The tranny is similar to the one used on the Fusion and Escape, as per articles released worldwide. The dry-type DCT is not meant for engines with torque rating past 200Nm, as it is exclusively used for Ford's smaller engines.

For something like 1300-1400kg, the power and torque is just sweet. It's like putting a Camry's 2.5L engine on the chassis of an Altis but with more torque in lower rpms. I wonder how quick to 100kph this model can go. Honda's new Civic 1.5L turbo VTEC (CVT tranny) was tested by Car and Driver and it got 6.8 seconds from 0-60mph.
