Is the Levin equipped with a large or small CVT?
2 Answers
The Levin is equipped with a large CVT. The CVT transmission in the Toyota Levin is an imported unit. In terms of smoothness and fuel economy, the CVT transmission performs better. However, the 6AT transmission structure can withstand greater torque. Generally, the lifespan of CVT transmissions in high-displacement models may be somewhat affected. For everyday family use, the CVT transmission is the better choice. Below is additional information about the Levin: 1. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4640*1780*1455 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. 2. Powertrain: The Levin is powered by a 1.8L engine, delivering a maximum output power of 72kW and a maximum torque of 142Nm. The 1.8L engine in the Levin offers average performance, with weaker low-end torque and noticeable lag.
I often take my family on trips in my Levin, which features a compact CVT designed to be lightweight and efficient. As a compact car, the Levin is equipped with a simulated 10-speed CVT that, while not large in size, delivers smooth and fuel-efficient performance, especially with quick responses during stop-and-go city driving. Unlike the larger CVTs used in SUVs or pickup trucks that can handle high torque, the Levin's small CVT is more suited for daily family use and pairs well with its 1.8L engine. You might feel the acceleration is a bit sluggish when driving on mountain roads or under heavy loads, given its limited horsepower, but maintenance is straightforward—just regular oil changes. Personally, I recommend this car for those who prioritize fuel economy.
