Is DSG an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
DSG is an automatic transmission. DSG refers to Volkswagen's dual-clutch transmission, which differs from conventional semi-automatic transmission systems. It is based on a manual transmission rather than an automatic transmission and is also a member of the AMT family. The external form of DSG resembles that of an automatic transmission, with gear settings identical to those of an automatic transmission, but its internal structure features the gear mechanism of a manual transmission. Taking the Volkswagen Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are 4599mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, making it a compact car. In terms of appearance, the front face of the Volkswagen Lamando adopts a family-style design, with a three-bar grille connected to the headlights, and round fog lights positioned on either side of the bumper.
