THE NEW SIX-SPEED ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
The C4 HDi 110 DFPS and C4 Picasso 2.0i 143hp & 1.6HDi 110hp and 2.0HDi engines now come with a new cutting edge six-speed electronic gearbox system that delivers high levels of driving comfort and pleasure as well as enhancing fuel economy, with a range of innovative options. It’s a revolutionary alternative to normal manual and automatic gearboxes.
Choose between modes: in “manual”, you can change gear using either paddles by the steering wheel, or the sequential lever. In “automatic” mode the gearbox will control gear change for you, maximising your drive comfort and optimising fuel consumption – TO the order of 3 to 5% lower than a conventional manual gearbox, also helped by a sixth gear.

If you are up for a nippier drive you can also use the additional “sport” mode for responsiveness, and a “hill-start” mode will make up-hill starts more convenient.
With no need for a clutch pedal, and the chosen gear always displayed on the instrument panel, we have kept everything simple, giving you a high tech gearbox for a superb drive.
