Off the line, the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW hits 100 km/h in 4.67 s versus 8.15 s for the C 220 d 4MATIC T-Modell All-Terrain. At this point, the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW leads by 3.48 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW is doing 141 km/h against 113 km/h for the C 220 d 4MATIC T-Modell All-Terrain. The gap is 1.68 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW crosses the line in 12.96 s versus 15.75 s. The 2.79 s gap represents roughly 104 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW finishes in 23.64 s versus 28.90 s, with a 5.26 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the A6 Avant TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the C 220 d 4MATIC T-Modell All-Terrain at 231 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.45 kg/hp vs 9.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.25 seconds. The 3.48 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
