A CVT is a type of automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratios.

The K110 features a torque converter with a long-travel damper to help achieve quiet operation and improved fuel efficiency.

Applications: The K112 transmission, introduced in October 2005, is a modified version of the K111 that is built to work with higher displacement 2.4L engines.

The benefit of this system is that traditional CVTs tend to have low efficiency in lower gear ratios, creating a moment of sluggishness when starting from a stop.

Later in February 2003 Toyota achieves fuel efficiency improvements through its Intelligent Idling Stop System developed by adding an electronic oil pump to the K210 belt-type CVT, ensuring excellent startup performance during engine restarts and producing class-leading fuel efficiency.

Applications: Final drive: A version of the K410 transmission with the differential shifted forward to maximize space the Toyota iQ, a compact city car that was engineered to maximize passenger space, while minimizing exterior length.
