My new ride [Vitz 2006, Fresh import]

[syed-shoaib]

Asalam-o-Alikum warahmatullah,

I was planning to upgrate my Cultus Vxli 2008 for last three months. There was a big tie between Toyota vitz and Suzuki Swift. Both rides are awesome, but I had to pick one. So, in the end I picked Toyota Vitz. The main reason to pick it was the lack of auto transmission in Suzuki Swift.

Second tie was in between 1.3L and 1.0L versions. Though 1.0 is the best if one wants to save fuel and taxes but I required power too. So I opted for 1.3 version.

I will use this thread to keep you all updated about the ride inshAllah.

Can you tell me how can I find out its transmission ?
.

It is a 4AT gear transmission, not CVT, as I do hear gear shifts while driving.

Ahan. But this one does not feels like CVT as I clearly feel the gear change. So, I think its simple 4AT and not a CVT.

I dont know about the transmission. I think it is simple 4AT. Some one on pakwheels was telling that the CVT one comes with 2NZ-FE. .

The 1KR-FE and 2SZ-FE both come with the Super CVT-i gearbox. The 2NZ-FE (4WD variant) only comes a conventional 4-speed automatic transmission. So, your Vitz does have the Super CVT-i gearbox if it has the 2SZ-FE as you've claimed it does.

But, do us a favor and post a picture of the engine bay.

Ahan. well I have heard that when we drive a CVT car, we do not feel gear shifts because it supports a constant variable shifting. But non CVT rides give us a feeling of normal gear shift. My ride gives me a gear shift feeling like engine noise/RPM increases and with acceleration it comes down just as it happens when we make gear shift in manual ride.

Anyways, I am absolutely sure that the engine in 2SZ-FE and inshAllah I will post engine bay pictures soon.

You wont regret this beauty over swift. If its CVT then please be very careful with Transmission oil change and specs.

Take good care of it

Nice pics Shoaib . Same colour as mine.

Just a question. Why did you use LiquiMoly AT Oil and not the Toyota CVT oil as recommended? Did you do a completely drain and re-fill?
