Gearbox: 8-Speed Automatic (PHEV) / 9-Speed Automatic (MHEV)
The P270e uses an 8-speed automatic transmission to manage its hybrid power, while the P250 uses a ZF 9-speed automatic transmission. The 9-speed unit is specifically designed for transverse engines, offering a wide ratio spread for better highway fuel economy and low-end crawl capability.
Drive Type: All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with Terrain Response 2
Standard on most trims is the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. It utilizes "Driveline Disconnect" technology to revert to FWD during steady cruising to save fuel. It also features Terrain Response 2, which automatically selects the best driving mode for conditions like Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand.
