Which version to choose

If the constraint is fuel and CO2 on the current cycle: 40 TDI quattro MHEV S tronic (from 2020-03-01). Versus restyling 2.0 S-tronic 190 hp it adds 14 hp (204 vs 190) at the same 400 Nm, 1968 cc, 1645 kg, 7-speed Robotic, and 58 l tank, and it is 0.6 s quicker (7.3 vs 7.9), 12 km/h faster at the top (232 vs 220), 0.4 l/100 km lower combined (4.8 vs 5.2), and 10 g/km lower CO2 (126 vs 136). Versus 2 generation 2.0 S-tronic 190 hp it is 0.5 s quicker than 7.8 s but uses 0.1 l/100 km less combined than that generation’s 4.9, with clearance not measured instead of 160 mm.

If the constraint is petrol 0–100 on the current cycle: 45 TFSI quattro MHEV S tronic 265 hp, 370 Nm, 5.8 s, 250 km/h. Versus restyling 2.0 S-tronic 245 hp it is 20 hp more, same 370 Nm and 1984 cc, 0.3 s quicker, 3 km/h faster, 15 kg heavier (1630 vs 1615), and 0.4 l/100 km thirstier combined (7.2 vs 6.8). Versus 2 generation 2.0 S-tronic 252 hp it is 13 hp more, 0.3 s quicker (5.8 vs 6.1), 4 km/h faster (250 vs 246), 50 kg heavier (1630 vs 1580), and 0.8 l/100 km higher combined (7.2 vs 6.4). Power per litre 133.6 vs 127.0.

If the constraint is the shortest 0–100 in the file: 50 TDI quattro tiptronic 286 hp, 620 Nm, 5.3 s, 250 km/h, sold 2019-05-01–2020-02-29. The MHEV twin 50 TDI quattro MHEV tiptronic (from 2020-03-01) matches 286 hp and 620 Nm but is 0.1 s slower, 55 kg heavier, 0.2 l/100 km higher combined (6.3 vs 6.1), and 5 g/km higher CO2 (165 vs 160). Versus 2 generation 3.0 AT 272 hp the non-MHEV 50 TDI is 14 hp and 20 Nm more, 0.2 s quicker, same 250 km/h, 50 kg lighter (1755 vs 1805), and 0.8 l/100 km higher combined (6.1 vs 5.3). Versus restyling 3.0 AT 231 hp it is 55 hp and 120 Nm more, 0.9 s quicker, 9 km/h faster, same 1755 kg kerb.

If the constraint is a six-cylinder diesel without the 286 hp pair: 2 generation 3.0 AT 272 hp (5.5 s, 600 Nm, 5.3 l/100 km combined) beats 2 generation 3.0 S-tronic 218 hp by 54 hp, 200 Nm, and 1.1 s, at 115 kg extra kerb and 0.2 l/100 km extra combined. 1 generation, restyling 3.0 S-tronic 245 hp is 6.2 s and 6.2 l/100 km — 0.7 s slower and 0.9 l/100 km thirstier than the 272 hp 3.0 AT. 1 generation 3.0 S-tronic 239 hp is 6.4 s and 7.1 l/100 km.

If the constraint is a manual gearbox: only 1 generation and 1 generation, restyling. Petrol 2.0 MT 225 hp and 2.0 S-tronic 225 hp share 6.7 s and 234 km/h; the Manual 6 is 40 kg lighter (1685 vs 1725). 2.0 MT 211 hp vs 2.0 S-tronic 211 hp (restyling): both 6.8 s / 230 km/h; manual kerb 1610 vs 1650 kg. Diesel 2.0 MT 190 hp is the quickest manual diesel: 7.6 s, 223 km/h, 40 kg lighter than 2.0 S-tronic 190 hp (1765 vs 1805). 2.0 MT 177 hp vs 2.0 S-tronic 177 hp: 8.2 vs 8.1 s, 215 vs 210 km/h, 1630 vs 1670 kg. 2.0 MT 150 hp is the slowest allroad in the file. On 1 generation, 2.0 MT 211 hp vs 2.0 S-tronic 211 hp: same 6.9 s / 230 km/h; the robot uses 0.4 l/100 km more combined (8.3 vs 7.9).

If the constraint is ground clearance: stay on 1 generation or 1 generation, restyling at 180 mm. 2 generation is 160 mm. Restyling 2 generation: not measured, so this article cannot claim a lift over the 2016–2019 cycle.

If the constraint is tank range (capacity only): 1 generation 64 l, then 61 l, then 58 l. Combined use on the smallest tank, 40 TDI quattro MHEV S tronic 4.8 l/100 km, is the lowest litres per 100 km in the file; the largest tank sits on the thirstiest petrol robot (8.3 l/100 km).

If two rows share a name: always split by hp and fuel. Restyling has two 2.0 S-tronic (190 Diesel / 245 Gasoline). 2 generation has four 2.0 S-tronic (249 and 252 Gasoline; 163 and 190 Diesel). 1 generation, restyling repeats 2.0 MT and 2.0 S-tronic and 2.0 AT at 211 and 225 hp, plus diesel 150/177/190. Two 50 TDI rows share 286 hp; they differ by MHEV badge, dates, 5.3 vs 5.4 s, and 1755 vs 1810 kg.

Problems and reliability are not measured in this dataset. What is measured is the spread: 150–286 hp, 5.3–9.7 s, 4.8–8.3 l/100 km combined where listed, AWD on every version, and a body that does not change name. Buy on those columns.
