Gearbox: 6-Speed Manual / 6-Speed Automatic (Torque Converter)
The Scorpio N offers a choice between a slick-shifting 6-speed manual and a refined 6-speed torque converter automatic sourced from Aisin. The automatic transmission is particularly praised for its smooth shifts and "Zip, Zap, Zoom" drive modes that alter the gearbox logic.
Drive Type: RWD / 4WD (4XPLORER)
The Scorpio N comes standard with Rear Wheel Drive (RWD). The diesel variants offer the "4XPLORER" four-wheel-drive system, which includes a low-range transfer case and terrain modes (Snow, Sand, Mud, and Grass) for serious off-roading.
Clutch Type: Single Plate Dry Clutch
Manual variants use a traditional single-plate dry clutch. While the clutch travel is slightly on the longer side (typical for ladder-frame SUVs), it is light enough for city driving and provides good feedback for off-road maneuvers.
