Making the choice between the Vito's manual and automatic transmission is purely a matter of taste. Both transmission systems are perfectly tailored to the available engine range. This is demonstrated by the enhanced agility and in-gear flexibility offered by the drive unit – plus the considerable power reserve.

The 4-cylinder CDI engines are equipped as standard with a 6-speed manual transmission in conjunction with the rear-wheel drive.

The V6 CDI engine and V6 petrol engine are available with a 5-speed automatic transmission, which is available as an option for the two more powerful 4-cylinder CDI engines.

Vehicles with optional all-wheel drive are available exclusively with automatic transmission.
