Volkswagen Tiguan diesel models are available with different types of automatic transmissions. Depending on the model and year of manufacture, the following options may be available:
* 6-speed hydromechanical automatic transmission (automatic transmission): this type of transmission is the most common and reliable. It uses planetary gears and a hydraulic transformer for smooth gear shifting.
* 7-Speed Dual Clutch Gearbox (DSG): This type of gearbox provides faster and more economical shifts than traditional automatic transmissions. It uses two clutches, allowing you to pre-select the next gear while shifting into the current one.
* 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission (used in newer models): This type of transmission offers a high level of comfort and efficiency. It uses a torque converter and multi-stage design for smooth shifts and reduced fuel consumption.
The type of automatic transmission installed in a particular Tiguan with a diesel engine depends on the model, year of manufacture, market and equipment level. More detailed information can be found in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or from your Volkswagen dealer.
