What transmission is equipped in the new Vios?
2 Answers
The new Vios is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission. It comes with a 1.6L Dual VVT-i engine and a 1.3L VVT-i engine. In terms of safety features, standard configurations include the GOA body structure, front passenger airbags, ABS with EBD, BA (Brake Assist System), and driver's seat belt reminder (warning light plus alert sound). The new Vios features an enlarged front grille area with multi-slat horizontal chrome grille bars, replacing the current single body-colored slat design. The fog light surrounds have been changed from black to bright silver. The current Vios tail lights adopt a red-on-top and white-on-bottom color scheme, while the facelifted Vios uses a white-on-top and red-on-bottom combination. Maintenance methods for the new Vios transmission: 1. Follow the manufacturer's requirements to regularly check transmission fluid, change it on schedule, and use the manufacturer-specified transmission fluid grade. 2. Only about 30% of the total fluid volume can be drained through the drain bolt. In this case, using a transmission cleaner is not recommended. 3. For a complete transmission fluid change, use a transmission cleaner with a transmission fluid exchange machine. Before draining the old fluid, pour the cleaner into the transmission, lift the drive wheels off the ground, start the engine, and shift gears repeatedly to allow the cleaner to flush all internal areas. After cleaning, use the exchange machine to drain the old fluid while injecting new fluid, and finally replace the filter.
The new-generation Toyota Vios is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, featuring Toyota's signature Super CVT-i system. After driving it for over half a year, I find its driving experience exceptionally smooth, with almost no gear-shifting jerkiness during urban commuting, making it particularly suitable for congested roads. Its fuel efficiency is outstanding—a full tank can cover dozens of extra kilometers, saving a significant amount of money in the long run. Maintenance isn't overly complicated; just check or replace the CVT fluid every 60,000 kilometers or so, and avoid sudden hard acceleration during daily driving to extend its lifespan. For novice drivers or daily family use, this system is very user-friendly as it simplifies operation and is easy to get accustomed to. However, engine noise can be slightly noticeable during high-speed driving, though it doesn't significantly affect overall comfort. For frequent long-distance trips, activating Eco mode is recommended to optimize fuel efficiency.
