CLASS-EXCLUSIVE POWERSHIFT 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC

CLASS-EXCLUSIVE POWERSHIFT 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC

A game changer that provides the responsive performace of a manual combined with automatic convenience and better fuel efficiency.

The PowerShift automatic is like having two manual transmissions in one computer-controlled package. Shifting is accomplished by engaging one clutch while the other disengages to go between the two sets of gears.

  • Twin internal clutches (no torque converter) keep the gears in constant mesh
  • Dry clutch design does not require power-robbing fluid which saves weight and improves fuel efficiency
  • Clutches disengage when at a stop (neutral idle) to help improve fuel economy
  • Class-exclusive Hill Assist Feature helps prevent rolling back on steep hill when you start from a stop

The dual-clutch automatic has the responsive and connected feel of a manual. It is proven technology that can be found in many high-end sports cars such as Porsche, Ferrari and Bugatti.
