I think that might be the same 8AT that I have in the Tiguan. It's a compact 6AT they shoved two additional gears into so it will hook up to an AWD system. There are two torque ratings for it. If I remember right, the Tiguan has a 380 lb ft rating. So those specs appear to line up with this application if it is in fact the same unit.
I like the gearbox. VW being VW tuned it to upshift and start in a higher gear for better efficiency. . But it's smooth and the shifts under full beans are quick and direct.
