Sorry, lost the German story about the 245 hp VRS for 2019. Must remain a rumour then.

Edited 6 September, 20187 yr by gregoir

in this story about the Octy 4 (IV ?) 

https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/skoda-octavia-combi-2019-daten-bilder-motoren/

 

it says that the RS will get a 250PS engine (with GPF)

 

it also mentions a 1.5l petrol with 200PS 

Some more confusion as to when the petrol vRS will be available. Still nothing on the configurator but is included in the UK August brochure  http://www.skoda.co.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/downloads/brochures/brochure_octavia.pdf

Yup thanks  , that's the one , I applied Google translate and then lost it.

But is it just a rumour?

Can a Mod merge the brochure thread with this one?

... and the pricing and specs document is dated September.

But the spec document still refers to MY18 only, and seems limited to a subset of models. S/SE/SE L specs, with no 2.0 diesel, and I imagine other engines missing too.

 

I see there's another pricing and specs document, also dated September, but adding in some L&K models, and some models have the 2.0 diesel, and the 2.0 Petrol (190) engine. I think the MY18 disclaimer has now disappeared too.

2.0Tsi (190) L&K and SE-L are now on the UK configurator.

Yes if a 2.0TSi SEL or even better a TSi Scout had been available last year that's what I would have bought.  As it is I'm stuck with my 245 for the time being. Its a hard life.

I was in a similar position. VRS seating and ride I wasn't able to get on with and a lot more spec in the Elegance/SEL.

Doesn't say on the config. We will have to wait and see.

Close to £30k in the same spec I have now which is £5k more than I paid for my Passat a few years ago.

Also looks like the 6 speed wet clutch DQ250 is history as all 2.0litre diesels and petrols now get the 7 speed wet clutch DQ380.

I imagine that with 7 speeds there are slight improvements in mpg/ emissions etc. because it's easier to be in the "right" gear for more the time?

And 7th is taller than 6th which is more important to WLTP than NEDC.

 

Speed on the vertical axis.

Ordered my19 245 VRS on 4th september being told it wouldnt be here until January or Febuary! Asked for dsg and black pack which seems to be standard on them now. Went back to dealer on 21st september to ask for the virtual dash to be added to order. They informed me they couldnt because they had just been notified that the car was out of the factory and expected in the UK in 4 weeks! Asked what the spec was and all they could tell me is that what i aked for was on the car! Also told me that they ordered my car on the 4th but went to order another 1 on the 5th and they were not able to! As for skoda uk i went on with one of their virtual experts who hadnt a clue and was going to email me an old broucher a week ago which I am still waiting to receive!!! Up side i hope to have my car middle of this month!

Well it's over 150bhp and the old 1.8 had IRS I believe.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if they offered the 2.0 TSI 190 with 4x4

Skoda UK have said they will offer a 2.0TSi 190PS 4x4 Estate and a Scout and will be available to order soon.

 

Many dealers and lease companies already have them listed.

Specced up the equivalent of my own 2018 VRS 245 and all the options I have, along with what was included with the UK VRS 245, just adding in the digital dash and the price is over 40,000 Euros!
