Does the Tharu transmission have a manual mode?

The Tharu transmission does have a manual mode. The Tharu equipped with a 1.4T engine uses a dry dual-clutch transmission, while the version with a 2.0T engine employs a wet dual-clutch transmission. The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission is relatively simple. Its structure is essentially the same as a manual transmission, except it has two sets of clutches—one controls the odd-numbered gears and the other manages the even-numbered gears. The Tharu is a compact SUV produced by SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height. The Tharu offers a choice between a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter version delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, while the 2.0-liter version produces up to 186 hp.
