New Diesel Engine For Skoda Superb and Octavia

Skoda is now offering the whole range of Superb and Octavia including sedan and combi with an new 2.0 TDI CR 103kW with four-wheel drive and automatic DSG transmission.

4WD system is particularly popular with the Superb Combi as every fifth Combi sold is a four-wheel drive.

The 2.0 TDI CR DPF 103 kW diesel engine and the automatic DSG transmission with four-wheel drive will be also offered with both the Octavia Combi and the Scout version, increasing the appeal of this well priced and well equipped models.

This engine and its drivetrain are very clever. The power distribution is controlled electronically, by the fourth-generation Haldex clutch. Under normal traction conditions, 96 % of the total power is directed to the front axle. If, however, the road/wheel adhesion parameters change, the Haldex system reacts in a fracti on of a second and moves the torque to those wheels whose traction parameters are better at that particular moment
