Engine and Gearbox
The Skoda Slavia will be offered with two engine options. These include a turbocharged 1.0-L TSI engine and the larger 1.5-L TSI motor. No diesel engine is expected to be on offer at the time of the launch. Having said this, the 1.0-L TSI motor delivers peak power and torque output of 115 Ps and 178 Nm respectively. This engine can be had either with a 6-speed manual or an automatic gearbox. The 1.5-L TSI on the other hand delivers 1500 ho and 250 Nm of peak torque. In addition to the standard 6-speed manual gearbox, this engine can also be had with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. The performance from both these motors is impressive and so are the NVH levels. however, for hardcore driving enthusiasts, the 1.5-L TSI motor with the 6-speed manual will be a better choice.
