Whats the difference between A160CDI and A180CDI

[wongl]

Does anyone know the difference between an A160CDI and an A180CDI? Both are first registered in 2010.

If I remember correctly its based on the same engine but with different performance and the A160 been super slow

Just to confirm I found the official brochure that I got late 2010 when we order my wifes A160 petrol. Both 160CDI and 180CDI are 1991cc but former has 82hp and latter 109hp at the same revs. Torque is also 190 compared with 250 Nm at about the same revs.
And performance 0-60 for former is 15.3 secs and latter 10.8.. Surpisingly the official economy for the A180CDI and A160CDI automatic is identical and only the A160CDI Blueefficiency which is manual is more economical
