Gearbox Type: 6-Speed Automatic
The vehicle features a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Unlike the CVTs found in many Japanese competitors, this traditional torque-converter automatic provides a more engaging and direct feel during acceleration, particularly when using the "Sport" mode.
Drive Type: Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
The 2008 is a front-wheel-drive crossover, optimized for urban efficiency and weight reduction. It utilizes a well-tuned chassis that maintains European handling characteristics—firm enough for stability but compliant enough for local road imperfections.
