1.9 TDI PD max torque at 1900 rpm

1.2 tsi max torque at 1500rpm...

clearly the 1.2tsi have the max torque at a lower rev..although a bit smaller. The petrol engine evolves too!

If you look at the figures the bhp is more or less the same but the diesel achieves these figures at lower revs and the torque output ( which I find more useful than bhp ) offered by the diesel is much more than the petrol equiavalents again at much lower engine speed ....

Attached may help!

Impressive figures!

Škoda Octavia 1.2 TSI and 1.6 TDI CR DSG: Two More Reasons to be Happy

• New, downsized 1.2 TSI 105bhp

• 1.6 TDI CR 105bhp now available with 7-speed DSG

• Increased performance, lower emissions

The Škoda Octavia family hatchback and estate range is now even more attractive thanks to the addition of two new engines. A new, downsized 1.2 TSI 105bhp petrol engine is now offered along with the very latest 1.6 TDI CR 105bhp diesel engine with DSG dual-clutch transmission.

The state-of-the-art 1.2 TSI 105bhp is now available with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed DSG gearboxes, in either hatchback or estate bodystyles and in S and SE trim levels. This engine first saw service in the recently introduced Yeti crossover, where it instantly impressed with its punchy performance and frugality thanks to its combination of a small-capacity petrol engine with turbocharging and direct injection technology.

It's a similar story in the Octavia, where the 1.2 TSI hatch combines low CO2 emissions of 134g/km* with a 0-62mph time of just 10.8** seconds; exceptional for its capacity of 1,197cc. Fuel economy is similarly impressive, with a combined figure of 49.6mpg***. This new engine is available with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed DSG transmissions.

Meanwhile the recently introduced, latest-generation 1.6 TDI CR 105bhp diesel is now also available with 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox, combining smooth, effortless performance with CO2 emissions of just 123g/km. The 1.6 TDI CR 105bhp DSG is available with the same bodystyle and trim combinations as the 1.2 TSI as well as in Elegance guise.

These new additions to the Octavia range continue to improve an already multi-award-winning formula of practicality, comfort, value for money and low running costs.

The 1.2 TSI will replace the 1.6MPI, other than that all as before
