The XUV500 Automatic features a 2nd generation. AISIN sourced transmission with torque convertor and a planetary gear-train. With 6 gears the XUV500 has a higher number of gear ratios than a conventional 5 speed automatic. The new automatic transmission comes with an option of All Wheel Drive (W10 only) which ensures that the vehicle torque is suitably distributed between the wheels to provide the best traction on rugged or slippery roads, by sensing the difference in RPM between the front and rear wheels. The transmission is also capable of adapting to mid and high altitudes to enable best drivability in these conditions. The two uphill climbing modes allow the vehicle to take on slopes. Furthermore, it comes with a “creep function” to aid in slow moving traffic conditions, a manual mode is for those spirited drives, while the Automatic Transmission Fluid is filled for life.
