Petrol engines with automatic transmission offer smooth and quiet acceleration, making them a popular choice for everyday city driving. Modern automatics respond quickly and pair well with small turbo petrol engines that deliver torque across a wide rev range. Maintenance is usually simpler than with diesel models because there is no DPF filter or EGR valve.
Check the vehicle’s service history and confirm that the automatic transmission oil has been changed at the recommended intervals. With turbo petrol engines, pay attention to oil consumption and the condition of the turbocharger. Check the timing chain or belt and make sure the gearbox shifts correctly through all gears during the test drive. Pay special attention to jerks when moving off from a standstill.
Petrol automatics are a highly sought-after combination in Montenegro, especially in the small and mid-size car segment for urban use. Popular models include VW Polo and Golf, Toyota Yaris and Corolla, Hyundai i10 and i20, and Renault Clio with the EDC transmission. Petrol prices are slightly higher than diesel, but for drivers covering up to 12,000 km per year this is often the more economical choice due to lower maintenance costs.
On older generations, automatics used 5–10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Modern automatics (DSG, ZF 8HP, CVT) often have the same or even lower consumption than manual versions thanks to optimized operation and more gears.
Classic planetary automatics (ZF, Aisin) are generally considered the most reliable. DSG gearboxes are more dynamic but require regular oil changes. CVT transmissions run quietly, but a test drive is essential to check the condition of the belt.
Regular engine service (oil, filters, spark plugs) costs 100–250 EUR. Automatic transmission service (oil and filter) usually costs 150–350 EUR and is recommended every 60,000–80,000 km.
