The engine lineup obviously mirrors that of the new Golf. It starts off with a three-cylinder 1.0 TSI gasoline unit developing 110 hp and 200 Nm (148 lb-ft), which you can have with mild-hybrid tech. The four-cylinder 1.5 TSI is rated at 150 hp and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) and is also available in an electrified variant, with both carrying the “e-TEC” badge.

The quickest Octavia upon launch will be the version equipped with a DSG-only 2.0 TSI developing 190 hp and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft), which will be good for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 144 mph (232 km/h).

On the diesel side, the 2.0 TDI will be available with 116 hp, 150 hp, and 200 hp, with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG. Torque for the diesel can go as high as 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) for the all-wheel-drive model, which will complete the sprint in 7.1 seconds.

Then there’s the 1.5 TSI G-TEC, which is Skoda’s way of referring to the version developed to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). It uses a four-cylinder mill hooked up to a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG sending 130 hp and 200 Nm (148 lb-ft) to the wheels.

Much like the Superb iV and Golf GTE, the new Octavia will be offered with a plug-in hybrid system rated at a combined 204 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) courtesy of a 1.4 TSI gasoline engine and an electric motor. It’s been engineered to work with a six-speed DSG and a 13-kWh battery pack offering an electric range of 55 kilometers (34 miles) based on WLTP. Bear in mind that going for the PHEV model will have a negative impact on cargo volume, which will drop to 450 liters for the liftback and to 470 liters for the wagon.

The long-roof model will be the first to go on sale since it’s the more popular body style, with the liftback to follow a few weeks later. The rugged Scout and the sporty RS have already been confirmed for a 2020 release.
