2021 Toyota Corolla: Smart Transmission Design

The transmission plays a huge part in the efficiency of your vehicle. The Toyota Corolla enhances your fuel economy with the addition of a standard Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

This system doesn’t use gears. Instead, it’s designed to provide a spectrum of shift points that you move through seamlessly so you have ideal power and efficiency every time.

If you want more control over the way your vehicle shifts, this sedan also offers a 6-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission. This system lets you manually change gears so you can keep your RPMs low and your fuel economy high.

There’s also a nice in-between with the available Dynamic-Shift CVT. It comes standard on select trims and helps the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine deliver a smooth ride, good fuel economy, and a more athletic performance.

Fuel-Saving Tips

While engineering plays a huge role in the fuel efficiency of the Toyota Corolla, practicing efficient driving habits will take you far.

One of the most important things to remember is that you should avoid pressing hard on the throttle too often. Pressing hard on the throttle means you use fuel quickly, so staying away from a lead-foot philosophy can save you a lot of gas.

Another important thing is to keep an eye on your tire pressure. If the tire pressure is below the recommended limit, your tires will create extra resistance on the road and force your engine to work harder. By keeping your tires at their intended pressure, you’ll ensure you have a great fuel economy.
