How S tronic works

Smooth control with S tronic transmission

The revolutionary S tronic transmission combines the responsiveness of a manual gearbox with the convenience of an automatic. Thanks to innovative dual-clutch technology, S tronic can make a gear change in just 0.2 of a second, with no interruption to the power flow, allowing you to benefit as fully as possible from the engine’s output at all times. Depending on how you wish to drive, you can either allow gear-changes to take place automatically or, for a sportier driving style, operate the S tronic system using the gearshift or steering wheel shift-paddles.
