AUTOMATIC GEARBOXES

There's no more need for the clutch pedal and changing gears using the gear stick! For a much more relaxed driving experience, vehicles from the Citroën automatic gearbox range will improve all your journeys.

Whether you want a city car, a hatchback, an MPV or SUV, the gearbox provides high-level comfort thanks to smooth and responsive gear changes. This transmission is also much more economical than a manual gearbox because it limits overconsumption by adapting ideally to each driving style.

What are the differences between an automatic and a manual gearbox?

From the driver's point of view, the main difference is the absence of the clutch pedal in cars with automatic gearboxes. As there is no gear change, once the car starts, the car does the rest.

How does an automatic gearbox work?

As the name implies, an automatic gearbox allows automatic gear shifting either by a hydraulic torque converter or with a robotised dual-clutch gearbox; as opposed to a manual gearbox which requires a clutch. it is therefore the transmission mode that differentiates them. the lever of an automatic car has fewer positions than a conventional gear lever.

the vehicles in the Citroën range are equipped with the eat6 gearbox (6 speeds) or the new bva eat8 (8-speed gearbox). the latter not only improves driving fluidity when shifting gears, but also allows for significant fuel savings.

Why choose an automatic car? 

Increased driving comfort

An automatic gearbox increases driving comfort on the road, especially in built-up areas. Indeed, traffic jams, red lights and other road signs force you to change gear and downshift regularly. With an automatic gearbox, there are no more unpleasant jerks for the driver and passengers.
