Does the Volkswagen Tharu have a manual transmission model?
2 Answers
The currently available Volkswagen Tharu models do not offer manual transmission. More information about the Volkswagen Tharu is as follows: 1. There are a total of 11 Tharu models on sale, featuring 2 engine displacements (1.4T and 2.0T) with only 1 transmission option - dual-clutch. The design characteristic of SAIC Volkswagen's 'Tu' series is its bold appearance, with rugged lines showcasing a tough temperament. The body also features a unique style with angular, straight, and sharp lines. 2. In terms of exterior design, the new Tharu appears more imposing and stable compared to the Tayron. The Tharu's square-shaped exterior design gives a sense of a rugged SUV. The front face boasts refined details, such as diamond-pattern chrome trim on the grille, independently designed turn signals, a concave tail design, chrome-trimmed exhaust tips, and a silver lower skid plate. The side profile features smooth and powerful lines. The sharp waistline extends to the taillights, creating a dynamic and crisp appearance when paired with the door line styling.
I remember when helping a friend pick a car recently, I specifically asked about the manual transmission option for the Volkswagen Tharu. After visiting several 4S stores, the salespeople directly stated that all current models are automatic, with no manual transmission available. They explained that SUVs like the Tharu are positioned for comfort and intelligent driving, and manual transmissions are basically phased out, replaced by DSG dual-clutch transmissions which are more fuel-efficient and smoother. Personally, I think automatic transmissions are indeed much more convenient in heavy city traffic, saving you from constantly pressing the clutch and shifting gears, which can be tiring. If you really want a manual transmission, you might have to look for older models or in the used car market, but new cars definitely won’t have them. It’s worth test-driving automatic transmissions more when choosing a car; once you get used to them, they can actually be safer and more efficient.
