Toyota E'Z is equipped with a CVT transmission. The Toyota E'Z is a 5-door, 5-seater MPV with body dimensions of 4485mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1680mm in height, a wheelbase of 2780mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, and tire specifications of 205/60R16. The Toyota E'Z is powered by a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 103 kilowatts at 6400 rpm and a maximum torque of 173 Newton-meters at 4000 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've driven quite a few Toyota models and know a bit about the Verso. It indeed comes with CVT transmissions in certain variants, particularly those with the 1.8L petrol engines featuring Toyota's Super CVT-i technology. CVTs are significantly smoother than traditional automatics, with seamless gear shifts that make them ideal for city commuting. However, note that not all Versos are equipped this way; older models or diesel variants might have manual transmissions, and some market versions come with conventional 6-speed automatic transmissions. The CVT versions are notably fuel-efficient, delivering lower average consumption than comparable vehicles, making them practical for daily use. That said, CVTs require special fluid during maintenance due to their unique architecture – using incorrect fluids may cause issues. Overall, Toyota CVTs are quite reliable, but when buying used, always check the manual for specifications. The Verso offers generous space and hassle-free ownership, making it a solid family choice.
