Gearbox Type: 5-Speed Manual / AMT
The Punch offers a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, known for its short-throw shifts. The optional 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) features "Traction Pro" mode, an industry-first in this segment, which helps the vehicle navigate through mud or low-traction surfaces by managing torque delivery to the wheels.
Drive Type: FWD
The vehicle utilizes a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) layout. This configuration maximizes interior cabin space by eliminating a central transmission tunnel and improves fuel efficiency due to lower drivetrain power losses compared to RWD or AWD systems.
Clutch Type: Single Plate Dry Clutch
The manual variants use a conventional single-plate dry friction clutch. The pedal effort is calibrated for city traffic, featuring a light action that reduces driver fatigue during stop-and-go scenarios.
