What 2027 Toyota cars have cv transmissions?
At least six 2027 Toyota models carry CVT or e-CVT transmissions. These span conventional CVTs, Toyota's Dynamic Shift CVT with a physical launch gear, and hybrid e-CVTs across sedans, hatchbacks, crossovers, and the Crown flagship.
Evidence
- Per the Toyota USA Newsroom (July 2026), the 2027 Corolla Hatchback uses a Dynamic Shift CVT standard across all grades — notable for its physical launch gear that handles off-the-line acceleration before handing off to the pulley system, with paddle shifters simulating 10 preset ratios.
- Per CarBuzz (October 2026), the 2027 Corolla Hybrid (1.8L, 138 hp) uses an e-CVT in both FWD and AWD configurations.
- Also per CarBuzz, the 2027 Prius (2.0L, 194–196 hp) and 2027 Prius Plug-In Hybrid (2.0L, 220 hp) both use e-CVTs — confirmed additionally by the Toyota USA Newsroom (July 2026), which describes the Prius's THS 5 system channeling power through a continuously variable transmission.
- For the 2027 Crown, Car and Driver (August 2026) reports that the XLE, Limited, and Nightshade trims pair a 2.5L hybrid powertrain (236 hp combined) with a CVT, while the Platinum trim's turbocharged 2.4L Hybrid Max (340 hp) uses a conventional 6-speed automatic instead.
- Cars.com (June 2026) notes additional 2026–27 Toyota models with CVTs or e-CVTs exist beyond this list, as some vehicles offer multiple engine options only some of which are CVT-mated.
