Owner reviews

Great design. Big spacious salon. Excellent soundproofing. Just a huge and roomy trunk correct form. not bad ground clearance with PPD suspension (even comes in the base). Electronic systems help go even in the base. Good visibility. Salon without surplus, as they say, simple and boring, but I just like it - there is no surplus and cheap Chinese. The plastic of the torpedo is soft.

A high-torque engine that has not eaten a single gram of oil at the moment (it is confirmed on the forums that the 1.8 TSI no longer eats oil). Economical, on the highway it easily fit into 6 liters, and in the city an average of 9 liters. It is possible to disable auxiliary systems. Separate climate control. Various pockets and drawers. Heated washer nozzles are a very useful thing in winter.

The plastic on the doors is still hard, but it does not make noise and is pleasant to the eye, on the other hand, it is easier to wash it. Factory radio. The passenger seat in front is a little higher, this is not usual.

Video review

Reliability, good handling, comfort, fuel consumption, reasonable prices for spare parts and service.

On the downside: that's what the designers (or engineers, or marketers) of Skoda thought when they placed the filler neck for the washer fluid and the attachment point of the "poker" to hold the hood in one place?

Further, the aerodynamics of the body in the area of ​​​​the mirrors: five minutes of driving at a decent speed in rainy weather and that's it - nothing is visible in the mirrors, and on the glasses (namely in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe mirrors) there is a thick layer of dirt. The next moment is small fuel tank(about 45 liters). And finally, the rear beam.

Economical and high-torque engine. Roomy trunk.

Lottery collection. Doors don't close well. Radiator knock when going over bumps. Bad soundproofing. Strong rolls in corners and poor stability on the track. Frequent breakdowns rear suspension. Glitches Bolero in the cold.

Review of Skoda Octavia A7 1.4 mechanics 2014 onwards

Suspension moderately hard, constantly hurts back. With equipment, everything is good. Bixenon -theme, speakerphone - theme, heated seats. Pumped up the sound. Be sure to rustle the arches and doors, which I actually did.

For 6,500 km, I added 400 grams of oil - the verdict: eats little. The trunk is large — everything is clear here. The brakes are good, but God forbid you overheat. Everything is fine with DSG, only the sound when driving over bumps is like a bucket of bolts attached to the car.

Sound. Established system frank g ... about. The speakers are Made in China, apparently made from pressed monkey poop. I installed an active subwoofer under the seat and it fixed things a bit. This minus will not affect the owners of Canton - everything is in order with the speakers and sound.

Some elements of the interior look cheap. Saving on small things. There is no insulation under the hood, a gas stop for the hood, there were no floor mats in the car for 1 million! Kick me that I'm crazy, but there should be rugs!

Aleksey Dozhdev, drives a Skoda Octavia 1.8 (180 hp) automatic 2014

Where could I buy?

Particularly impressive 1.4 turbo engine, super dynamics! Trunk, handling, efficiency and cool dynamics. In general, there are solid pluses in the car ... And I would be happy and happy, but after almost a year, the question arose about “draining” this car into a trade-in due to the unreliable DSG 7 box.

Three clutch changes in 9 months! Mileage less than 30,000 km. Before buying, I read about the problems of this box, but so much so! This is the main disadvantage that covers a bunch of small jambs like bad noise, a howling kondeya compressor, poor body rigidity (when the car is on an uneven surface, the doors open / close poorly), glitches of the Bolero touch radio in wet weather (switches radio stations by itself, does not respond on pressing) and many others.

But these are all trifles, in comparison with the eternal breakdowns of one of the main components of the car - the gearbox.

Ilya Popov, review of Skoda Octavia 1.4 (140 hp) automatic transmission 2013

I compare with the previous Octavia. The car has become a little larger, the dynamics are the same, given that there is an automatic here. Eats an average of 1-1.5 liters less. Based on the reviews, I expected that this engine would burn oil. Fears were not justified. Three times pah. The trunk is just as big, but in the wagon it is much more practical.

Heavy trunk lid. If it is covered with snow, then it is hard to lift it to get the brush from the trunk. With this engine, there is a beam at the back. In winter sharp turns, at increased speed, the back tries to go into a skid. In the previous ones, there was an independent suspension, and the car entered the turns like it was on rails. Slightly stiff suspension. It's the shock absorbers.

There were many cars, but for the first time on the machine. Sensitive upshifts (from 1st to 2nd and then to 3rd speed) to a cold one were embarrassing, but as soon as the box warms up, the shocks disappear. Dealers said that's how automatics work. Now I'm used to it.

Review of Skoda Octavia 1.6 (110 hp) with automatic 2016

Engine 1.8 180 horses very impressed. Huge power reserve at any speed. Trips on the highway have become just a walk. Overtaking has become elementary - 3 seconds and that's it! Consumption on the highway is less than 7 liters at speeds of 130-150 and the air conditioner on, in the city - 10 liters.

Very comfortable box, in normal mode, in sports. Very soft shifting, fast response to the gas pedal. The stabilization system is generally fire!

