Transmisson Variant

Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

The XTRONIC Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is an advanced automatic transmission system that replaces conventional fixed gears with a stepless, continuously adjustable gear ratio using two variable-diameter pulleys linked by a durable steel belt. It provides a wide ratio spread of 6.0–7.3, allowing smooth and responsive acceleration at low speeds while maintaining low engine RPM for improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise at high speeds. Designed for engines ranging from 1.5 L to 3.5 L, the XTRONIC CVT is compact, lightweight, and low-friction, enhancing driving comfort and overall vehicle efficiency. Its seamless operation delivers a smooth, efficient, and flexible driving experience, balancing performance and economy, though regular maintenance is necessary to ensure long-term durability and reliability. 

6-speed manual transmission

A 6-speed manual transmission is a mechanical gearbox featuring six forward gears and one reverse gear, designed to transmit engine power to the wheels efficiently. It offers gear ratios optimized for a balance of acceleration, fuel efficiency, and cruising comfort. Typically, it has a clutch-operated input, synchronizers for smooth gear shifts, and a compact, durable design suitable for engines ranging from small 1.0 L units to larger 3.5 L or more. Its lightweight and low-friction construction ensures reliability, direct power transfer, and an engaging driving experience.
