Available with the New Leon's 2.0 TDI* engine, the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) breaks new ground in the science of power transmission. It combines the best characteristics of the two "shift and drive" worlds and eliminates the usual conflict between sportiness, convenience and economy. The thing that really sets this fully automatic, 6-speed gearbox apart is its ability to shift gears almost seamlessly and without interrupting the drive of the engine. This is achieved via the use of two wet clutches that handle alternate gears. It delivers transition-free and completely smooth acceleration from a standing start to top speed. Overtaking manoeuvres in particular become effortless to carry out. The DSG was not only designed for smoother gear changing, it also provides increased levels of fuel economy: the 2.0 TDI* consumes the same amount of fuel with a DSG as it does with a 6-speed manual gearbox: 5.6 litres/100 km total on average manual and 5.7 litres/100 km total on average DSG. * Complete with selective pump injector technology