The car is very stable on the road - 80 km / h is like a walk. Manageability is excellent. And, of course, the liftback body! Huge trunk! This is a great family car with the ability to dynamically ride.

Review of Skoda Octavia 1.8 (180 hp) with robot 2017 onwards

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 that 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, insipid design will obviously not appeal to lovers of eccentric and stylish sports cars from Japan and France, although in terms of dynamics, Octavia can give odds to 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... It perfect option for both city and highway.

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 for secondary market- Octavia A7 may require a serious application of hands and means ...

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 to manual transmission questions almost never arise, then with respect 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 third generation of the Skoda Octavia uses specially designed modern turbocharged petrol and diesel engines. The fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of the new powertrains have been reduced by 23% compared to their predecessors. In total, 8 engine versions are provided: four petrol TSI and four diesel TDI. In Russia, it was originally sold with three options for turbocharged gasoline engines (1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 liters) and one 2-liter diesel engine. However, later the modification with the junior 1.2 TSI engine was replaced by a modification with a naturally aspirated 1.6 MPI engine. Below are the characteristics of all 5 power units

Petrol engine 1.2 TSI (index CJZA)

The entry-level 1.2 TSI Green tec engine with Start/Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration has an output of 105 hp. with fuel consumption in the combined cycle of 5.2 l./100 km. The maximum torque of 175 Nm is maintained from 1400 to 4000 rpm. The emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is only 114 g/km. The engine can be operated with either a 5-speed mechanical box gears, or with a 7-speed DSG automatic.

Petrol engine 1.4 TSI (CHPA index)

The next in the lineup is the 1.4 TSI Green tec engine with 140 hp, capable of developing a maximum torque of 250 N * m at 1500-3500 rpm. It can be paired with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG. Fuel consumption when equipped with a manual transmission is only 5.5 l/100 km on the combined cycle.

Gasoline engine 1.6 MPI (CWVA index)

The only atmospheric power unit in the range of Skoda Octavia A7 engines. Significantly inferior to turbocharged engines in terms of power and peak torque, it also consumes more fuel. Maximum thrust of 110 hp supported by such a motor in a fairly narrow range of 5500-5800 rpm. Maximum torque is reached at 3800 rpm. More information about the 1.6 MPI 110 HP engine. see .

1.8 TSI petrol engine (CJSA index)

The most powerful petrol engine is the 1.8 TSI Green tec (180 hp) with 250 Nm of torque from 1250 to 5000 rpm. automatic transmission fuel consumption is 6.1 l/100 km.

Diesel engine 2.0 TDI

In Russia, the third generation Skoda Octavia comes with one option diesel engine with a volume of 2 liters and a power of 143 hp. Carbon dioxide emissions are just 119 g/km and fuel consumption is 5.1 l/100 km. The maximum torque of 320 Nm is achieved in the range of 1750-3000 rpm. The 2.0 TDI engine is also equipped with automatic transmission gears.

Summary table of characteristics of engines Skoda Octavia A7

Turbocharged petrol engines new Octavia belong to the EA211 series, developed Volkswagen Group. They have an in-line configuration with 4 cylinders. The main benefit of these powertrains is a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions through optimized thermal management.

The new engines are fundamentally different from the previous EA111 series. They have become more compact - the installation length has been reduced by 50 mm; the mounting system has also been optimized. Both the cylinder block itself and the crankshaft with connecting rods and pistons have significantly lost weight. The EA211 engine is cooled by a two-circuit system: the high-temperature circuit cools the engine itself, and the low-temperature circuit cools the cylinder head.

The EA288 diesel engines have also been substantially redesigned to be more fuel efficient than the previous generation. A number of components have been upgraded, including changes to exhaust system. The innovative thermal management system with separate circuits now allows the engine to warm up much faster, which is especially important in winter.

The novelty was introduced in December 2012. Thanks to the work of the chief designer of the project, Josef Kaban, the car managed to combine such important properties as a bright appearance and practicality, which all previous generations of Octavia were famous for.

If we compare the liftback body of the second and third generation, we get the following changes in overall dimensions:

Length 4659 (+90 mm.);

Width 1814 (+45 mm.);

Height 1476 (+14 mm.);

Wheelbase 2686 (+108 mm.);

Ground clearance 155 (-9 mm.);

Front track width 1549 (+8 mm.);

Rear track width 1520 (+6 mm.).

Trunk volume has also increased - up to 568/1558 liters for the liftback, up to 588/1718 liters for the station wagon (Comb).

In 2017 passed facelift Skoda Octavia A7, which resulted in some dimensions changed a little, so the length was increased to 4670 mm., And the width of the rear track began to have a value of 1540 mm. In addition, the headlights, taillights, front and rear bumper as well as the radiator grille. You can see comparative photos of pre-styling and restyling versions of Octavia. There is only one change in power units, the 2.0 TSI engine now has 230 hp, against 220 hp. on dorestyling. A car with a 1.8 TSI engine can now be selected with either front wheel drive, or with all-wheel drive, which is implemented thanks to the multi-plate clutch and its control unit. The interior changes at least.

