We all like it when things run smoothly. So Ford has used the very latest in gearbox technology to create Ford PowerShift – just one of the many new innovations that form Ford ECOnetic Technologies.
With Ford PowerShift, you benefit from all of the convenience that an automatic transmission offers, yet still enjoy the smoothness and driving performance normally associated with a manual. Featuring a new state-of-the-art six-speed automatic double-clutch transmission, it cleverly selects the next appropriate gear at exactly the right moment, delivering lightning-fast gear changes with no disruption to the flow of power.
As well as being more responsive, Ford PowerShift offers significantly improved fuel economy compared to a conventional automatic. There are also three gear modes to choose from; Automatic, Automatic Sport and for those who prefer manual transmissions, a Manual Sport mode. This allows you to switch gears at the flick of the gearshift but without the need to engage a clutch pedal.
