic. The CVT implies that there is a smooth transistion from one ratio to another, but that appears in the FEH to be done with a gear system... and it appears to be planetary.

From the few times I've parked on a hill and forgot to use the brake before shifing into park (which is bad) The parking system FEELS just like a normal automatic transmission, you feel the car roll slightly until it hits on what I assume is the Parking Pawl.
