Every day a new step is taken in the automobile industry. With the introduction of the first brain-soft cars, automatic transmissions came into play. Children who had admired the digital display of Fiat Tempra for a while grew up and started using electric cars that no longer even needed a transmission. With this development, Volkswagen takes new decisions. The facelifted new Volkswagen Golf, which will be introduced in 2024, will only have an automatic transmission. Here are the details on the subject…
Volkswagen is now ending manual transmission sales with Golf!
Volkswagen continues to take its steps towards electrification. In this context, the popular hatchback model can join the Golf electric family. There are also new make-up and 9th generation news for the Golf, which is expected to integrate with the ID model name. However, this renewal process will cost manual transmission versions of the Golf.
According to the information received, Volkswagen will make a similar make-up to the Golf 7 in the Golf 8 model. If you remember, Golf 7 was known with the Golf 7,5 safe code after the makeover process. Golf 8 will also be named Golf 8.5, with the makeover planned to be done in 2024. But this makeover will cost the Golf’s manual transmission.

After Volkswagen’s new makeover to the Golf model, it will be produced only with automatic transmission in order to both reduce costs and pave the way for electrification. So the last manual transmission Golfs will be sold by the end of 2023. In markets such as Turkey, manual is still a very popular transmission type that is especially sought after by users. In our country, manual transmission versions of some models are not already available with the decision of the distributor, and many users suffer from this problem.
It is also expected that the transmission trend, which will start with the Golf, will shift to other models. In the coming years, we will probably not see manual transmission in any model except the most affordable economical Volkswagen models. If it is in the commercial class (Crafter, Transporter, Caddy), it is not known whether such a situation will occur.
So what do you think about the manual transmission decision for Volkswagen Golf? Do you think it will cause a decrease in the sales numbers of the car? Let us know your opinions in the comments section. Don’t forget to turn on ShiftDelete.Net website notifications for more!