Skoda Octavia III engines.

Dorestyling in the Russian Federation had a choice of 4 types power plants with gasoline fuel - this is one aspirated 1.6 MPI (mod. CWVA engine) with a power of 110 hp. at 5800 rpm and three turbocharged 1.4 TSI (CHPA and CZDA) with 140 and 150 hp. at 5000-6000 rpm, 1.8 TSI (CJSA; CJSB) with 180 hp at 5100-6200 rpm, as well as 2.0 TSI (CHHB) with a maximum power of 220 hp. at 4500-6200 rpm. Our diesel engine was represented by only one 2.0-liter turbo engine. TDI CR (CKFC; CRMB; CYKA) with a maximum output of 150 hp at 3500-4000 rpm. As I wrote above, with the advent of restyling, the 2.0 TSI installation added an additional 10 hp to the power.

The most popular engine for 2017 can be called the 1.4 TSI, which is the most optimal in terms of such aggregate characteristics as price, dynamics and efficiency. The engine is part of the EA211 series of power plants, which replaced the EA111 series. 1.4 TSI EA211, unlike its predecessor, has an aluminum block with cast iron liners, the cylinder diameter has been reduced by 2.0 mm. up to 74.5 mm.. Crankshaft became lighter, the piston stroke has a value of 80.0 mm. The cylinder head has 16 valves, two camshafts. Unlike 1.4 TSI EA111 an exhaust manifold, which is integrated into the cylinder head itself, has now become located at the back. On engine versions 140-150 hp phase shifters are located on both the intake and exhaust (not to be confused with the 122 hp version, on which the phase shifter is located only on the intake). A belt is used as a drive, the replacement interval of which is 70-90 thousand km.

From typical problems all gasoline engines can be noted the replacement of the thermostat in the early runs. It is not uncommon for the turbo actuator to fail. Until September 2014, this problem was solved by a complete replacement of the turbine, after which changes were made to the design and it became possible to replace the boost controller without replacing the turbine. 1.6 MPI engines are the simplest of all, but they also have problems - this is the failure of the air conditioning compressor, fuel pump, as well as increased oil consumption up to 0.5 l / 1000 km. You can read more about the 1.6 MPI engine in various modifications

Power plants 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TSI from the EA888 series have a timing chain drive. The maslozhor did not bypass these engines either, but the cases became isolated, unlike previous generations of these engines. Let me remind you that the main reason for the increased appetite of the previous generation 1.8-2.0 TSI engine for oil was coking drainage holes oil scraper rings. As a rule, the start of the coking process began at 50-60 thousand km, complete coking of the drainage rings was completed at 100-120 thousand km. The dealer in this case changes the pistons with drainage with greater productivity. On new 1.8-2.0-liter engines, zhor oil is found, judging by the specialized forums, but these cases are isolated. In general, it is considered that the most problem-free gasoline engines on the Skoda Octavia A7 are 1.8-liter.

The 2.0 TDI CR turbo diesel is also good. Sufficiently reliable and unpretentious unit. The only joint is the timing belt tensioner, which fails ahead of time and asks for a replacement on runs of 140-150 thousand km.

Transmission Skoda Octavia A7.

For 1.6 l engine. There are two options: 5-st. manual transmission and 6-st. automatic transmission. On engines 1.4 and 1.8 they are already putting 6-tbsp. Manual transmission or DSG-7. The manual transmission in both cases is considered very reliable, early wear of the bearings can be noted as nitpicking, which leads to a characteristic howl, but in general, nothing critical. Hydromechanical automatic transmission is also very reliable, but up to 120-150 thousand km. mileage may be a problem with the valve body. A lot has already been written about DSG7 (DQ200) and you can read about it and , but it must be added that compared to earlier versions robotic boxes of this model, by our time they have improved significantly and the percentage of breakdowns has significantly decreased ... although of course, in my opinion of an amateur, this is a bad option for the quiet operation of the car, especially if the car warranty is over.))) For restyling Skoda Octavia A7 2017 with a 1.8 TSI engine with all-wheel drive, as well as on the 2.0 TDI CR and 2.0 TSI, they install the DSG6 (DQ250), which is considered more reliable, the main thing is the timely oil change (an interval of 50-60 thousand km), to prevent slipping wheels and try to push less in traffic jams. Resource DSG-6 at correct operation can reach 200-250 thousand km. without opening.

Suspension Skoda Octavia A7.

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 excessive love for small aggregates, 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 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 an entire car. model range since 1998, when the unit was modernized. 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 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, overhaul the motor is practically impracticable;
• 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 Horse power work 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 gasoline units The new generation Octavia has 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:

• highest reliability, huge engine potential even in the most difficult conditions, which is rare for diesel power plants recent years developments;
• very high potential and excellent power of the power unit, excellent technical capabilities cars, good acceleration and excellent travel speed;
• equipment 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.

Vehicles with diesel plants 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. On the theoretical shortcomings of cars with diesel unit Very little is known about the 2.0 TDI, so it's worth waiting for feedback from numerous owners. We invite you to watch a video review Skoda car 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?
