I think it's better than BMW, of course from the viewpoint of design!

What's wrong with the 1.8 TSI being used in this car? VW's Passat has the 2.0 TFSI motor in it putting out 147kw, so I think it sounds correct for the Skoda to have the 1.8 TSI (which might even be a new motor for the Group) with 118 kw.

The Passat is sold in many countries with the 90kW 1.4-liter TSI. The 125kW version would be even better.

Will wait to see different angles but concept pics I saw some time ago look good. It's also going to be a hatchback which is, in my opinion, always a plus. I really don't see the BMW lookalike thing and I'd buy a Skoda over an overpriced / overhyped BMW anyday. From what I have read, the new 160BHP 1.8TFSI is quite a torqey little number and will propel the Octavia to 62mph in under 9 seconds, so should perform quite well in the new Superb.

This will be sharing the same platform as the Volkswagen Passat. It is always bigger than Passat, same as the predecessor.

Of course there will be 1.8TSI, but there will be also 1.4TSI, 1.9TDI PD and 2.0TDI CR. And absolute best will be 3.6FSI 6V 206Kw(280BHP) so persian187 is all right if he says that kia wouldn't dare, because Kia will never be able to produce cars as good as Skoda.

You are obviously a moron. Why post comments like that when clearly you know nothing.
