The car is offered in 3 versions.
In the configuration, the Skoda Octavia A7 asset (base) is equipped with air conditioning, two airbags, and the steering wheel can be adjusted in two directions. Interior trim is made of Alcantara material.
By ordering the Ambitione modification, the owner of the A7 will receive climate control for two zones, a leather steering wheel, a parking brake and gear levers. An armrest appears between the seats of the first row, adjustable in length.
In the maximum configuration of the Skoda Octavia A7, Elegance, 8 speakers, a box under the front passenger seat, cruise control, driver's side support adjustment and leather interior are added. You can adjust the height of the headrests using the button on the end of the headrests.
Already in the basic version there is a multimedia screen, but only two lines can be displayed at the same time. It can be replaced by monitors with a diagonal of 5.8/8 inches.
Only in the Elegance package, the A7 car has a sofa with an armrest. Having paid extra, you can equip the liftback with 9 airbags.
Electronics and Security
We have already mentioned cruise control above. Other systems that make it easier to drive a car include a system that controls the movement of a car in a lane, a parking assistant (the car will park on its own, parallel / perpendicular to the roadway) and Start / Stop (the engine is turned off automatically if the duration of the stop exceeds a few seconds).
Electric power steering gives the steering wheel a heaviness if the Octavia is moving at high speeds, and removes it when moving at low speeds. The glove compartment of the car may have cooling.
The model is equipped with an intelligent system that allows you to control the high beam. Under certain conditions, this is done in auto mode. There is also a drive mode selection function. There are four of them. Thanks to this system, the driver adjusts the car's systems for himself. That is, the activation of the hidden functions of the Skoda Octavia A7 fl.
As soon as the driving mode changes, the operation of the power unit of the car, the headlight control system, gearbox, steering and climate control automatically change.
A knee pad appeared to protect the driver and airbags complemented the window curtains.
Distance control system, Front Assistant, works in tandem with adaptive cruise control. As soon as an emergency occurs on the road, it warns the driver. If he does not respond to the signal, there is an independent braking. This is very convenient when driving slowly, up to 30 km / h, in a traffic jam. Having detected a dangerous obstacle in front of the car, the system will immediately stop the liftback.
Lane Assistant is a new motion controller. If the car suddenly leaves the lane (the turn signal is not on), the system gives a warning signal. With the indifference of the driver, she herself will correct the course.
Let's say a few words about the system that recognizes driver fatigue. Driver Activity Assistant determines the degree of his fatigue by his manner of movement. If the driver is tired, the protective system is automatically activated: the seat belts are tightened, the sunroof is closed, the windows are raised. If an accident occurs, the Multi-Collision Braking system is activated. She brakes the liftback, preventing it from moving into the oncoming lane.
That's why the EuroNcap crash tests showed the car's high reliability. He received 5 stars.
Specifications
In the beginning, we will analyze the characteristics of the Skoda Octavia A7 1.6.
Skoda Octavia A7 can be equipped with a 1.6 mpi naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which has 4 cylinders, distributed “power” and 110 hp.

The first two power units are equipped with front-wheel drive models, the last one is an all-wheel drive car.
The units are paired with a 6-speed manual or a 7-band DSG automatic (two clutches). Owner reviews about the automatic transmission Skoda Octavia A7 1.6 are the most positive.
The volume of Skoda Octavia A7 oil ranges from 3.6-5.7 liters, depending on the engine. What oil is in the Skoda Octavia A7? All motors will go 5W-30/40.
The front suspension of all machines is a two-lever independent MacPherson strut layout. The design at the stern depends on the drive. For front-wheel drive cars, a semi-independent beam is used, for all-wheel drive cars - a multi-link system.
The difference between restyling and doreystyling
In the summer of 2016, the Skoda Octavia A7 underwent restyling. A two-liter engine was added to the engine lineup and the liftback was equipped with an adaptive DCC suspension. In autumn, Czech specialists changed the front part of the new Skoda Octavia A7 2017 model and increased the list of equipment for equipment. What is included:
- There were twin headlights;
- The radiator grille has changed;
- New bumpers were installed;
- LED headlights replaced bi-xenon optics (on top models);
- At the stern, the pattern of the lanterns has changed;
- The sizes of disks for Skoda Octavia A7 (R16, R18) and their design have increased.
After restyling, the Skoda Octavia A7 began to be offered in the Style package.
