I think that the XL1's DSG is not the same run-of-the-mill DSG found in other production cars, but is fine-tuned to help the XL1 be even more efficient. I'm thinking that the penalty is much less than 0.5hp and 20kg.

Still, for the average Joe, having a 20kg DSG may be better than having an 80kg hypermiler drive him around everywhere
