Not all of them. Only a select few. The Japanese that is.

The gearbox is an AW unit. A company that Toyota has some holding in and which supplies all Toyota Group automatics as far as I know. The model used by Volvo is used across many front wheel drive Toyota and Lexus car models. The in-line engine version is used by Audi in the Q7