At the end of 2016, the public saw a sports modification of Octavia, RS, on which TSI 2.0 was installed, using AI-98 fuel. Econorms correspond to Euro 5/6. Mixed consumption of gasoline in the range of 5.1-7.5 l / 100 km. Engine power (150 "horses") allows you to accelerate the car to "hundreds" in 10.1 seconds. and develop a top speed of 210 km / h. The resource of the power unit is from 350 thousand km.
For the Skoda Octavia, the variety of engines to be fitted is awe-inspiring to anyone who encounters this world famous model for the first time. One of the most important characteristics of engines is their service life or reliability, as well as dynamic performance. Today we will talk about the power units that are installed on the Skoda Octavia, their features and voice the thoughts of the owners regarding each of the motors in the form of reviews.
Brief information
As already mentioned, the Skoda Octavia A7 engine line includes several power units at once - 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters. In addition to petrol versions, there are also several TDI powertrains that are less popular in our country.
The 1.2 TSI engine on the A7 has 105 horsepower. The manufacturer managed to achieve such an enviable figure through the use of a unique high-pressure boost technology.
Moreover, all cars equipped with a 1.2 engine have a start / stop system, so that even in the most active driving mode, fuel consumption will not exceed a critical mark of 5.2 liters.
The 1.4 turbo engine on the A7 has more power than the 1.2 - it packs an enviable 140 horsepower. But the fuel consumption here is somewhat higher - paired with a manual transmission, the figure is about 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, this indicator easily pays off with such indicators as: acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour and maximum speed, which are in no way inferior to the TDI version with similar indicators.
The 1.6 TSI engine is the only naturally aspirated model in the line that the A7 inherited from the previous generation. Despite the fact that the volume of this engine is much larger than the 1.2 TSI and 1.4 TSI, the 1.6 engine produces only 110 horsepower. However, the popularity of this version is explained by the extremely high reliability of this power unit and its long service life.
The 1.8 turbo engine is one of the supercharged options with high power and torque. So, unlike the previous generation, instead of 150 forces, 180 are observed here. The 2.0 TSI engine, unlike 1.8, has a power of 220 forces.
Economy versions
The power units supplied to the Skoda Octavia are highly publicized on the net and on thematic forums. This gave everyone interested in the reliability of the Skoda Octavia the opportunity to carefully study the reviews of the owners and draw the appropriate conclusions, which of the motors is more reliable and why.
The first and smallest motor has a volume of 1.2. Most of all, the owners of such a car are afraid of performance, insufficient turbine power and too little power.
Athanasius. Ownership - 1 year.
When I came to the car dealership for my Skoda, I was sure that I would take version 2.0TDI with manual transmission, which at that time seemed to me the most economical and reliable. The manager actively convinced me that it was the 1.2 turbo version, which has 105 hp paired with mechanics, that was the most successful option for me. Now that mySkodaOctavia with automatic transmission has traveled more than 50 thousand kilometers, I can say with confidence: for me it is much better than 2.0TDI.
There is enough traction for the eyes, and the consumption is more than 7 liters in the urban cycle, paired with automatic transmission - this is the norm for my car. The only question that caused me certain concerns was the technical stuffing itself: it was hard to believe that the 1.2 motor was capable of not failing for a long time. And so it turned out: at 20 thousand, the turbine whistled suspiciously, and then an error appeared on the instrument panel. As it turned out, the supercharger failed: they changed it under warranty and asked to refuel only with proven fuel in order to avoid problems with 1.2.
However, practice shows that supercharged small engines have a more complex device and a larger amount of electronic filling.
Owners of Skoda Octavia 1.4 with automatic transmission and manual transmission in their reviews often note that from replacement to replacement, you have to add engine oil more than once, which is frankly expensive.
Here is one review that might clear up this nebulous situation:
Andrey. Ownership - 2 years.
I have a Skoda Octavia with a 1.4 engineTSI 105 hp and automatic gearbox. In principle, the car suits me - the 1.4 has excellent traction, 105 forces is enough for the eyes, it does not fail either in the city or on the highway. The machine also behaves quite clearly: after the last car with a motorTDI 140 forces it seems that you are driving a car a class higher. The only possible trouble, as far as I understood from the reviews of the owners of cars 1.4, is the consumption of engine oil in excessively small volumes.
