Transmission choices included 5-speed or 6-speed manual gearboxes alongside a 6-speed automatic supplied by Aisin. Interior equipment offered an infotainment screen, multi-zone air conditioning with rear ceiling vents, leatherette upholstery, a power sunroof, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and parking sensors. The Linmax was sold in China and exported to select South American and Middle Eastern countries.
