Also, pretty sure that car would be quieter due to the sound deadening added for the diesel engine, would quiet everything inside the car at speed?
Diesel heads, any one?

That's the thing. Common rail units are quite a bit quieter than the older tech engines. The PD VW TDI's, namely the 1.9 were noisy and rougher than the later common rails, but smooth and quiet at speed and incredible reliable.
My Audi has a 7 speed gearbox so at motorway speeds, around 70, it goes into top gear, brining down the revs and the noise. That goes someway to help with their fuel economy, The shorter range first 4 gears help with acceleration.

High gears, it can ride the torque curve that diesels have

It can pull away in 4th gear if it has to, if you engage the winter mode in the settings, gives you an idea of the torque it has !
