It’s not considered a safety issue by the manufacturer and is not listed among the recalls on the Transport Canada website. The CVT was introduced in most Corollas in 2014, and Toyota currently has a service campaign for 2014 through 2017 models in Canada. The hybrid Prius has had a CVT transmission since it arrived in 2000 and has earned an enviable record, but it is a unique design not shared with Toyota’s other hybrids. Until recently, Toyota was the exception. In practice, the increasing number of speeds in conventional automatics (up from four or five just a few years ago to as many as 10 speeds today) means the fuel consumption advantage with a CVT is small.Īlmost every automaker to offer a CVT transmission in Canada eventually experienced serious durability issues. And because it is “continuously variable,” it theoretically has the ability to provide the best gear ratio possible for economy or performance at any given time.
The CVT design offers a wide range in gearing. Its primary advantage is a fuel consumption savings compared to a conventional hydraulic automatic transmission. The CVT or Continuously Variable Transmission is featured on most hybrids and increasingly in regular gasoline-powered cars. The Automobile Protection Association rates the 2019 Corolla as a very reliable vehicle with low projected running costs and good resale value (we haven’t seen the 2020 model yet, but it will likely enjoy the same evaluation). I would like to know if the transmission on the 2020 Corolla LE is unchanged from the 2019 model, and also if it’s the same as the one for 2014 through 2017 Corollas that is covered by a repair campaign in the United States.Ī. I want to buy a 2020 Toyota Corolla, but not if it is likely to have reliability problems with its CVT transmission in the coming years.