To check if 1.4 is validTSI eats oil on solid runs, I decided to wait until the run reaches the mark of 50 thousand kilometers. Imagine my surprise when my car 1.4 did not reach the next MOT. I had to top up, and at the same time check the oil level in the automatic gearbox: fortunately, I did not find such problems there.
Big displacement - big worries
While the small-displacement versions are just beginning to gain popularity, such a “dinosaur” for the Skoda Octavia, like the 1.6 TSI engine, judging by the reviews, managed to become one of the classic options installed on this car.
As noted, the MPI engine does not have a turbo, and therefore the 110 horsepower limit was the maximum for the MPI. Nevertheless, even on a car with automatic transmission, it was possible to achieve good dynamics, which is noted in the reviews of the owners of the 1.6 110 hp car themselves.
Eugene. Ownership - 2 years.
My previous car is A5MPI, like the current one, had a 1.6 engineTSI 110 hp. All the years that I was lucky enough to own a car with a 1.6 engineMPI, I can name one of the best. I confess, at first I considered the powerMPI of 110 forces is insufficient for a 1.6 engine, and even more so for pairing with an automatic transmission:MT for this motor considered a better choice.
However, in reality it turned out quite the opposite. 110 MPI forces are enough for me to overcome climbs and make sharp accelerations. At the same time, the machine behaves quite adequately and is perfectly integrated with the 1.6 MPI engine, for which 110 hp turned out to be more than enough.
The 1.8 turbo power unit, which does not have 110 horsepower, like MPI, but 150 horsepower on the A5 and 180 on the A7, is one of the flagships of the entire line. With adequate fuel consumption, the manufacturer managed to achieve optimal performance 1.8, which the owners of this car note in their reviews.
Alexander. Ownership - 2 years.
MySkodaOctavia 1.8 automatic transmission with 180 horses under the hood completely suits me. The point is not only that the automatic transmission here is robotic, therefore it provides the 1.8 turbo with the opportunity to deploy all its 180 forces and provide an opportunity to enjoy driving.
Main advantageSkodaOctavia 1.8 for 180 forces - low fuel consumption paired with good traction and torque. Even when working with automatic transmission 1.8 behaves acceptable, does not give failures and unexpected loss of power, as in some versionsTDI 140 hp.
The 2.0 engine on the A7 has only two modifications: a TDI with a capacity of 140 forces and a sports one, which no longer has 180, but 220 forces.
Artem. Ownership - 3 years.
MySkodaOctavia RS has a 2.0 engine. Arriving at a car dealership, I was sure that a 180-horsepower engine would be enough for me. However, after taking a test drive, I quickly realized that the 2.0 was the only right choice for me. Unlike version 2.0TDI, there is almost twice as much power and good torque. Moreover, the work of 2.0 paired with automatic transmission is beyond praise: I think that the versionMT of this configuration is useless.
Summing up
All presented versions of Skoda engines are worthy of attention and are interesting in their own way. This car model is attractive in that both those who need an economical car and those who crave speed and high dynamics can find the necessary version of the power unit for themselves: more powerful versions are extremely reliable and also have good potential.
This car won love and respect among car owners of all CIS countries. This is not surprising, because for many years it provides the most favorable ratio between prestige and price! So the new model Skoda Octavia A7 (we wrote about the previous one), there is no doubt that it will not shame its predecessors, because it has absorbed all the best and has become even a little better.
Reviews about Skoda Octavia:
Exterior:
- It is made in the best traditions of the Volkswagen Group. Smooth lines, deliberate modesty, successfully combined with style, charisma and solidity - this is the impression the new A7 makes. In profile, it is very similar to a sedan, the branded radiator grill has not gone away, a modest and solid feed is decorated with the same lights. Truly - "Simply brilliant!".
- The station wagon is less popular, but created according to the same principles - rationalism is at the head of the image.
- However, such formality may not be to everyone's liking. The classic and, to some extent, bland design will obviously not appeal to lovers of eccentric and stylish sports cars from Japan and France, although in terms of dynamics, Octavia can outperform many of them ...
Engines:
Traditionally for the German automotive industry, a wide range of power units is presented, among which there are both gasoline and diesel.
