What brand is the Camry 8AT transmission?
2 Answers
The Camry 8AT transmission is from the Aisin brand. Taking the Camry 2021 2.0E Elite Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this car is GAC Toyota, classified as a mid-size sedan, with a gasoline energy type. The transmission is a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 10 gears), and the body type is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan with a top speed of 205 km/h. The car's length, width, and height are 4885mm, 1840mm, and 1455mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The intake form is naturally aspirated, the drive type is front-wheel drive, the front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is E-type multi-link independent suspension. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine and can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts.
I remember when driving the Camry, that 8-speed automatic transmission was from Aisin—so smooth! There was absolutely no jerking during gear shifts, especially in stop-and-go city traffic. Aisin is a long-term partner of Toyota, custom-designed for the Camry, ensuring stable and reliable performance. The fuel efficiency was outstanding, maintaining low RPMs during highway cruising, saving a lot on gas. I drove over 100,000 kilometers with hardly any issues, just routine transmission fluid changes. For the average driver, it's the most worry-free choice. Designed with durability and smoothness in mind, it felt as soft as silk, perfectly matching the Camry's family-oriented positioning.
