What transmission does the Toyota Camry have?

Toyota Camry offers three types of transmissions: a 6-speed automatic with manual mode for the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, an 8-speed automatic with manual mode for the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, and an ECVT transmission. The new DirectShift 8AT transmission is equipped with an improved multi-plate lock-up clutch, achieving near-full-range power lock-up, and features a gear mechanism with lower energy loss. The Camry is a model under GAC Toyota. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. For the exterior, the eighth-generation Camry features dual styling designs: Luxury and Sport, both inspired by Toyota's new "Keen Look" design language. The Luxury version adopts a large trapezoidal horizontal grille, with a streamlined body posture, lower waistline, and an extended roof rear section that increases rear headroom.

I've driven a Camry for many years. It mainly comes with an automatic transmission, with older models using 4-speed or 6-speed transmissions, which are smooth and reliable, with almost no jerking on the highway. The newer models mostly feature CVT (continuously variable transmission), making it more fuel-efficient and providing ultra-smooth gear shifts, which is very convenient in city traffic jams. The hybrid version uses an e-CVT, combining with the electric motor for quicker acceleration and simpler maintenance. The transmission requires regular maintenance, such as changing the oil every 60,000 kilometers, otherwise minor issues like slipping can occur. In short, the Camry is chosen for its hassle-free durability, especially the automatic or CVT versions, which are ideal for family trips and long-distance driving without fatigue.

As a car enthusiast, the Camry offers quite a variety of transmissions. The mainstream options are CVT or traditional automatic transmissions. The CVT features a gearless design, providing linear acceleration and high efficiency, especially when paired with e-CVT in hybrid models for smarter fuel economy. During driving, the RPM remains stable, and the sport mode adds fun by simulating gear shifts. I've driven a test version and found it responsive, though there's occasional slight shuddering at low speeds. Compared to older manual transmission models which are now rare, the automatic transmission is tuned for comfort with high reliability, making it suitable for daily commutes or long trips. For maintenance, pay attention to the oil change intervals and avoid high loads to extend its lifespan.

My Camry has a CVT transmission, which makes driving super convenient. Just step on the accelerator and it goes, no need to worry about shifting gears, making city traffic jams a breeze. The transmission is smooth and fuel-efficient, reducing monthly fuel costs a bit—saving money and being eco-friendly. The hybrid version is similar, with silky power delivery and no jerking. Maintenance is simple, just check the fluids every four or five years, with no major issues. Overall, it's reliable and perfect for daily use, much more hassle-free than a manual transmission.
