The four-speed automatic transmission includes a Hold Control mode with adaptive shift control logic. The Hold Control helps reduce wheel spin and offers extra traction as road conditions change. The base models are available with a five-speed manual transmission. A 12-volt auxiliary outlet is standard, while the CD/MP3 player is an option.
