As of now, the XUV700’s automatic variants begin with the one-above-base AX3 variant. Offering an automatic transmission with the base model will make the two-pedal setup more affordable. This automatic transmission, most likely a 6-speed torque converter, will be available with the 2-litre turbo-petrol engine (200 PS/380 Nm), but not the 2.2-litre diesel engine.
