The 'Smartstream' branded engines will be paired with a choice between automatic and manual transmissions. The automatic options include a CVT for the petrol, 6-speed torque converter for the diesel and a 7-speed DCT for the 1.4-litre turbo petrol.

It also gets three drive modes (Normal, Eco and Sport) and terrain modes (Wet, Mud and Sand), that can be chosen by using a rotary knob positioned on the centre console.
