The B-Max has just become available with the Powershift twin clutch automatic transmission, but this version is quite expensive (from £17,255). The Fiesta is about to get the Powershift too. The Mazda 2 1.2 Activematic has a four-speed torque converter automatic and is much cheaper, and so is the Hyundai i120 four-speed auto.
