Reviews of OEM Toyota CVT transmission

The eCVT is super smooth to drive. The wife loves how smooth it is.

The eCVT is probably the best transmission in terms of reliability that exist right now.

the 1.8 + eCVT is indestructable, there’s Auris with 5-600K doing Uber and Bolt with no issues.

Mine's older, a 2013 Hybrid, but a month into it there's no comparison. Just put your foot down, and elegantly drive away from anything that bothers you, and not even spill your tea. It's ... civilized.

Ecvt is amazing. I'm a mechanical engineer and bought a 25 Camry hybrid AWD. I actually bought it before I knew how the Ecvt worked and after digging into it I was blown away. Digging into it from an engineering perspective without going into complete detail, this is the most elegant and robust way I've ever seen to do power delivery on a vehicle. And it does so in a way that actually makes the system less complex removing the need for a dedicated starter and alternator for the internal combustion engine. Even braking is done with Regen braking recovering energy and transitioning flawlessly to the mechanical brakes when needed meaning you will change brake pads much less often also. I love the way mine feels and reacts to my inputs, 10/10 would absolutely buy again.

I got 25 Camry and love ECVT! Better then Auto!

I had an 8th generation hybrid and it was smooth as butter. No shift shock from stepped gears just seamless acceleration.

The eCVT is much smoother.

My current work car is a corolla with a CVT, it's got great mileage and they don't seem to die. Hundreds of thousands of KMs. It's been the type of car the workplace buys, none have caused problems. Even one that was stolen the transmission is fine.
