What transmission is used in the 2019 Camry?
2 Answers
2019 Camry is equipped with two types of transmissions: one is a CVT continuously variable transmission, and the other is an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The CVT continuously variable transmission can be divided into three types: hydraulic transmission, electric transmission, and mechanical transmission. The body dimensions of the 2019 Camry are 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The 2019 Camry is powered by 2.0L and 2.5L engines, with engine models M20C and A25A respectively. The M20C engine reaches its maximum power at 6600 rpm and its maximum torque at 5200 rpm. The A25A engine reaches its maximum power at 6600 rpm and its maximum torque at 5000 rpm.
Speaking of the 2019 Camry's transmission, I've driven the gasoline version of this model and felt it uses an 8-speed automatic transmission, which shifts exceptionally smoothly with almost no jerking. The fuel consumption isn't high during city driving, averaging around 8 liters per 100 km. I also test drove the hybrid version, equipped with an e-CVT electric continuously variable transmission—silent on startup, smooth acceleration, and impressively fuel-efficient at just around 5 liters per 100 km. The transmission design is quite intelligent, such as automatically coordinating with the engine to prevent rolling back when parked on a slope, making long-distance driving less fatiguing. I have some insights on transmission maintenance and suggest owners regularly check the fluid and filters, with a change every 60,000 km being a safe bet. But don't worry about failures—Toyota's system is known for its durability.
