DS launches greener six-speed automatic gearbox on DS3

Date: 11 May 2015   |   Author: Daniel Puddicombe

DS has revealed a six-speed automatic gearbox for its DS3 model. DS said the gearbox allows smoother gearchanges and reduces CO2 emissions.

CO2 emissions are rated at 108g/km for the hatchback and 112g/km for the convertible version. In DStyle trim level, the hatchback is priced from £17,495, while the cabrio is priced from £19,495 in DStyle trim.

The new transmission saves 42g/km of CO2 compared to the previous generation VTi four-speed automatic gearbox.

Equipped with the PureTech 110 S&S engine and the new gearbox, the hatchback now achieves 60.1mpg, while convertible versions hit 57.6mpg.

The DS3 was the 31st most popular fleet car in 2014 with 11,684 registrations. It fell six places compared to 2013's result. Citroen - which is DS's parent company - was ninth largest fleet car maker in terms of volume in 2014, up one place on 2013's result.

Arnaud Leclerc is the deputy director general of PSA Peugeot Citroen and brand development director for DS, while Neil Moscrop is the brand director for Peugeot and Bek Hassan is brand director for Citroen and DS.

Brand directors are responsible for the sales & marketing operations of each brand.
