BlueMotion Technologies
BlueMotion™ Technologies isn’t just a single technology, it’s a
range of innovations designed to help the environment and to help you

DSG – A definite shift for the better. DSG stands for Direct Shift
Gearbox. In essence, it gives you the convenience of an automatic with
the performance and efficiency of a manual. Here’s how it works. DSG is
managed by dual electronically controlled clutches, so not only do you
shift faster, you also get enhanced acceleration and reduced fuel
consumption. In fact, thanks to DSG, each shift takes less than 4/100ths
of a second. And if you’re the manual type, a quick flip of the Tiptronic
®
function lets you shift into something a little sportier. DSG can be found
in certain trim levels of the all-new Jetta, Golf family, Eos and CC.
