The release of diesel drives motivates those who want an Octavia5 with enhanced fuel economy and low road tax, to look at the diesel version 1,6 TDI.

Except for the “TDI” logo on the back and left, nothing testifies to the existence of a diesel engine in the Skoda Octavia5 we tested, which without a doubt aims for fuel economy. In the case of Octavia5, the engine of 1,6 l. easily copes with the family needs generated by the long body 4.569 mm. with his performance, while in addition to low consumption it also pays limited road taxes ( 107,1 euro). Nevertheless, however we do it there is an issue. And this is the 1,2 TSI petrol engine of 105 PS, so comparisons are inevitable. It is a fact that, the average consumption of the particular engine is 1,2 lt./100 km. higher and the resulting road taxes are 147,4 euro, but Octavia5 1,2 ΤSI costs 4.200 euros less (after discounts applicable to both models). If of course we are talking about the same Ambiente equipment version with which the diesel Octavia5 starts, because the 1,2 TSI starts from Comfort with which the difference reaches 5.650 euro. It is therefore obvious that a substantial benefit from the choice of the diesel version will have those whose driving menu includes many kilometers.
Motor- Performances: Saves gasoline!
THE 1,6 Octavia5 common rail turbodiesel wins impressions with its torque and fuel economy. Only at idle it sounds like a diesel, while there are also some vibrations that reach the leg. Otherwise, it's not sluggish at low revs, uploads with ease, it does not produce much noise and moves the Octavia5 very efficiently. In fact, in direct opposition to the version 1,2 TSI, the model we tested was only marginally faster at 0-100 km / h and obviously more willing to repeat (the edition 1,2 TSI has a 6-speed gearbox anyway). However, consumption is a basic quality and only reaches 4,5 lt./100 km. (CO2 emissions 119 g/km).
