Toyota Aqua Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2014–2021) — First Generation Restyling
The restyled first-generation Toyota Aqua is a compact five-door hybrid that makes everyday driving straightforward. If you’re considering a used example, understanding its transmission and the battery’s role will help you judge whether it suits your routine.
The 1.5 CVT is one example of the Toyota Aqua engine and drivetrain combination: a petrol engine works with an electric motor to drive the front wheels. Its variable transmission adjusts automatically, so you can move through traffic without changing gears or feeling conventional gear shifts.

In the 1.5 CVT, a metal hydride battery stores energy recovered during braking and supplies the electric motor when needed. You do not plug it in to recharge. Battery capacity alone tells you little about everyday fuel economy, which also depends on traffic, driving style and battery condition.
