The gasoline model will be as powerful as the plug-in hybrid.
Skoda officially announced that the fourth-generation Octavia RS will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. It will feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is the first time it has been seen in the world. Although the Czech marque didn’t say much about the conventionally-powered models, it now knows that gasoline and diesel versions will be available shortly after the electrified “iV”.
Unofficial Skoda News channel has leaked a Skoda Austria internal marketing document to the Internet. It reveals that the Octavia RS will have a 2.0-liter TSI motor and 241 horsepower. This number is identical to the output of both the electrified and previous-gen Octavia RS TSI engines. You can choose between a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 7-speed automatic transmission for the gasoline-only model. The two- and three-pedal models will be available towards the end August.
According to the listing, the diesel-powered model has a 2.0 TDI engine with 197 horsepower and is exclusively linked to the seven speed DSG. It is not clear if there will be an all-wheel drive version. However, we hope that it will. The diesel Octavia RS will be available in conjunction with its gasoline sibling, and it is expected to go on sale late August.
These numbers compare to the new Golf GTI or GTD. This is what you should do. Slideshow leaked If it is believed, it shows that the outputs of both Skoda and VW models will be identical. The Golf GTI will be a hotter model, however. Version 296-hp TCR We haven’t heard of a beefier Octavia RS. Skoda Austria’s marketing team revealed that the plug-in hybrid model will be the first to hit market in June. This is why the company decided to bring only the PHEV model to Geneva next year. The electrified model will also include the entry-level model 1.0 TSI with 108 horsepower and a six speed manual transmission. A mild-hybrid version, which is connected to a sevenspeed DSG, will join the three-pot model. The plug-in hybrid Octavia iV will also be available at the start of June.
The RS models will be available together with an all-wheel drive 2.0 TSI Octavia, offering 197 hp, and a seven speed DSG. This model is our pick. A Octavia will be available with a 1.5-liter engine that is compatible with compressed natural gases (CNG). It will deliver 129 horsepower through a seven speed DSG.
