Gearboxes

The 1.6 VTi 120 petrol engine comes with a 4-speed automatic gearbox that allows you to choose between the automated mode, which matches the gearshift speed to your driving style, and sequential mode; which allows you to change gears freely.
A responsive 5-speed manual gearbox comes with all the petrol and diesel engines on the New Citroën C3 with the exception of the e-HDi 115 Airdream.
The e-HDi 115 Airdream on board the New Citroën C3 comes with a responsive 6-speed manual gearbox for better fuel efficiency and acoustics when using the sixth gear.
The clutchless 5-speed gearbox is available with the New Citroën C3 VTi 95 petrol and e-HDi 70 Airdream diesel engine. The transmission shifts gear in automated or sequential mode, using the paddle controls on the steering wheel or the gear lever for a finely attuned drive.
