New 6-speed Manual Transmission (6MT)
Toyota has also developed a new manual transmission in response to global needs, particularly those in Europe. Compared to the existing version, the mass of the new system has been reduced by seven kilograms and total length by 24 millimeters. This makes it one of the world's smallest transmissions*, and its small size contributes to improved fuel efficiency. The 6MT also offers world-leading transmission efficiency*, while the use of iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) controls, which automatically adjust engine rotations when changing gears, ensures smooth gear shifting―free of uncomfortable recoils―for the driver.
*As of February 2018 (Toyota Motor Corporation)
