Traditional body style has advantages
In this section ‘practical consumption’ we already saw the necessary A-segmenters, B-segmenters, SUVs and crossovers. This week we look at the consumption of the Skoda Octavia, where you can choose between two traditional body styles. We look at the model that was delivered from 2013 to 2020, after which the new model appeared. How economical is the Octavia? We find the answer with the AutoWeek Consumption Monitor!
The Skoda Octavia was and is available as a liftback and as a station wagon, which is called Combi. Both variants can be combined with a number of petrol and diesel engines. In 2017, the Octavia underwent a striking facelift, after which the smallest engine is no longer the 1.2 TSI, but a three-cylinder 1.0 TSI. The most powerful Octavia is the RS, whose 2.0 TSI delivers 245 hp. We do not find any values ​​for this car in the Consumption Monitor, but there are some data from the older 2.0 TDI RS.
Consumption of Octavia diesel
The most economical version of Skoda’s Octavia is indisputably the 1.6 TDI. With this 110 hp variant, one drives an average of 1 to 20.4. The economy award goes to the driver of a dark red Octavia Greenline Businessline with a sporty set of wheels. The car has been owned since 2018 and consumed only 4.04 l / 100 km over the past 87,000 kilometers. That’s 1 in 24.8!
The consumption of the 2.0 TDI is an average of 5.6 l / 100 km, or 1 in 18. That picture is slightly distorted by three owners with a 184 hp Octavia RS. In the least favorable case, an owner drives more than 60,000 km with an average consumption of 1 in 15, while the most economical Octavia RS has 1 in 16.2. The most economical 2.0 TDI ‘does’ 1 at 20.3.
Consumption Octavia with TSI petrol engine
Even with a petrol engine, the Octavia is not exactly inefficient. Drivers of a Skoda Octavia 1.0 TSI consume an average of 1 in 17.5 and mainly opt for the station wagon. This 1.0-liter three-cylinder turns out to be the most economical petrol engine in practice, although the older four-cylinder 1.2 TSI (average 1 in 16.9) and more powerful 1.5 TSI four-cylinder (1 in 17) do not escape it much.
The most economical 1.0 TSI is one from 2017, the owner of which reaches the manufacturer’s specification by a hair’s breadth. This station wagon consumes a liter of petrol every 20.3 kilometers, while the factory promises a hectometre more, measured in the period from August last year. Would this owner be able to drive it even more economically as summer approaches?
