Performance - Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CTV)

Hybrid Camry's performance is further enhanced by the Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT). Unlike conventional automatic or manual gearboxes, the car transmission delivers instantaneous power by instinctively selecting the transmission ratio seamlessly in all road conditions.

The e-CVT improves the vehicle's fuel efficiency and performance and helps provide effortless, smooth acceleration.

Constantly engaged car transmission

e-CVT makes for a completely seamless driving experience because your transmission is constantly engaged. It never needs to change gears.

With no conventional gears, the car will efficiently and seamlessly respond to the application of the accelerator pedal. By doing away with the inefficiency of lumbering through gear changes, Hybrid Camry accelerates to the desired speed with smooth grace and effortless precision.

Optimum performance, driveability and fuel economy

e-CVT seamlessly changes the transmission ratio for optimum performance, driveability and fuel economy. The petrol engine and electric motor always operate at their most efficiently, regardless of throttle or vehicle speed. It makes for a significant weight and space saving under the bonnet too, when compared with traditional transmission setups.

Standard automatic transmissions have a fixed number of gear combinations and ratios. Hybrid Camry's is different, it allows for virtually infinite combinations, maximising efficiency and producing silky smooth acceleration that's in a league of its own among medium-sized cars.


Powerful, smooth acceleration

You can ease up to speeds of around 40km/h on the electric motor alone, but once you really apply the accelerator, the petrol engine kicks in for effortless overtaking and hill climbs, or when you need it most.

During coasting, deceleration or braking, kinetic energy, which would normally be lost, is cleverly captured by the Hybrid Synergy Drive system, and then used to charge the hybrid battery.
