The Audi A6 2.0 CVT is looked at here through regular commuting: the short, repeated journeys that, more than any occasional long trip, shape how an owner comes to judge a car.

Diesel
Transmission
Variable
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
Not provided
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1968 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
Not provided
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
140 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
103 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Most commuting happens at low and moderate speeds, with frequent stops, so many drivers care more about smooth, predictable progress in traffic than about outright pace. What counts as enough depends heavily on the route and on personal habit.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
A commute is repeated so often that the controls turn into muscle memory, and being able to reach a stalk or switch without looking keeps attention on the road ahead. Layouts that stay consistent are simply quicker to learn.
Body and Practicality
A daily routine tends to collect small errands, so a work bag or a couple of shopping bags need somewhere settled to sit rather than sliding about. Load space that can be reached easily from the kerb makes those stops less of an interruption.
