The 7-speed DSG - Key Aspects
The intelligent automatic from Volkswagen
New dual clutch provides for even greater efficiency
7-speed DSG was designed for engines produced in high-volume at Volkswagen
Up to 20 percent lower fuel consumption compared to conventional converter automatics
The new 7-speed DSG, like its counterpart with six forward gears, is a pure Volkswagen development. First and foremost, in designing this intelligent automatic transmission the goal was to combine the convenience of a conventional automatic with the fuel efficiency and dynamics of a manual transmission.
