Which is better multitronic or Tiptronic?

Having driven both, multitronic is continuously variable and thus very smooth, you really don’t feel any change of gears. Tiptronic has gotten better over the years but still you can feel it switching gears and accelerations are not as smooth, it feels more traditional.

What is Audi A4 multitronic gearbox?

Multitronic is a type of automatic, CVT gearbox that has been used by Audi for many years, after being launched by Audi in 1999. Multitronic uses a system of a link-plated chain drive, coupled with an oil-cooled multi-plate clutch and electronics.

What’s the difference between Multitronic and S tronic?

The theoretical efficency of multitronic running at peak thermal efficiency is compromised by the losses as the drive essentially relies on friction. The S-Tronic gets much closer to peak thermal efficiency by having so many gears that it seamlessly shuffles but relies on fixed cogs so friction wise is more efficient.
