Mid- and low-speed range punch is delivered by the fifth generation E-VGT turbocharger. The transmission choices are either a 6-speed manual or an Aisin 6-speed automatic gearbox.

The four-wheel drive system in the compact SUV features an intelligent torque on demand system that distributes power to the wheels that require it the most by sensing the road surface and driving conditions. Normally, all the power is sent to the front wheels only, but in conditions where traction is low or the surface is slippery it is diverted to all wheels. A lock mode comes into play below 25 mph (40 km/h) where it distributes power equally between the front and rear wheels to optimise traction.
