Power Figures - All Engines

Interesting

So it seems to start with at least, the best you can get is 90KW (120bhp) 1.4TSI - Roll on the vRS version

Where did you get those from? Those straight lines on the torque "curves" look.... weird.

Yeh. It looks like they have been limited to that torque which wouldn't actually suprise me.

The full hog 180bhp 1.4 tsi and DSG box would go very well in this car.

A higher output diesel would also probably be warmly welcomed. But that won't happen with the 1.6.

Even more interesting.....

Have just copied this from the Skoda website:

ŠKODA Rapid engines

The offering of petrol engines starts with a three-cylinder aggregate of 1.2 MPI/55 kW. A higher performance is offered by the modern turbocharged 1.2 TSI/63 kW and 77 kW engines. The most powerful engine for the Rapid is the highly reliable turbocharged four-cylinder 1.4 TSI/90 kW. For selected countries the offering is supplemented by the tried and tested 1.6 MPI/77 kW aggregate.

A good option is the 1.6 TDI CR DPF/77 kW diesel motor with pleasant performance and low fuel consumption.

All TSI and TDI engines are available in the Green tec version, which means greater fuel savings and lower CO2 emissions.

Depending on the engine, vehicles come with standard 5 or 6-speed transmission. The automatic 6-speed DSG transmission is also available for the 1.4 TSI/90 kW.
