I have a 2023 hybrid 1.6 with auto box and I think it is fine. No different to other makes that I've had in the past. I'm getting 56 mpg average over the first 6000 miles that I've done.

Yes, the autobox on my '22 plate 1.6 hybrid seems to be fine, although it does sometimes seem to hold on to a lower gear for too long. Other than that it has been faultless. Overall long term consumption is currently showing as 56.5 mpg but a recent brim-to-brim figure produced 59.4. No complaints there.
