SAIC Volkswagen To End Production Of Manual Transmission Vehicles In China By March 2023 | Carscoops carscoops
. It is unclear if this decision will affect the other two brands operated by the joint venture, Audi and Skoda. The former, though, currently only offers the A7L, the Q5 e-tron, and the Q6 in China, so not building any manual transmissions is unlikely to affect it.
China is hardly alone in its flagging interest in manual transmissions. The option has been rapidly disappearing from vehicles around the world as larger SUVs and crossovers take over from sedans and hatchbacks. Automatic transmissions have improved and technology has progressed, prompting the manual to lose significant market share.
Now, with the advent of mass-market electric vehicles and numerous jurisdictions planning for the end of internal combustion engines, the manual transmission’s fate seems set, in the long term. In the short term, though, a number of enthusiast-focused vehicles, like the VW Golf GTI, seem to have carved a niche for themselves around the world.
