Clutch and Manual Transaxle [C66M-R]
A newly developed, C6-type manual transaxle (SKYACTIV-MT) with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear has been adopted.
Automatic Transaxle [FW6A-EL, FW6AX-EL]
A newly developed, FW6A(X)-EL-type electronically controlled automatic transaxle (SKYACTIV-DRIVE) with 6 forward gears, 1 reverse gear, and a TCC mechanism has been adopted.
Using the existing automatic transaxle as a base, fuel economy improvement, direct feel, and smooth shifting have been thoroughly pursued to make one of the most optimized automatic transaxle.
With the adoption of a full range TCC mechanism, a contribution to low fuel consumption and the direct feel of a manual transaxle have been achieved.
A control valve body has been adopted with an integrated TCM and improved responsiveness to achieve smooth and precise shifting.
