Skoda Octavia and Superb SE Tech (pictured) models now with new PETROL engine options
Skoda is moving to offer more petrol engine options for fleet users with the arrival of new petrol-engined versions of the Octavia and Superb SE Tech models.
Just as parent VW adds new petrol engine options to the Tiguan and Passat, Skoda is playing the same game as diesels go out of favour, with new petrol options for the Octavia and Superb SE Tech models to tempt fleet buyers in.There’s now an Octavia Estate 1.0 TSI 115PS DSG which can deliver official economy of 65.7mpg and a 0-62mph of 10.2 seconds, and a BIK rate of 23 per cent, as well as the 150PS 1.4 TSI and, from later this month, a new 1.5 litre TSI with Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) with a manual gearbox (DSG later in the year).
The Superb SE Tech can now be had with the 150PS 1.4 litre TSI, which offers a reasonably lively 0-62mph of under 9.0 seconds, can be had as an estate or hatch and comes with leather and Alcantara and privacy glass.
Henry Williams, Skoda’s UK Fleet boss, said:
We have added petrol engines to the ŠKODA fleet range due to increasing demand from customers. Octavia and Superb already offer a formidable package and by adding even more choice we are demonstrating our commitment to respond to the changing market and the needs of our customers.
A very sensible move.
