Only the T5 is AWD. Minor differences in co2 will be down to raised height/tyres/weight etc.

To be fair, the difference in the co2 emissions is quite minor, 99 versus 104.

Is it not the same ZF unit or are Volvo using the Aisin-Warner box seen in top end 8spd Lexus models. |

2015 V40 D4 190hp R Design
It was a toss-up for me between the V40 and V60, both in D4 R-Design Nav spec. In the end, I went for the V60 as I got a much better deal on that, which really narrowed the difference in price for the two models with the same equipment and options. Although the V60 has marginally less power, the torque output is the same, so I doubt whether it would be very noticeable in everyday driving.
I've seen quite a few reports praising the ZF 8-speed box used by BMW and other German makes. The way the transmission computer links to the navigation system to anticipate corners and inclines is pretty amazing. That said, I'm very happy with the Geartronic 8-speed box: its my first auto since a Mercedes 5-speed about 10 years ago, and the technology has really come on. The smoothness of the changes, the changes down under braking and the overall efficiency are very impressive. I particularly like the greater responsiveness and engine braking you get in Sport mode. I haven't really used the manual mode very much so far. Aisin-Warner displayed their gearboxes at the Paris Motor Show last month: they supply the Volvo unit, but have different 8-speed transmissions for FWD and RWD (Lexus). Cheers, Julian.

Certainly not a ZF unit. pretty sure it's Asin Warner. Will both be to the same design though. Of course Asin Warner may have tweaked the design a bit. Not much info on their web site.

With Audi, I've heard that if the navigation packs up the car shuts down until it's fixed though.
