Gearbox Type: 5-Speed MT / 6-Speed MT / 6-Speed Torque Converter
The Basalt X provides three distinct transmission options to match its engine variants: a 5-speed manual for the 1.2L NA, a 6-speed manual for the Turbo, and a refined 6-speed torque converter automatic for the top-tier "Max" trims. The drivetrain is Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) across all variants. The automatic transmission includes a manual shift mode via the gear lever, though it lacks paddle shifters, focusing instead on smooth city cruising and highway efficiency.
