Dive into the world of CVT transmission, uncovering its efficiency benefits alongside the reasons why it's not favored by all drivers.

Toyota hybrids are known for using CVT transmissions. However, modern Toyota hybrids actually use something called an e-CVT. What is it? Which models have it?

An automatic transmission is one of the most common due to its ease of use and more comfortable driving experience, but do you know how it works?

Toyota hybrids are known for using CVT transmissions. However, modern Toyota hybrids actually use something called an e-CVT, and it's a little bit different.

You already know how that works in a geared transmission, so here’s the curveball. To simulate a wide range of gear ratios, a CVT will slide the cones on each shaft closer together or further apart.

CVT (continuously variable transmission) There are several different designs, but the most common in automotive use is VDP (variable-diameter pulley).

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) Although its application in motor vehicles is relatively recent, compared to traditional automatic, the concept of the CVT transmission is actually quite old.

Toyota has revolutionized the auto industry over the past two decades and we take a closer look at one of their innovations, the Direct Shift CVT.

The CVT is actually a type of automatic transmission, but the two have distinct differences. What are the differences between CVT and automatic transmissions, and is one type better than the other?
