2. Transmission & Driveline Kinematics
All Myvi variants are equipped with Daihatsu’s Dual-Mode Continuously Variable Transmission (D-CVT), which replaces the former 4-speed automatic to eliminate shift shock and improve highway fuel efficiency.
- Transmission Type: Daihatsu D-CVT (Belt-driven CVT integrated with a planetary split-gear mechanism)
- Manufacturer: Akashi-Kikai / Daihatsu Motor Company
- Drivetrain Configuration: Front-Engine, Front-Wheel Drive (FF layout)
- Operating Logic:
- Belt Mode (Low-to-Mid Speeds): Steel belt and variable pulleys handle step-off acceleration for seamless ratio changes.
- Split-Gear Mode (High-Speed Cruising): At cruising speeds, a planetary gear set engages via a clutch pack to transfer drive mechanically, bypassing the belt to reduce friction losses and drop high-speed engine revs.
- Drive Mode Selector: Steering-mounted
PWR(Power Mode) switch (Standard on 1.5 X, 1.5 H, 1.5 AV). - Start-Stop System: Perodua Eco Idle automatic engine stop/restart standard across all variants.
