4 MOTION

4MOTION gives you great grip on the road, come rain, wind or snow. So, however treacherous the road surface, you get a sure-footed car with huge levels of traction.
Volkswagen four-wheel drive systems work hard to keep you safe, linking with other active safety systems on your Volkswagen to constantly monitor driving conditions. It reacts to even the slightest wheel slip and automatically sends the right amount of power to the wheels with the most grip. The second it detects a problem, it delivers extra traction where it's needed.
As a driver, you get reassuring stability and optimum control. And the confidence that your Volkswagen can safely tackle the roughest roads and the worst weather conditions. That lets you relax and enjoy your drive, knowing that 4MOTION is always on the alert to keep you safe and help you out of tricky situations. It will take snow and ice, slippery roads and muddy tracks in its stride, and help you get out of places where a normal car would be stuck.

Split-second action.

All this happens in milliseconds,

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Manual transmission lets you take charge and use all the power of the engine for a positive response when you need it.
Volkswagen manual gearboxes are highly efficient and designed to add to your driving pleasure. Manual versions of their cars come with either 5 or 6-speed transmissions.

More gears mean less fuel

Their 5-speed gearbox is positive and easy to use, with the top gear reducing engine revs and therefore improving fuel

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Automatic transmission takes the hard work out of driving, especially when you're crawling along in heavy traffic or on long motorway hauls.
Automatic transmissions make driving easier by taking over the decision of when to change gear and leaving you to concentrate on the traffic and road conditions.
The automatic transmission automatically adapts to your driving style at any given time - from leisurely cruising to sporty performance - and also takes the road conditions into account. It not only reduces strain on the engine and transmission in stop-start traffic, but also reduces stress on the driver.

Built-in safety

The 'keylock' and 'shiftlock' functions of the automatic transmission provide extra safety. 'Keylock' stops the ignition key from being removed unless the gear selector lever is in the Park (P) position.

Volkswagen's Direct Shift Gearbox

Volkswagen’s Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) is the world’s first dual-clutch automated manual gearbox in a production car. This provides the driver the ease-of-drive of a car equipped with an automatic transmission, but the efficiency and flexibility of a manual transmission.

..ABOUT TRANSMISSION..

All the automobile now consists of a power source and a power transmission system. Both of them actually provides controlled application of the power.

The definitions of the transmission were defined by three:

1. Merriam Webster were defined that transmission as a setting-up of parts including the speed changing gears and the propeller shaft by which the power is transmitted from an engine to a live axle. Generally, transmission were simple defines as a gearbox which are provides speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