The 1.2-liter petrol tank opens the list. Despite the modest volume, its performance is impressive - thanks to the turbocharging, the engine power is 105 hp. s, and a torque of 175 Nm! Moreover, it is already available from 1400 rpm. It accelerates the car to hundreds in 10.3 seconds, which is very good for such a modest volume. Even with him at the crossroads, you won’t have to look at the feet of the leaders.
Next comes a turbocharged, 1.4-liter gasoline unit. It is even more powerful - 140 "horses" under the hood and as much as 250 Nm of thrust, which is available from 1500 rpm! Not all competitors can come close to such figures. Acceleration to hundreds in 8.4 seconds. impressive … This is ideal for the city and for the track.
Well, the 1.8TSI engine became the most powerful and fastest. This "beast" produces 180 hp. With. and has a diesel thrust of 250 Nm, and it is available from the very bottom - from 1250 rpm! 7.3 sec. up to 100 km/h! With it, you can leave behind all the assorted bullies at traffic lights. In addition, all these engines are not only powerful and high-torque, but also very economical - gasoline consumption does not exceed 6.4 liters when driving in a combined cycle.
The 2-liter, 143-horsepower turbodiesel also stands somewhat apart. It just has a huge torque of 320 Nm, and it produces maximum traction in the optimal operating range - from 1750 to 3000 rpm. At the same time, fuel consumption is surprisingly low - only 5 liters in the city-highway cycle. However, despite the fact that it consumes diesel fuel, with acceleration to a hundred in 8.9 seconds. such an engine will leave behind many "gasoline".
- The disadvantages of such power units include the complexity of the design and, as a result, the high cost of operation and repair, as well as the big risks when buying a car in the secondary market - Octavia A7 may require a serious application of hands and resources ...
Gearbox, suspension and drive:
With regard to the chassis, different versions have serious differences. The front suspension for all modifications is made according to the standard and time-tested McPherson scheme. As for the rear, the modification with the 1.8TSI engine has an independent multi-link. In all other cases, a torsion beam is installed at the rear. In principle, even the beam fully justifies itself in terms of handling, however, the presence of a top-end engine of 180 “horses” obliges ... Only front-wheel drive is available in pair with such a suspension.
With gearboxes, everything is also not easy. The car can be equipped with either “mechanics” or “automatic”, but this is not a traditional torque converter, but a preselective transmission that provides dynamics and economy that are not worse, and sometimes even better than with a “handle”. In addition, there are no shocks and pauses characteristic of a conventional automatic transmission when switching.
The number of gears in the manual transmission varies - if the weakest version with a 1.2 TSI engine has a 5-speed gearbox, then all other gasoline modifications are equipped with MT with 6 gears. What is most interesting - manual transmission is not provided for diesels at all.
DSG can also be different - petrol models are equipped with a 7-band gearbox, while only a 6-band is available for a turbodiesel.
- Such a variety of choices, of course, cannot but rejoice, but for the owner this abundance can turn into a considerable expense. If questions almost never arise for a manual transmission, then with regard to preselective transmissions, there are more than enough of them. When driving for a long time, the box heats up, jerks and jerks appear when switching from 2nd to 3rd gear. In addition, this type of gearbox is extremely expensive to repair due to the complexity of the design and relative novelty. Therefore, when purchasing a car with DSG, maintenance must be carried out exclusively at the dealer and not “fly off” the warranty.
Interior:
Salon is made in German soundly and efficiently. As in the exterior, officialdom prevails in the interior. The layout of the controls is thought out as if the car is made for each client individually - you can use the keys and dials with your eyes closed. The seats are very comfortable, the “tidy” reads perfectly, the steering wheel fits nicely in your hands, there is enough space in the back for three passengers, and you can take 568 liters of luggage on the way (1558 liters with the rear sofa unfolded!).
- However, the story with the appearance may repeat itself - many do not like such "dryness" and rigor in the interior of the "Czech". Many note that the word design is alien to the creators of Skoda. However, the design is an amateur.
Prices:
The price for this car starts from 589,900 rubles. That's how much they ask for the basic version with a 1.2 TSI engine and manual transmission. For DSG, you will have to pay from 647,900 rubles. A 1.4-liter modification will cost from 764,900 rubles. for manual transmission and from 804,900 rubles. for AT. The top motor costs from 839,900 rubles. for "mechanics" and from 879,900 for "automatic". The price tag for diesel - from 924,900 rubles
The Skoda Octavia is one of the legendary representatives of the C-class segment in Europe. Today it is one of the most successful sedans (liftbacks) that have ever been produced in the vastness of the Old World. The machine is delivered to almost all developed countries of the world, it is in demand even in places of sale unusual for European cars. With each generation, the car changed power plants, modified the technical component. This was the reason for a rather large line of units in the secondary market, as well as a huge selection of cars in the cabin. To date, the company uses the developments of Volkswagen, installing only the most advanced units in Skoda. So, let's look at the best Skoda Octavia engines, indicating the models in which they were used.
