How to Use the S Gear in Volkswagen?

[GabrielleRose]

Volkswagen's S gear is typically used when high torque is needed, such as for climbing hills or quick overtaking. When the gear lever is in this position, all forward gears will automatically delay upshifts and advance downshifts based on engine load, individual driving style, and vehicle speed, making full use of the engine's power reserve to provide higher torque output and acceleration. Starting from 2015, the Volkswagen brand will gradually introduce a new engine torque-based rear badge system in the Chinese market. One of the core competitive advantages of Volkswagen's engine innovation technology is its torque performance. The TSI turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engine can generate greater torque without increasing engine displacement and maintain maximum torque output over a wide range of engine speeds, which better adapts to China's unique traffic conditions.
