Skoda has tuned most of its range powertrain upgrades, with all new engines and transmission for the Yeti, Octavia and Superb models.

The Yeti crossover gets a new 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine from the Volkswagen Group that produces 122bhp and comes with a manual transmission and front-wheel-drive.

For the Yeti, the other new powertrain options available includes a 2.0-litre TDI CR DPF turbo diesel with 140bhp, front-wheel-drive and an automatic DSG transmission, as well as a more powerful version of the 2.0-litre TDI CR DPF turbo diesel that produces 170bhp, and comes with a manual transmission and all-wheel-drive.

Meanwhile, the Octavia gets the same 170bhp 2.0-litre TDI CR DPF turbo diesel unit that replaces the existing 2.0-litre TDI PD engine that gives out the same horsepower. This new engine on the Octavia comes with a choice of several transmissions, with both manual and DSG automatic options and front and four-wheel-drive versions.

And the flagship Superb luxury sedan and estate models is going to get a new 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine sourced from Skoda’s parent the Volkswagen Group. This new engine puts out 200bhp, and comes with a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