Interestingly, the corporation has a huge number of advantages that are hidden not only in engines. All vehicle systems are quite reliable and offer quality solutions. You can use the power plants for a long time and will not get any problems with the units. However, there are a number of misconceptions about this machine. There is a somewhat biased attitude towards not the most popular powerful engines and an excessive love for small units, which is not justified by anything. Therefore, it is much better to use not only public opinion, but also specific owner reviews about a particular car to find real opinions about the engine. This will help to understand if there are children's problems and other troubles with the power unit. Most likely, this way you can find a lot of advantages and disadvantages for each Skoda engine. Let's start with the main known facts.
Skoda Octavia Tour - 1.8 Turbo as the ideal engine
Under the hood of the first generation, which later became known as the Tour, at first there were only naturally aspirated MPI engines. But over time, the company got the opportunity to install a piped 1.8 Turbo unit. It was this Skoda that became one of the most reliable in this generation. The main features of the operation of this car make it possible to understand how hardy the unit is. There are several major advantages of the engine:
- larger volume than most units for this class, good throttle response and engine endurance, which increases its potential service life in a car;
- a turbine that works flawlessly, there are no problems with it even on very old cars that are poorly maintained and drive a lot of kilometers at enterprises;
- the simplest gearboxes in sets, they often buy cars on mechanics, there are not so many automatic machines on the market, a very reliable combination of the engine and gearbox in the Tour model;
- power of 150 and 180 horses, there are versions with all-wheel drive and raised ground clearance, which become real crossovers for owners, good equipment;
- consumption is not higher than on junior power plants, since the power allows you to drag the car without any problems and give it a reserve even in the most difficult situations on the track.
Cars with this engine were produced for a long time. For about 10 years they lived on the assembly line without much change. However, at one time this modification was one of the most expensive, so there are not so many Tour 1.8 Turbo representatives on the secondary market. Nevertheless, the engine is very reliable and interesting, which proves its use on the Volkswagen Passat, Bora, Golf and other models of the concern.
Skoda Octavia A5 - 2.0 FSI without a turbine, but with character
Another engine with 150 horses under the hood is a slightly forced aspirated FSI type with a volume of 2 liters. There are versions on the mechanics or on the machine, the machine is made with slight differences from its main rivals on the market. The car has good ground clearance and offers fairly large 16-inch wheels in the base. There are several important decisions in the configuration that distinguish the model. The engine features are as follows:
- power is not felt so strongly on the machine, but the 6-speed manual fully reveals the capabilities of the machine, there are a number of advantages in technical performance;
- the motor is hardy, a large volume gives it a huge advantage of a rather long service life, the resource is not limited to 500,000 km, even without a major overhaul;
- engine reliability is maintained even with not the highest quality of service, but it is better not to take risks with oils and other service details by buying recommended solutions;
- there is a danger that the car will require repair, but for this you need to try hard to destroy the technical details of the model in order to make it not so reliable;
- the engine is rather gluttonous, which is its only drawback, but in the highway mode, FSI shows its best side, reducing fuel consumption to a minimum.
Using already known technologies, Skoda has produced a revolutionary engine. It was installed on many models in 2006 and several subsequent years. Now cars with such a unit serve the owners without problems and difficulties. There are no childhood illnesses and breakdowns that would make you spend large sums of money. This unit has fully justified the purchase for many car owners.
Is the 1.6 MPI engine so good on the Skoda Octavia?
