CR review of 2014 A7 TDI
Yes, wrong forum but for those interested in the Q5 TDI be aware that CR says about the TDI engine..."its new 240-hp turbodiesel V6, which is possibly the nicest, perkiest, most unobtrusive diesel engine we've experienced. Besides having plenty of grunt, the A7 returned an average of 28 mpg, a fine showing for a car this size. A long cruising range -- 565 miles in mixed driving and close to 800 on the highway -- is another plus."

Compare the same engine Twin Turbo
xDrive35d (ccm 2993) BMW:
Max. output 230 kW (313 hp),torque 630 Nm, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds
Audi 3.0TDI(ccm 2967) :
Max. output 230 kW (313 hp) torque 650 Nm, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds
I think the differences are insignificant, it's just a matter of personal choice

I think the original comparison was between the 335d and the current US Q5 3.0 TDI (240hp). I can't dispute that the 335d engine might be better, but so far I am plenty pleased with the Q5 TDI.
Spijun, if we had stateside access to the 313hp SQ5 TDI, that would be a completely different story, and I would be driving that instead.

Compare the same engine BMW xDrive30d 190kW (258hp) with Audi 3.0TDI 180kW(245hp)
Comparable is the only same construction of engines
