 CHOOSING an automatic gearbox will not just make your business driving less stressful it will also save you tax according to figures claimed by Citroen’s DS3 fitted with its new six-speed automatic.

The three-cylinder PureTech 110HP S&S engine mated with the new EAT6 auto claims to deliver improved CO2 emissions reduced by 42g/km. 

An average fuel consumption of 60.1mpg is claimed for hatchback models with CO2 emissions of 108g/km, which is just 1g/km more than it’s manual sibling the DS3 1.2-litre PureTech 110HP, which enjoys these company car fuel tax rates:

Percentage charge: 16%
BIK: £3,536
Tax payable at 20%: £707
Tax payable at 40%: £1,414

The four DS 3 models with this new EAT6 transmission are on sale now with first deliveries are scheduled for late June 2015.

An automatic choice

  • Gear shifts are 40% faster than the previous generation 4-speed automatic;
  • A smaller torque converter improves low engine speed operation and a wider gear-ratio range for improved pick-up and lower cruise engine speeds;
  • Improved fuel consumption of up to 60mpg and CO2 emissions of 108g/km.
