As a driver, do you prefer sporty performance or relaxed cruising? Or is it a case of sometimes one, sometimes the other? Whichever driving style you prefer, the A-Class offers you smooth and easy gear changes. The AUTOTRONIC continuously variable automatic transmission, available as standard, recognises your personal driving style and adjusts the engine speed accordingly.
Thanks to the infinitely variable ratio, you accelerate without any interruption in tractive power, meaning that the engine can send its power to the front wheels continuously and, there fore, operate in the optimal range at all times. Things get decidedly sporty when manual mode is selecte d, since you can then change between several virtual gears by simply nudging the selector lever.
