The new Octavia will initially be offered with two engine options, a petrol and a diesel. The petrol is the 1.8 TSI engine from the Laura which has been uprated to make 177bhp now. The diesel motor is the familiar 2.0-litre TDI unit that makes 141bhp. The petrol engine will come mated to a 7-speed DSG, while the diesel will get a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Neither will have the option of paddle shifters, though. Also, the petrol variant will not get a manual transmission option. There may also be a base 1.4-litre petrol engine on offer later.
