Fully automated - or fully manual? The choice is yours.
Take full control of your ride with the incredibly fun to
operate DSG from Volkswagen. It executes gear changes so smoothly and quickly,
you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. It’s a 6-speed gearbox that
combines the fun and low fuel consumption of a manual gearbox with the comfort
and convenience of an automatic. Imperceptibly fast, it executes gear changes
without any interruption in power.
Thanks to its dual-clutch design with two drive shafts, DSG
is remarkably more efficient than a conventional automatic transmission. Here’s
how it works: clutch 1 engages 1st, 3rd, 5th and reverse gear, while clutch 2
responsible for 2nd, 4th, and 6th gears. As the engine senses it’s time for a
gear change, one clutch opens within four hundredths of a second while the
other closes, resulting in the smoothest, most efficient gear changes you’ve
ever felt.
And if you’re more the manual type, the DSG’s Tiptronic
function lets you make imperceptibly fast gear changes on your own schedule.