On all generations of the Octavia car, a 1.6 MPI power unit was installed. In many versions, it was the base unit. This is the simplest engine that Volkswagen has used for the entire passenger car range since 1998, when the unit was upgraded. The technologies were taken from the past, they were very reliable and brought real durability. But in Skoda, all this has taken on a different meaning:
- the company's specialists decided to experiment with a good engine, for the A5, this power unit was lightened, modernized and modified;
- after that, the power plant began to show problems that were not previously inherent in the model, in particular, the overhaul of the motor is practically impossible;
- the reduced fuel consumption is really pleasing - in urban mode you can drive 7.5-8 liters of fuel for 100 km, on the highway the consumption drops to 6 liters, which is very pleasing;
- all 105 horsepower are working for a more comfortable movement, the car shows good dynamics with all its insignificant power indicators;
- reliability is guaranteed up to 200,000 km, then problems may begin that should always be considered when buying a used car of this Skoda generation.
The new generation A7 also installs this powertrain as the cheapest option. It has been slightly modernized, received Russian production and has become even cheaper to sell. But its main characteristics have been preserved, as well as the main problems. You will not be able to repair this once very reliable and hardy German unit. When buying, it is worth remembering the limited resource of the car.
The best Skoda Octavia A7 engine - choose a diesel
Among the petrol units of the new generation Octavia there is not only the standard 1.6 MPI. A 1.4 TSI engine with an excellent turbine and 150 horsepower is introduced, there is also a 1.8 TSI with a potential of 180 horsepower. But the greatest attention of lovers of truly good technology is attracted by the 2.0 TDI engine with 143 horses. This is a very interesting diesel unit with the following features:
- the highest reliability, huge potential of the engine even in the most difficult conditions, which is rare for diesel power plants of the last years of development;
- very high potential and excellent power of the power unit, excellent technical capabilities of the car, good acceleration and excellent travel speed;
- equipping with a DSG box - a branded German robot from Volkswagen, which has become a legendary solution for fans of automatic machines that do not increase the fuel consumption of a car;
- diesel consumption is simply amazing - 6.4 liters is enough for a city trip, the consumption completely matches the passport one, less than 5 liters of fuel per 100 km is needed for the highway;
- it is very difficult to judge the reliability of the unit, since it is installed only on new models of the corporation, but according to the history of use on VW, there is a positive trend.
Cars with diesel installations have a certain wary attitude in our country. But more and more buyers choose for themselves this particular option, which turns out to be suitable in all respects. There is everything here that will help you enjoy and enjoy the operation of transport. Very little is known about the theoretical shortcomings of a car with a 2.0 TDI diesel unit, so you should wait for the reviews of numerous owners. We offer you to watch a video review of the car Skoda Octavia A7:
Summing up
Skoda Octavia cars in all generations were bestsellers in their class. This is one of the models that has received maximum advantages in comparison with competitors and has been able to sell incredible numbers for three generations. There is a tendency to increase demand for European cars, and Skoda is in one of the first places in this list. The main competitor for the brand is Renault, but the French C-class is very weak. So there are no alternatives to lovers of European technology, and this is one of the most important advantages when buying a vehicle.
It is worth recognizing that not all Octavia engines turned out to be really successful and of high quality. There are units that did not meet the expectations of the corporation and did not become the best in their segment. But even not the most successful options were much better than some other solutions of competitors. Whatever Skoda engine is under the hood of your car, with the help of good maintenance, you can achieve a very high quality of operation and the absence of any problems. And what power unit from this concern do you consider the best?
The 3rd generation Skoda Octavia (A7 body) was one of the first to receive the new MQB modular platform as a base. The car body is a light and rigid load-bearing structure, 26.2% made of ultra-high-strength steels. In Euro NCAP safety tests, the car confidently earned the maximum five stars.
The Skoda Octavia A7, whose sales began in 2013, is characterized by an abundance of modifications formed by various combinations of bodies, power units and transmissions. So, along with the classic versions of Skoda Octavia (liftback) and Skoda Octavia Combi (station wagon), there are off-road modifications (station wagon with increased ground clearance and all-wheel drive), as well as sports variations and Octavia Combi RS.
A new model from Skoda entered the Russian market exclusively with turbocharged engines. In the arsenal of a conventional liftback at the time of the start of sales were the following units:
- 1.2 TSI 105 HP, 175 Nm. Combined with 5MKPP or "robot" 7DSG.
- 1.4 TSI 140 HP, 250 Nm. It works in tandem with a 6-speed "mechanics" or a 7-band DSG.
- 1.8 TSI 180 HP, 250 Nm. A pair of gearboxes is the same as that of the 140-horsepower turbo engine.
- 2.0 TDI 143 HP, 320 Nm. The only diesel is aggregated with a 6-speed DSG robotic transmission.
