New 2014 Octavia Spied!

[Jake02]

From Briskoda:

"New petrol engines being used: Chain driven, DOHC, aluminium construction
1.2 TSI - being dropped
1.4 TSI - reworked with 90kW/200 Nm (120hp/147lb/ft) - new 1.4 has been developed for use in smaller cars
1.4 TSI with ACT (active cylinder technology?) 103 kW/250Nm (138hp/184lb/ft) - new emission busting technology

Existing petrol engines being used:
1.8TSI - 132KW/250Nm (177hp/184lb/ft)
2.0TSI - could be used, but not allowed for now, restricted to the Superb.

Diesel engine
1.6 TDI - 2 flavours - 66 kW/230 Nm (88hp/170lb/ft) and 77 kW/250 Nm (103hp/184lb/ft). Octavia to use the larger one
2.0 TDI - several versions possible - but 2 versions so far is 110 kW/320 Nm (147hp/236lb/ft) and 135 kW/380Nm (181hp/280lb/ft)"

I'm really liking the sound of the 110 kW/320Nm 2.0TDI, let alone the 135 kW/380Nm version! Hopefully they piss the 1.6 TDI and 90kW 1.4 TSI off - efficient yes, but the Rapid will have them. Initially I think Australia will get the 103kW 1.4TSI, 132 kW 1.8TSI, the 110 kW 2.0TDI and I'm not sure what else. Carsales.com.au recently mentioned that the top-end models are to be put up against low end 3-series and A4s with high equipment levels and higher finishes so maybe that's what the 135 kW 2.0 TDI is for?

The new 1.6TDI and 1.4TSI engines are really at hte pointy end of things for fuel consumption... I reckon it'll be great to have octavia sized vehicles available that are so efficient they blow the hybrids away yet are...not hybrids
