2013 A6 2.0t

I think the perceived torque that Mohammed refers to is the result of the 8-speed auto transmission. 
 
I drove that box in a Chrysler 300 V6, a BMW X1 2.0t, in a Touareg diesel and numerous others German machines. Each time, I was amazed by its qualities : smooth and fast gearchanges, starts in 2nd normally but uses 1st if the throttle is floored, quick multiple downshifts, efficient on the highway, etc.
 
I won’t buy one, Honey and I are MT people, but it is a gem of transmission.

An 8-speed transmission?  Wow, was not aware of that.

Returned the loaner and got back the A4.  Definitely notice the lack of smoothness and NVH in the A4 as compared to the A6.  They've done a good job on the A6.  Will have to test drive a newer A4 to see how it matches up with an A6.


Thanks for the education and insights to all.
