DSG is what VW calls their dual clutch, in Audi speak I guess it is called S-Tronic. Same gearbox, used in both the Golf R and S3. Only change was six speed to seven speed. Interestingly they have had the seven speed in Europe for a few years. We are just getting it here now. |
Similar to how the R and S3 only have direct injection in the US, but both direct and port injection in the ROW. '18 R's also have more power 306 vs 292 in the ROW but stay the same in the US. EU Rs also have the Akropovic exhaust as an option.
Tl;dr Audi/VW USA sucks.
