Gearbox Type: 6-Speed Manual / 6-Speed AMT
The XUV300 features a 6-speed transmission across all variants—a rarity in this segment where 5-speeds are common. The Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), branded as 'AutoShift', offers a creep function and electronic stability control specifically tuned for automatic gear changes.
Drive Type: FWD (Front-Wheel Drive)
The vehicle utilizes a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) layout. This configuration is standard for the X100 platform (shared with the SsangYong Tivoli), prioritizing fuel efficiency, interior floor space, and predictable handling for urban environments.
Clutch Type: Single Plate Dry Clutch
The manual variants employ a standard hydraulic single-plate dry clutch. The AMT variants use an electro-hydraulic actuator to manage the same clutch type, simulating a traditional automatic experience without the parasitic losses of a torque converter.
