Volkswagen Will Replace Six-Speed Tiptronic Transmission With New Eight-Speed Version. New Aisin Transmission Will Be Manufactured in Brazil and Promises Greater Energy Efficiency and Performance

Volkswagen is preparing a significant change for its cars in Brazil: the replacement of the six-speed Tiptronic transmission with the Aisin AQ300 model, which features eight speeds. This new transmission will be produced in Brazil by Aisin, reinforcing the brand’s strategy for energy efficiency and emissions reduction.

According to information released in India by the Autocar website, Volkswagen and Skoda are betting on this update to improve the performance of their vehicles and keep up with the growing demand for automatic cars, both in India and Brazil.

New Volkswagen Transmission Expected to Arrive in 2026

The innovation is expected to hit the Brazilian market in 2026, debuting in two new SUVs from the brand that will be manufactured at the Anchieta plant, equipped with the 1.5 TSI engine.

The transition to the Aisin AQ300 transmission will not be limited to the new SUVs. Models like Polo, Virtus, Nivus, T-Cross, Taos, and others are also expected to adopt the new eight-speed transmission, replacing the current Tiptronic gearbox. In India, the change will begin with the 1.0 TSI engine, which is also slated to receive the new gearbox in Brazil.

The local production of the Aisin AQ300 is a significant milestone, as today the automatic transmissions used in cars in Brazil are imported. Additionally, the transmission with more gears will provide a reduction in engine effort, improvement in fuel economy, lower emissions of pollutants, and, of course, better performance.

Automatic Car Market

This movement by Volkswagen reflects the advancement of the automatic car market, especially in Brazil, where manual transmissions are disappearing from compact SUVs, sedans, and even hatches. With the new transmission, Volkswagen promises to meet this trend and bring even more efficient models to consumers.

It is worth noting that Aisin is not exclusive to Volkswagen – Toyota, for example, has a stake in the company – which opens up the possibility for other brands to also use the domestically produced AQ300 transmission. Thus, Volkswagen’s change could represent a broader impact on the Brazilian automotive industry.
