The new models have a 6 speed gearbox - and an improved engine rated to EU5 standard (*).
It's a rework of the previous 1560 cc, with 8 valves instead of 16.
Slightly higher torque and power output (+6 HP)
Peugeot had similar changes, but only added 2HP.
(*) Which is a bit silly as the 2005 models with DPF already complied with EU5, but were only rated EU4. The later Drive models consumed less fuel for tax reasons, but no longer complied with EU5 !
