Supported with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, it has super power to achieve the acceleration to 100km/h in only 8.9 seconds and the maximum bearable torque of 290N.m. Adopting BOSCH steel belts, it has greatly improved the transmission efficiency, which is as high as 92.5% and can save the fuel consumption by 7%.
