The Tharu 2.0T model uses a DQ381 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission; the 1.4T model uses a DQ200 seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The Tharu is equipped with two engines in total: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter version has a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, while the 2.0-liter version has a maximum horsepower of 186 hp. The Tharu is a model from SAIC Volkswagen. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.

As a former owner of the Volkswagen Tharu, I've tried several versions, typically equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, models like the DSG DQ381 or DQ200, depending on the engine type such as 1.5T or 2.0T. The gear shifts are smooth, fuel-efficient in city traffic, with no noticeable jerking. However, regular maintenance like changing the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers is crucial to avoid potential noise or sluggish response due to aging. I've also driven a manual version test car, but the automatic one remains the mainstream choice. During rainy mountain drives, it quickly adapts to slope changes, proving more responsive than the traditional automatic transmission in my old car. In summary, when choosing a car, it's advisable to check the manual to confirm the model, ensuring the best match for engine performance.

I'm a car tech enthusiast and often research Volkswagen models. The Tharu's transmission uses the advanced 7-speed DSG dual-clutch model, with the DQ381 being mainstream or the DQ200 for lower-power engines. It's super efficient, with gear shifts completed in fractions of a second, making acceleration exhilarating, especially during overtaking with precise response. I've compared it to the manual version, and the automatic is more convenient for daily commuting, but on long descents, you need to use mode control to avoid overheating. For maintenance, I recommend using genuine fluids to prolong its lifespan. It's fuel-efficient on highway cruises, with an average consumption of 6-7L, which is quite practical. If you want to enhance your driving experience, choosing this transmission version is definitely a solid choice.

I just bought a Tharu and have been driving it for a month with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The gear shifting feels incredibly smooth. I didn’t pay much attention to the model, but I know it’s a Volkswagen DSG dual-clutch type. It doesn’t jerk when stopping and starting in city traffic, and handling red lights is effortless. The manual says it might be different with a manual version, but most people opt for automatic. Driving to and from work is made simple, and even occasional steep hills in mountainous areas aren’t a problem. Don’t neglect regular maintenance, and stick to the recommended oil change intervals. Simply put, it’s a worry-free choice.
