While the 1.0-litre unit will be offered with an optional 6-speed torque converter, the 1.5-litre TSI will be offered with an option of 7-speed DSG automatic. Although Skoda has not revealed performance figures of both the engines, we expect them to be offered in a similar tune as other Skoda cars. The 1.0-litre TSI engine makes 110PS and 175Nm in the Rapid, and the 1.5-litre TSI engine, on the other hand, makes 150PS and 250Nm in the Karoq SUV.
