Hi,
It's been quite some time I have been looking at the latest MkIII Superbs and trying to select a model. At the moment I have it boiled down to:
- 2018 or later, does not matter facelift or not
- TSI petrol engine
- DSG 7 gear automatic transmission
One of the following engines:
- 1.5 TSI, 110 kW (since 2019)
- 1.4 TSI, 110 kW (before 2019)
- 1.8 TSI, 132 kW (before 2019)
I tend to drive ~15k per year. About 70 % of that in the city and 30 % long-range.
Would be good to hear how much is the consumption for each of these.
As far as I have seen, it seems that 1.8 TSI requires ~1 liter more per 100 km than the other two, but that is something I can live with. Would be nice to hear if my expectations are reasonable.
I am also interested if there is something well-known regarding reliability and maintenance costs. The 1.8 TSI was discontinued after the facelift - is it a red flag indicating that something is wrong with this configuration?
Grateful for any support.
