They look impressive and are fuel-efficient: the best cars with automatic transmission are named

The choice of transmission depends primarily on personal preference. However, those cars with automatic one demonstrate clear advantages over their manual rivals, especially when it comes to performance and efficiency.

What Car experts have compiled a rating of the best cars with automatic transmission. The rating is quite wide, ranging from small budget to luxury cars.

BMW 4 Series

The best version, the 420i, has a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 181 hp and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The gearbox not only adds to the sporty driving experience with its extremely smooth shifting but also provides a smooth ride in the city.

Porsche 718 Cayman

The manual version of the Porsche Cayman GTS is hard to beat when it comes to thrills. However, the seven-speed PDK automatic transmission of the GTS is also a great alternative for driving pleasure and everyday comfort. In the GTS, for example, the shifts are so quick that they actually increase performance (0 to 60 km takes 5.3 seconds with the manual transmission and 4.9 seconds with the PDK).

BMW 3 Series

The BMW 3 Series is a sporty, practical and well-equipped executive car. The 330e plug-in hybrid version offers lively performance - 100 km/h takes 5.8 seconds - and very smooth transitions between the engine and electric motor. The eight-speed automatic transmission only adds to the refinement by smoothly shifting gears when you step on the accelerator.

Honda Civic

The automatic transmission in the Honda Civic hybrid is unlike any other on this list. The Civic has only one forward gear, which means that the hybrid system only has to shift between the electric motor and the engine to get the wheels moving. Another benefit of the Civic's hybrid system includes impressive real-world fuel economy.

Porsche Cayenne S

The Porsche Cayenne is a sporty SUV with a 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engine with 468 hp and an eight-speed automatic transmission, which together deliver incredible performance in a straight line. The S can reach 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds (or 4.4 seconds with the optional Sports Chrono package).

Honda Jazz

If you're looking for a small car with an automatic transmission, the Honda Jazz is the best choice. It's a hybrid and it runs mostly on electricity at low speeds. The CVT transmission maintains high engine speeds when accelerating, but it is still quieter than the CVT in the Toyota Yaris.

Mercedes GLC 300e

The Mercedes GLC 300e with a long official electric-only range is one of the best hybrids you can buy. The GLC 300e is quite fast (it takes 6.7 seconds to reach 100 km/h), practical and comfortable. The car has a nine-speed automatic transmission. At low speeds, the electric motor helps the gearbox and engine provide instant power, and at high speeds, the gearbox stays in the highest gears to help improve fuel economy.

Hyundai Santa Fe

The Santa Fe hybrid continues to be a 7-seater that is well suited for city driving. The system itself is also very advanced, and this is helped by the eight-speed automatic transmission. At high speeds, the smoothness is also generally very good, with low wind and road noise.

Range Rover Sport

The D300 version is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers effortless performance, as well as a firmer yet more flexible air suspension. The Range Rover Sport offers a luxurious driving experience. Road noise is minimized and the engines are incredibly quiet.

Toyota Corolla Touring Sports

The CVT transmission maintains low and constant engine speeds while driving, resulting in better fuel efficiency, and has fewer moving parts than a traditional automatic transmission, which increases reliability. The Touring Sports is one of the most efficient station wagons you can buy.
