What's the 1.0 TSI Octavia in 'old money'?

Filed under: performance

The question

The 2017 Octavia is described as a 1.0 TSI. But what is that equal to 'in old money'. I just don't get the newer classification. Can you help me to understand?

Hi Peter,

Very roughly speaking, its performance is equivalent to an old 1.4 or even 1.6-litre petrol engine with no turbocharger.

You might find our review (with video) of the Octavia 1.0 TSI interesting.
