Most Popular Answers for Automatic Gearbox
I would like to know if TUV 300 will be available with AMT or with an automatic gearbox?

The TUV 300 would most probably get a 5-speed manual gearbox and the availability of AMT or an automatic gearbox has not been announced. The availability is questionable as no other car in the segment gets an automatic transmission. The TUV 300 would be powered by a m-Hawk80 turbocharged diesel engine, producing an approximate power value close to 80 BHP. The TUV 300 would be a full time 7 seater and the provision of ABS and EBD has not yet been disclosed. It will be launching near the festive season and the exact terminologies would be disclosed by the company at that time. It is expected to be priced around INR 7,00,000.
