Is the Volkswagen Jetta automatic or manual transmission?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Jetta is available in both automatic and manual transmissions. Automatic transmission: The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Manual transmission: A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. Volkswagen Jetta: The Jetta is a car brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first model, the Jetta, was launched in Europe in 1979.
I remember the Volkswagen Jetta has always been quite flexible in China, offering both manual and automatic transmission options. The older Jetta models mainly featured a 5-speed manual transmission, which provided a great sense of control while driving. However, the newer Jetta SUV models like the VS5 and VS7 are mostly dominated by automatic transmissions, equipped with the Aisin 6AT gearbox, making them easy and smooth to drive. If you particularly enjoy the mechanical feel of shifting gears, you might need to specifically inquire about the inventory of manual transmission versions at the dealership. I think it's best to check the specific model year configuration sheet before buying a car, or directly ask the 4S store salesperson for more reliable information.
