K410

TOYOTA K410 / K411 / K41A / K41B / XA-10LN

Aisin developed the “200” series (K210) of CVT transmissions in 2002. This gearbox was intended for cars with 1.0-1.3 liter engines. The K210 had been produced and installed on some Toyota cars for the domestic market of Japan before 2015.

Nevertheless, this series was not very successful – the CVT was larger than initially planned; it turned out to be not very convenient for underhood space of small cars. Therefore, in 2004, Aisin started

developing a new “400” series on the basis of the K210. The K410 modification was smaller in size, lighter weight, and had enhanced fuel economy in comparison with the “200” series. Toyota considered the K410 to be an ideal CVT solution for small cars with 1.0-1.3 liter engines. This transmission is still applied in numerous Toyota cars (including cars for the European market).
