You know, the slogan "unbreakable Toyota" is not casually called. Judging from the time that Toyota's ten-speed CVT has been on the market for so long, the response of this gearbox is still very good. Because CVT CVT has been criticized for its low transmission efficiency, especially when starting, the torque should not be too high, otherwise the steel belt will easily slip. In view of this phenomenon, the Diretc-shift CVT gearbox jointly built by Toyota and Aisin adopts virtual gear and starting gear direct drive, which solves this problem well.

Detailed explanation of Toyota 10 speed CVT gearbox

Toyota's ten-speed CVT gearbox is actually a combination of what we call E-CVT gearbox and 4AT gearbox, which consists of ten gears.

Let's talk about this E-CVT gearbox first. This E-CVT gearbox has nothing to do with CVT gearbox. You can't even find any steel belt transmission structure related to the traditional CVT gearbox in this gearbox. On the contrary, you can see more planetary gear transmission systems similar to AT gearboxes in E-CVT. It is not so much a gearbox as a transmission system with a very complicated structure, which is usually used in Toyota's hybrid cars.

In this ten-speed CVT gearbox, the E-CVT gearbox provides three fixed transmission ratios, which are combined with the first three gears of Toyota 4AT gearbox to form 1 to 9 gears, and the top gear of 4AT matches the top gear of E-CVT to form the tenth gear. Therefore, Toyota 10 speed CVT can be regarded as a hybrid product of 4AT and E-CVT.

The advantage of this is to make the gearbox smaller and lighter, which is said to be comparable to the 8AT gearbox. At the same time, the blessing of hybrid technology makes the whole more fuel-efficient. The engine of 1.2T also exploded with enough torque to drive the vehicle.
