The local arrival of 2011 model year Volkswagen Tiguan brings a
product enhancement to make a difference to the driving experience as well as owners’ wallets thanks to the
introduction of 7-speed DSG technology.
The entire Tiguan range can now be optioned with the acclaimed DSG technology (standard on 147TSI), replacing
the previously optional 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Volkswagen has introduced its latest version of the 7-speed DSG – first seen on the new Transporter,
Caravelle and Multivan range – this transmission uses a wet-plate clutch configuration.
The DSG gearbox has been ground-breaking for the Volkswagen brand in recent years with various models across
the Volkswagen range benefiting from this technology. It combines the comfort levels of a conventional automatic
gearbox with the efficiency of a manual box. The DSG is as economical as it is convenient, and opens up a new
dimension in gearshift agility. Gearshifts are performed within a few hundredths of a second, without any
interruption in traction. More consistently than any other automatic gearbox before it, the DSG is able to
combine aspects such as sustainability, sportiness and comfort. No other automatic gearbox operates so
efficiently, quickly and precisely.
