FYI this is not a belt driven CVT. Toyota's hybrid CVT's are much different than their gas only CVT's. This CVT uses a rotary planetary gear set with 2 electric motors to put the power down variably. It is technically Continuously Variable but its really just a single final drive gear with electric motors that modulate the output based on their speed and direction. There is no belt like honda/nissan.
I understand what people are saying about the CVT and I know it sounds annoying, I also thought this but I got one for a weekend test, and it's really not that noticeable, what I mean by that is, realistically, you're not going to have your foot flat on the floor all the time so it won't be constantly doing it, and even when you do floor it, for acceleration or overtaking, it's for no longer than maybe what, 10 seconds? 99% of the time you don't even notice, or at least that's just my opinion, Johan made a fantastic video but he was accelerating hard to show us the car and it's capabilities etc, I assume that on a normal day if he was not doing a video he wouldn't drive like that, and I bet you don't either. If the CVT is the only thing stopping you from buying this car, give it a test and see for yourself, it's genuinely not that bad
@@Edvard.Munchkin normally I drive with the windows up... but now the weather is getting nice... I open them while driving and can I tell I was like wtf
The car sounds very quiet and very comfortable to drive .. if there was a stationwagon or hatchback version it would be a no brained for me. But this plus the fact you can’t have it with a tow bar puts me off .. but other then that great value for its money and in black really nice looking .
Wenn sie viel Autobahnen fahren ist ein Diesel Fahrzeug gunstiger dann ein Hybrid Auto! Wenn Sie nur oder überwiegend Landstraße fahren ist der Hybrid Auto günstiger! Ich fahre nur Landstraße weil die weniger Kilometer verlangen dann mein Zeil über die Autobahnen zu erreichen! Dann ist die Strecke kurzer und sind die Kosten gunstiger! Corolla Hybrid fast 200 ps Verbrauch 5 Liter und das schaffen die Diesel Autos nicht!
I just a Toyota Camry hybrid xle 2014... like two weeks ago.. I normally drive with the windows closed but I started driving with them open.... I cant stand the noise from the e-cvt....... its annoying... like tf...
It is hard to believe but it is quite the opposite. When cruising in hybrid vehicles, you either use no energy, a little bit to stabilize the speed or a lot to accelerate. The first two cases should not require the ICE unless the battery is depleted. When accelerating "hard", you need as much power as possible, the CVT holds in that case the RPM at the peak power of the engine for the time of the acceleration. As the power output of a specific engine depends (mostly) on its speed, the faster it rotates, the more power it delivers (until the technical or rev limit). Torque does not matter in the case of naturally aspirated gasoline engine have a torque curve which has a mere 10-15% variation on a 1000-6000 rpm range.
@@andersnielsen6044 If you want to know more about the automatic transaxle in this vehicle, here's a good source of information: th-cam.com/video/w_mc17CoyJs/w-d-xo.html (old version of the transaxle but very good explanation) and th-cam.com/video/-dHeRJdrnI8/w-d-xo.html (latest version, P710 variant is used in the current Camry hybrid). Obviously, this is not a traditional push-belt CVT...
HerrVirgilius pretty sure Toyota and Nissan knows what they’re doing, Toyota hybrid vehicles in specific, otherwise they would have ditched CVT a while ago, yeh it sounds bad on camera but meh

You can blame shitty POS Nissan Jatco garbage for ruining the public's perception of CVTs. They pretty much single handedly ruined it.

I just got 2014 Camry hybrid I can't stand that noise... its annoying asf..
@@jamaicanislandgirl876 really? I didn't notice it too much unless I floored it
For real... its annoying...
@@jamaicanislandgirl876 can you return it if you just bought it and don't like it?

Nice and smooth, generally I don't like CVT transmission but this car seems to be great for everyday driving.

Hybrid wis 4,5 Liter ? Just im town?
Can the engine be on for five hours
Do you feel vibration from gas pedal / floor / steering wheel ? Is the engine rough ?
Camry never had any problem or feel like that it drives smooth without any vibration
No actually there is a sensation. I have driven Camry and there is a slight sensation on the pedal.
That CVT drone. 😭
which country are you from
Belgium. Where are you from?
Where are you from????????????

Demo of parking: literally 28 seconds and two attempts to parallel park with nothing behind him.
Cvt noise is not annoying to me at all
at least its not a belt cvt but a mechanical e-cvt

Why does it even have a rev counter?
It doesn't
@@CMDR_Birb
You're right
The rev counter is in the HUD!
Thought it was 208HP
It is
Combined maximum output is 218 PS or 160kW
In Europe it has 218HP
Do a pov test of the new accord

close your windows again and play some music.
I mean, the 8 speed transmission is pretty noisy too lol
you must never hear honda CVT's lol
Too bad it's not 2.5 208hp gas with 8 speed auto like in US. That engine is the best.
First
Nice car all the way.. Except for the rpm-madness and waste of energy the CVT-gear costs.. So it is just a no go, no matter what else it offers..
