What transmission is used in the 2019 Camry?
3 Answers
2019 Camry is equipped with two types of transmissions: CVT continuously variable transmission and 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The following is an introduction to transmission maintenance methods: Timely inspection of the transmission: It is necessary to regularly check the fluid level in the transmission to ensure it remains within the specified range, and replenish it promptly based on actual working conditions. When replenishing, ensure that the newly added fluid is of the same type. When changing the fluid, take advantage of the transmission's operation to promptly drain the old fluid and perform cleaning. Regularly inspect the working condition of the transmission gears to ensure optimal meshing between the gears, and clean them promptly to ensure perfect coordination between the gears and shafts. Timely inspection of the condition of different connection parts of the transmission: Tighten any loose connection parts promptly and repair or replace damaged parts in a timely manner. Regularly check whether there is any oil leakage or seepage at the oil seal of the shaft end face and the external joint, and replace any failed oil seals and paper gaskets promptly.
I've driven the 2019 Camry gasoline version, which comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid version features an electronic CVT transmission. The 6AT in the gasoline model runs quite smoothly, with quick and responsive starts in the city and barely noticeable shifts on the highway. The power delivery is linear, and fuel consumption is within a reasonable range—my average commute consumption is around 7L. It's recommended to change the transmission oil every 60,000 km to prevent aging issues. Overall, Toyota transmissions are highly durable and rarely require major repairs, making them suitable for owners who prefer a stable driving experience. The hybrid's e-CVT is more fuel-efficient but slightly more expensive to maintain, so it's worth weighing the long-term ownership costs.
As a daily family car owner, I think the 2019 Camry gasoline model comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid version uses an electronic CVT type. When traveling with kids, the gear shifts are smooth without jerking, and the children don't feel much bumpiness in the car, showing high reliability. The fuel consumption of the gasoline version is not too high, around 9L in the city and a bit over 6L on the highway, making it easy and worry-free to drive. The hybrid CVT might be more fuel-efficient, but it comes with battery maintenance costs. I suggest test driving and comparing before buying, focusing more on family needs like space and safety, which are the priorities. A stable transmission makes driving much more reassuring.
