Gearbox Type: 6-Speed MT / 6-Speed AT (Aisin) / 6-Speed AMT
The 3XO introduces a sophisticated 3rd-generation Aisin 6-speed torque converter automatic for petrol models, replacing the older AMT. The diesel continues with a 6-speed Manual or a 6-speed 'AutoSHIFT+' AMT for those seeking efficiency with two-pedal convenience.
Drive Type: FWD (Front-Wheel Drive)
Built on the X100 platform, the 3XO utilizes a Front-Wheel Drive layout. This setup maximizes interior cabin space and provides predictable handling characteristics and better fuel efficiency compared to RWD configurations in this weight class.
Clutch Type: Single Plate Dry Clutch / Wet Clutch (Automatic)
Manual variants use a conventional single-plate dry clutch with hydraulic actuation for a light pedal feel. The Aisin Torque Converter uses a fluid coupling and internal wet multi-plate clutches for seamless, jerk-free gear transitions.
