Gearbox Type: Single Speed Automatic
The vehicle uses a single-speed reduction gear transmission optimized for the high-RPM electric motor. It features a shift-by-wire toggle on the center console with modes for Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive, along with adjustable regenerative braking levels (L0 to L3).
Drive Type: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
The XEV 9e is a Rear-Wheel Drive vehicle, a departure from the traditional FWD setups seen in ICE SUVs like the XUV700. This layout improves steering feel and provides more balanced weight distribution (near 50:50), enhancing the SUV-Coupe’s handling dynamics.
