Probably the gearing in the 6 speed is set for efficiency in the urban setting, or slower speeds rather than having a nice long 5th gear that sits at 1800rpm at 60mph.

This sounds very plausible @Scrabble

I do wonder if some of the Euro 6 emissions improvements have hindered performance on modern diesels. Sounds a bit gammony to suggest that, I have no evidence, just a thought. Wouldn't be surprised with some of the OEM behaviour.

Probably a conspiracy theory but with diesel gate Audi supposedly did an AdBlue recall which negatively effected performance. Although I think car forums are full of nutters haha
