| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.4 Petrol | 2.5 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Toyota Camry) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Audi A6) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||

Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 19 years | 6 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Toyota RAV4, Toyota Previa | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A4, Audi A8 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Camry might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Audi A6 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Toyota Camry 2001 2.4 engine: A fairly robust engine, easy to maintain and spare parts are readily available. Not too sensitive to fuel quality. High oil consumption and relatively short chain life (around 170 000 km). | |||
