The A-Line sweeps in a usual five-speed auto transmission with Sportshift and 6-speed manual, Paddle shifters and a nice blipping control system that is quite effective to raise the revs of the engine in an automatic way. It follows Mitsubishi footsteps that offer Evolution to third pedal and double clutch gearbox.

It has almost everything of the normal manual version that jumps to the A-Line without its Brembo brake system. Instead of that, there is a 17” dual piston discs in the front and 16” at the back. While the other exteriors, aero items and SI-Drives are the same.
