Five-Speed Manual

Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT) with Auto Stick^®

The available Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT) is a great choice for those that want a more relaxed driving experience. CVT is free of the constraints of traditional fixed-ratio automatic transmissions. It can choose the best ratio for any driving condition, thereby operating at optimum efficiency and providing improved fuel economy and performance.

If you do however want to take the reigns, Auto Stick allows for either fully automatic shifting or driver-interactive manual control with six simulated stepped-gear ratios. Auto Stick allows you to maximise engine braking, control upshifts and downshifts, and add to overall driving performance.
