Powertrains: choice of two efficient yet powerful TSI engines and three transmissions

› The three-cylinder 1.0 TSI produces 85 kW (115 PS)* while the four-cylinder EVO generation 1.5 TSI has an output of 110 kW (150 PS)*
› Six-speed manual gearbox as standard, six-speed automatic transmission and seven-speed DSG optional

Mladá Boleslav / Pune, 18 November 2021 – ŠKODA offers a choice of two efficient and powerful petrol engines for the new SLAVIA. Both meet the country’s stringent BS6 emission standards and transfer their power to the road via a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. For the 1.0 TSI with an output of 85 kW (115 PS)*, a six-speed automatic transmission is optional, while the top-of-the-range 1.5 TSI delivering 110 kW (150 PS)* can also be fitted with a seven-speed DSG.

The ŠKODA SLAVIA can be fitted with one of the advanced and efficient direct-injection TSI petrol engines, which offer both great performance and low fuel consumption. Even the entry-level three‑cylinder 1.0-litre TSI generates 85 kW (115 PS)*. Its maximum torque is 175 Nm*; power is transferred to the front wheels via a manual six-speed gearbox as standard. A six-speed automatic transmission is optional. The Stop/Start system is another standard feature, and contributes to low fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

The new ŠKODA SLAVIA’s top-end engine is a 1.5-litre TSI with a power output of 110 kW (150 PS)* and maximum torque of 250 Nm*. This unit comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, and can optionally be paired with a seven-speed DSG, which features gear ratios that offer both sportiness and comfort. Innovative technical measures effectively reduce this four cylinder, EVO-generation engine’s fuel consumption. The turbocharger features variable vane geometry, for example, which produces more torque at a wider range of engine speeds. Furthermore, the cylinder liners are plasma-coated with a thin layer that measures just 150 μm (0.15 mm). This replaces cast-iron liners in the cylinder crankcase, which reduces internal friction, lowering fuel consumption and emissions. Through better distribution and dissipation of heat in the combustion chamber, it also lowers the thermal load on the engine. The 1.5 TSI is equipped with active cylinder technology (ACT). When engine load is low, this system automatically – and virtually without the driver noticing – shuts down two cylinders, further reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
