Citroën has introduced a new six-speed, latest generation automatic transmission for the DS3 range of cars, which the company is trying to differentiate from the mainline Citroën brand.
Citroën claims that the use of the new EAT6 automatic gearbox gives 40% faster gear shifts than the previous generation 4-speed automatic and gives improved fuel economy.

Citroën claims that new PureTech 110 S&S EAT6 auto versions of the DS models also deliver improved CO2 emissions, down by more than 40g/km.
This new EAT6 auto gearbox is powered by a three-cylinder PureTech 110 turbo-charged petrol engine, which claims to produce high levels of torque from low engine revs. Citroën claims that gear shifts are faster and smoother with the system. They are claiming a fuel consumption figure of (60.1mpg) with a CO2 emissions rating of 108g/km.
They claim that gear shifts are 40% faster than the previous generation 4-speed automatic. This due to a new engine-transmission synchronised control strategy (Quick Shift) and a more efficient control unit.
