Engines and gearboxes
Volkswagen’s ground-breaking engine and gearbox technology ensures exceptional performance. A choice of some of the
most innovative engines available means you can look forward to driving a car delivering the ultimate sporty drive, yet still
offering great fuel economy and environmental credentials.
Available as a five speed or six speed
manual, these gearboxes transmit
power with short, accurate shifts and
very smooth handling, making it easy
to drive at the right engine speed.
The dual clutch Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) represents a milestone in the development
of the latest gearbox technology. This innovative automatic gearbox from Volkswagen
shifts smoothly and imperceptibly into the pre-selected next gear. Such extremely short
reaction times and direct response behaviour make dynamic acceleration twice as
much fun. Depending on the engine specification, the six or seven speed gearbox is
not only highly dynamic, but also fuel efficient.
The combination of direct fuel injection and intelligent
turbocharging technology enables petrol engines with TSI
technology to work particularly efficiently, offering such
advantages as high performance, high torque and reduced
fuel consumption. The TSI engine features a sophisticated
turbocharger, resulting in excellent driveability and
performance throughout the range. The 1.4 litre 122 PS TSI
engine can accelerate the new Golf Plus to 62 mph in
10.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 121 mph, where
the law permits.
The TDI diesel engine with common rail technology is a highly
efficient and quiet combustion engine, combining exceptional
economy with impressive pulling power and smooth running.
The 2.0 litre 110 PS TDI engine is capable of achieving 55.4 mpg
on the Combined cycle, while producing only 134 g/km of CO
2
,
yet can accelerate the new Golf Plus to a top speed of 117 mph
where the law permits.
