I have driven a 2ZR Avensis with a CVT. I was pretty impressed with its performance. I would never own one though. I doubt it would last more than 100,000 miles before it blew up. Probably costs £5000 to buy a new one from Toyota.

It has dry clutches and they dont work well seems like sliding clutches and hard shifting is almost standard with that 7speed DSG gearbox with code DQ200 which is rated for max 250nm.

The other DSG gearboxes with wet clutch like a MC is shifting very well and smooth
There is the old 6speed which is replaced with 7 speed now, so now they have 3 types of DSG gearboxes.
The 7 speed DQ200 with dry clutch you must avoid.
And two other 7 speed which is rated for higher torques than 250nm that has wet clutches, they shift very smooth if they are maintained with oil shift every 60000km-

I think the Toyota CVT is the only reliable CVT gearbox on the market.
There is Prius cabs in germany which has done more than 1million km with original engine and tranny.

But the main question is why four speeds. Come on. Move on Toyota. Move on

It was the 6-speed DSG in a TDI. It was fine on the highway but I found it kind of jerky in the city. It even stalled out several times. I thought there was something wrong with it but the dealer claimed it was working normally. However that was also the dealer's claim everytime something else was wrong with the car. So... Also the DSG required expensive dealer only service every 40K miles. The most problematic car I ever owned. I will never own another VW.

Ford double clutch automatic transmission

"double clutch" Ford automatics are having jerky problems.
(but why aren't we talking about RHD conversion?)

DSG's. Yet another solution to a problem that never existed before like CVT's or electronic handbrakes
