What does DSG in cars mean?

[DiReese]

DSG in cars stands for Direct Shift Gearbox, also known as a dual-clutch transmission, which allows for both manual and automatic shifting. The DSG is a manual transmission that provides automatic performance. Advantages of DSG in cars: 1. Fast shifting, offering an excellent driving experience; 2. High comfort; 3. Low fuel consumption; 4. When the higher gear is pre-selected, the upshift speed is extremely fast. Disadvantages of DSG in cars: 1. High cost; 2. Dry clutches generate too much heat, while wet clutches lack sufficient friction; 3. Long shifting time when the gear to be engaged is not pre-selected; 4. When paired with small-displacement engines, DSG may sometimes exhibit insufficient low-speed torque, resulting in slight shuddering during startup.
