New 2013 Skoda Octavia review, test drive

The diesel Octavia Sedan is slightly more fuel efficient than the Jetta, because it is lighter. Its 12kpl and 17kpl in the city and highway better the Jetta’s figures by 0.2kpl in either cycle. The TSI was surprisingly fuel efficient for the power it makes. Its tech helped it post 9.5kpl in the city and 14kpl on the highway, which is quite impressive. However, be warned – this engine is sensitive to the way it is driven. Constant visits to the redline will result in a drastic drop in fuel efficiency.
