What are the differences between Audi A6 40 and 45?
1 Answers
Audi A6 40 and 45 differ in terms of power performance, tire size, etc. Here are the specific details: Power Performance: Both the 40/45 models are equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, while the 55 model features a 4.0-liter V8 turbocharged gasoline engine, currently mainly used in the Audi A8L. The 40T, as the entry-level powertrain, offers a maximum output of 190 horsepower, 140 kW power, and 320 Nm torque. In contrast, the 45T provides a maximum output of 224 horsepower, 165 kW power, and 350 Nm torque. Additionally, the maximum torque RPM tuning differs between the two. The 40T ensures sufficient power for daily commuting, while the 45T offers more robust power assurance. Both models are paired with a 7DCT dual-clutch transmission. Despite the Audi A6L's large size, its fuel consumption ranges from 9-10L per 100 km. Tire Size and Wheel Design: As an entry-level model, the 40T comes with 225-55/R18 tires, and the base wheel features a somewhat plain 10-spoke design in a slightly white finish, which is relatively simple. The 45T/55T entry-level models share the same tire size as the 40T, but mid-to-high trims offer larger 245-45/R19 and 255-40/R20 tires with smoked black wheels. These upgrades significantly enhance both visual appeal and grip. However, the wider tires and lower aspect ratio inevitably lead to increased fuel consumption. Nevertheless, thanks to the improved grip, the mid-to-high trims of the 45T/55T deliver a superior driving experience.
