What brand of transmission does the Volkswagen Bora use?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Bora uses the Japanese Aisin AQ250 six-speed transmission, which is a manual-automatic integrated model. The Bora is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen and is hailed as a new car that inherits and surpasses the classics. The new Volkswagen Bora has a length of 4523mm, a width of 1775mm, a height of 1467mm, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The new Bora is equipped with 1.6L and 1.4T engines, matched with three types of transmissions: 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual-automatic, and 7-speed DSG. Among them, the 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 96kw and a maximum torque of 220nm; the 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 77kw and a maximum torque of 155nm.
As someone who has driven a Volkswagen Bora for five years, I know its transmission is usually Volkswagen's own brand, especially the DSG dual-clutch transmission. This transmission shifts particularly quickly in city driving, saving fuel and providing smooth performance without any noticeable jerkiness. I've always felt that Volkswagen's original transmissions are highly reliable and quite simple to maintain—just having the mechanic check the fluid during each service is usually sufficient. Some higher-end models might use Aisin technology, but most Boras come with Volkswagen's standard transmission. After driving it for so long, I've never had to worry about the transmission—it's been very hassle-free. For daily use, I recommend regular inspections and avoiding aggressive driving to extend its lifespan, making it a great value for money.
