The PEUGEOT 308 GT and 308 SW GT both feature a host of high-tech equipment, designed to deliver increased pleasure and comfort and to assist and enhance the driving experience - adding extra value to each moment spent on board.
The GT 180 comes with the EAT6 automatic gearbox, designed and developed in collaboration with Aisin AW. It uses Quickshift technology for rapid multiple gear changes.
Moreover, its energy efficiency is almost the same as that of a manual gearbox, thanks to a reduction in internal friction and the use of lockable torque converters whenever needed to avoid transmission slip.
This means the difference in emissions between manual and automatic has now been reduced to 5 g/km (iso mounted tires) - putting the EAT6 in an exceptionally favourable position in terms of both driver enjoyment and fuel consumption.
