<p>Each new generation Toyota features lightweight, compact engine and transmission technology to enhance fuel efficiency and drive performance, vitally contributing to lighter and smaller vehicle dimensions for lower consumption and reduced C02.</p><p>Our award winning 1.0 litre engine is made of aluminium and weighs only 67kg, the lightest engine on the market.</p><p>The 1.33 litre Dual VVT-i ultra-compact unit owes its success and neat design to the learnings from motorsport: a powerful four-cylinder option that matches a three-cylinder engine in size.</p><p>For instance, piston size was reduced by 30% versus previous engine and weight was also reduced by 36% from 280g to 180g, meaning less energy is required to move them.</p>
<p>Leading the way in technology, Toyota introduces a new advanced Stop & Start System that automatically switches off your engine when the vehicle is stationary: zero emissions, zero noise and vibration. It restarts seamlessly in 0.4sec the moment you engage your clutch, with no delay in power. Feels good, saves fuel.</p><p>Immediate restart is possible, even if the engine has not stopped yet completely, due to a permanently engaged gear mechanism.</p><p>The starter motor drive transmission itself is not executed using a belt drive design - so there is no torque limit to the entire system, be it in hot or cold weather operation.*</p><p>This breakthrough system provides: <br /> - Reduced fuel consumption in city driving <br /> - Improved comfort with silent, smooth and immediate re-start</p><p>* Toyota Stop & Start System is designed to work under certain operating conditions, please refer to your retailer for more explanation and/or user manual.</p>
<p>Toyota has developed a range of leading edge technologies to maximize combustion efficiency.</p><p>The refined 1.33 litre engine features motorsport inspired technology for extra power and higher fuel efficiency. Advanced features include an extremely high compression ratio - same as a race car.</p><p>Our revolutionary Valvematic system offers outstanding combustion efficiency by simultaneously controlling the valve timing and valve lift. Technology that achieves top-level performance at every engine speed.</p>
<p>We have maximized the efficiency, emissions, power and torque of our petrol engines through the advanced new Valvematic technology - optimal valve lift & timing system that generates top-level performance at every engine speed.</p><p> </p><p>Valvematic is an innovative development of Toyota's proven dual Variable Valve Timing - intelligent (dual VVT-i) technology. In addition to the variable timing of the inlet and outlet valves, Valvematic adds a lift control system that continually varies the lift of the inlet valves in order to better control the intake airflow volume and speed, resulting in more efficient mixing of air and fuel, hence consuming less fuel.</p><p> This provides a breakthrough in combustion efficiency that delivers up to 10% more power with 10% less fuel and emissions.</p>
<p>The new Toyota Optimal Drive D-4D & D-CAT engines use the very latest piezoelectric technology. <br /> The solenoid injectors of the previous diesel engines have been replaced by new efficient piezoelectric injectors. <br /> Piezoelectric injectors can 3 times more accurately control the fuel volume and the timing of the injection. The increased injection pressure - the highest injection pressures among systems of this type of 2000 bar - in combination with the new piezoelectric injectors leads to a better atomisation of the fuel, hence better mixing and combustion. More accurate control of fuel to volume ratio means less fuel used. <br /> This state-of-the-art system achieves class-leading levels of power and torque, with high fuel efficiency.</p>

<p>New electrically controlled system optimises the turbo performance throughout all engine speed. It eliminates the turbo lag at low engine speed and maximises the torque over the entire engine range. More torque, more response, more fun.</p><p> </p><p>At low engine speed, it reduces the turbo lag by reducing the size of the nozzle, which accelerates exhaust gas that goes to the turbine. It results in quicker spooling (eliminating turbo lag), improved throttle response, hence more power, torque and efficiency.</p><p> </p><p><br /> At high engine speed, it opens the nozzle to feed more air in the turbine, hence more power. <br /> Proactive electronic control means also quicker engine response than conventional mechanical systems.</p>
<p>Each new generation Toyota features lightweight compact engine and transmission technology to enhance fuel efficiency and drive performance. Vitally contributing to lighter and smaller vehicle dimensions for lower consumption and reduced C02.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, our refined 6-gear manual transmission design reduces the gearbox size by 11% and components by 15%. Less mass to move, more performance & fuel economy.</p>
<p>D-4D provides powerful yet environmentally friendly diesel engine performance. State-of-the-art common rail direct injection adjusts pressure, timing and volume as you drive, injecting finely atomized fuel at high pressure into the combustion chamber.</p><p> </p><p>The engine's unique combination of a low compression ratio and high boost turbocharger creates remarkable power output and engine efficiency. <br /> Also contributing to this is a new shape of the combustion chamber that optimises the combustion process. Next to offering low CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, the engines with optimised combustion reduce substantially at the same time the amount of particulate matter and NOx. Last but not least, 2.0 and 2.2 D-4D engines now all meet Euro V standards.</p>

The twin-shaft unit is 11 per cent smaller and has 15 per cent fewer components than the five-speed unit, but has a higher torque capacity.</p><p>For the first time on a Toyota diesel passenger car, a 6-speed automatic is introduced and will be available on the 2.2-litre D-CAT.</p><p>This brand new transmission is compact and extremely smooth. It features a proactive control optimising shift pattern based on road condition and driver's intention. Additionally, it has a 6-speed sequential M-mode control with paddle shift and "blipping" during downshifts enhancing fun and feel.</p>
<p>All new Toyota models come with a choice of new transmissions.
