New TNGA Engine/Drivetrains, 2019 iM teasers, etc.

[Kalispel]

"Toyota Motor Corporation has developed a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) featuring a launch gear; a new 6-speed manual transmission; a new 2.0-liter engine with 40% thermal efficiency (41% in hybrid applications); a new 2.0-liter hybrid system; and new 4WD systems—one for gasoline-engined cars, one for hybrids—based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA)."

Also, teaser photo from Toyota of new TNGA 2019 iM/Auris, which will incorporate versions of this new tech. I think that it (& TNGA Corolla in 2020) will be getting the 2.0 liter 169hp version of the engine.

Toyota wants at least 80% of their vehicles globally to have this tech by 2023, & I'm guessing that the next-gen TNGA Yaris in 2021 will be sporting it in some form or fashion.
