The consumption and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission stands out for its high level of efficiency, ultra-smooth gear changing,
dynamic response and reduced noise levels.

down a gear manually using the additional shift paddle.
7G-TRONIC PLUS. This 7-speed automatic transmission
system combines a high level of driving comfort with
driving enjoyment and efficiency. The seven forward gears
provide a wide gear ratio range, but with small engine
speed step-ups between the individual gears. This leads to
ultra-fast gear changing with pleasantly smooth transitions.
As 7G-TRONIC PLUS can skip over individual gears, multiple
downshifts are possible, to give powerful spurts of speed.
The driving modes “Economy”, “Sport” and “Manual” allow
the style of changing – from economic to dynamic – to
be selected. Using the “Manual” mode, drivers wishing
to adopt a more sporty style of driving can change gear
manually via the DIRECT SELECT steering wheel shift
paddles – just as motorsport drivers do.
DIRECT SELECT. The DIRECT SELECT gearshift system
includes the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column,
with which the transmission can be changed between the
shift modes “P”, “R”, “N” and “D”. In addition to this, the
gear can be selected manually via the DIRECT SELECT
shift paddles.
