I’ve never owned either car but from a generic standpoint I’ll assume the T6 is heavier, most likely has a bigger engine to account for the power increase? Those assumptions made its AWD, which means Awfully Weighty Drivetrain or Awfully wasteful Drivetrain 😂. I’m jesting of course but while the system will give more traction when required, it makes the car heavier and also drastically increases the transmission losses from the engine to the wheels. Power figures from manufacturers are at the engine, but the power figure that matters is what reaches the wheels.
So while the T6 may have more engine power it probably puts less on the road, and it’s heavier. A more accurate power comparison would be bhp @ wheels per tonne.
As I said I have no specific experience of either car but thems the physics so to speak. Hope that helps.
