DSG is a form of automatic gearbox developed by the Volkswagen group, so you'll see it offered across the VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda ranges.

It uses two clutches to change gears extremely quickly, making for imperceptible cog-swaps. The system is often accompanied by steering wheel paddles to change ratio manually.

How does a DSG transmission work?

The system uses two clutches to move up and down through the gears. As one clutch has the current gear engaged, the second clutch prepares the next gear for selection, significantly reducing shift times.

The driver can override the automatic selection of gears using the gearlever or paddles located behind the steering wheel, if they’re fitted.
