The smaller capacity 1.0 TSI is the more efficient engine in the range, with the manual-geared Slavia reporting an efficiency of 11.8kpl and 14.2kpl in city and highway conditions, respectively. Meanwhile, the automatic reported 10.5kpl in the city and 13.4kpl on the highway. The 1.5 TSI, on the other hand, came across as rather thirsty in comparison, reporting 8.8kpl and 8.4kpl for the manual and DSG, respectively, in the city, while its cylinder deactivation aided efficiency (to an extent) when cruising at steady speeds on the highway, resulting in 14.9kpl and 14.2kpl for the manual and DSG, respectively.

Turbo-petrol engines are sensitive to a lot of factors, with driving styles being one and ambient temperatures being another. During our tests, outside temperatures ranged between 34 and 38 degC, and so, despite being equipped with the automatic engine start-stop feature, it seldom turned off the car at a traffic stop because the air-con compressor needed to work overtime to maintain 22 degC inside the cabin. This factor impacted fuel consumption, particularly for the 1.5-litre engines.

It's better to be sceptical about the Skoda cars in India. The history goes against the Skoda brand cars in India, superb, Octavia, Laura, Fabia, Yeti and now the Rapid. Skoda cars seen on the road for 3 to 4 since the launch date and then these vanish into the thin air and are not seen thereafter.
