Why does my 2018 A200 hatchback automatic jump like a manual?
Answered by CarsGuide

This model A200 uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is more or less a manual transmission with a robot to operate the clutch and gearshift for you. So, if it feels like a manual, that’s kind of because it is.
However, the transmission should never jump, jerk or thump into gears. If it does, that suggests there’s some problem within the gearbox, possibly worn clutch-packs which, like those of any manual transmission, can wear prematurely if the car has been abused or treated to patchy maintenance. A Mercedes-Benz dealer should be able to run an electronic check on the transmission to see if there’s any evidence of wear or damage.
