There are many types of transmissions on the market today, but the Volkswagen-exclusive Tiptronic transmission is one of a kind. What is a Volkswagen Tiptronic transmission and how does it improve upon run-of-the-mill components? The Volkswagen Tiptronic transmission combines the best of both worlds, operating with both
automatic and manual modes at your command. Take a deeper look at the meaning of Tiptronic with %%di_name%%, and
try out a new VW model in %%di_city%% today!
What is a Tiptronic Transmission?
What is a Tiptronic transmission? Let’s start with the basics. The two main types of transmissions are manual and automatic. If you have a manual transmission, you must manually control every gear shift on the %%target_city_1%% roads. If you have an automatic transmission, the car takes care of the gear shifts for you.
However, the Volkswagen Tiptronic transmission contains both functions in one. It is a regular automatic transmission in its default mode, but you can activate paddle shifters to simulate a manual transmission. This allows you to enjoy the sporty feel of a manual without the hassle of using a clutch.
Can a Tiptronic Transmission Replace a Stick Shift?
Can a Tiptronic transmission replace a stick shift? The answer depends on your wants and needs for the road. If you love the control of a true manual transmission, we’d be happy to show you models that offer a traditional stick shift — like the
VW Jetta or
Golf GTI. If you appreciate flexibility on the %%target_city_2%% roads, you’ll love the versatility of the Tiptronic transmission. You can enjoy a manual feel when out and about in %%target_city_3%%, but you can easily slip into automatic mode when caught in bumper-to-bumper city traffic.
