Model Year 20/21 What type of DSG I have?

I have a Cupra Formentor 1.5 TSI, model year 2021, with only front-wheel drive.
I don’t have a service book with options sticker and I also can’t find the options sticker in the trunk.

How can I know whether I have the DQ200 or the DQ381 gearbox?

DQ381 is used in conjunction with more powerful engines like 2.0s, as it is designed to cope with more torque. Lesser ones like 1.5 is combined with DQ200. I don't remember any exception to this but if you send your VIN to me via PM, then I'll get back to you with the definitive answer.

Heard the urban legend that Cupras are an exception, and DQ381 is in all of them (only VZ5 has DQ500)
