EAT6 - standing for 'Efficient Automatic Transmission' - is Peugeot's own transmission technology. The six speed gearbox on this 1.2 litre engine is based around Peugeot's tried and tested electronics behind the scene doing the work of an automatic box. The driver can either choose to drive the 2008 using manual mode (but without a clutch pedal), or use the car's robotic clutch to let the car's Electronic Control Unit undertake all the work for them.

With the 1.2 Puretech engine the driver can switch between manual and full automatic mode at any time they like: giving plenty of flexibility, lower CO2 emissions and lower levels of fuel consumption. The Stop & Start technology also improves fuel efficiency as the engine switches off when idling, and the EAT6 option is beautifully smooth shifting in real life use.

Prices vary based on the 2008 automatic variant chosen: choosing the EAT6 engine in the Active will set you back from £18.5k upwards, while the Allure will cost upwards of £20k, typically around £1,300 more than the enquivalent manual version.
