Volkswagen Golf can be equipped with several types of automatic transmissions:
* DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) – robotic gearbox with two clutches (wet or dry type). The dual-clutch transmission provides very fast and smooth gear changes.
* Automatic transmission (Automatic transmission with torque converter) – classic automatic transmission with torque converter. The automatic transmission provides smooth gear changes and high driving comfort.
* Tiptronic – automatic transmission with manual gear shift. Tiptronic combines the advantages of automatic and manual transmissions.
