It's the 280
PS 2.0 TSI, similar to what you'll find in the SEAT Leon Cupra, but match by a
standard 6-speed DSG and 4x4. Once these features have marinated into the car,
you are already looking at a € 44,850 price tag.
But Skoda customers have been getting richer by the
day, and some of them even have some money left over for fancy paint. The Czech
company recently released a fill photo gallery featuring what it calls
"Dragon Skin Gold Metallic," an individual color that's only
available to order. But the configurator reveals a very reasonable price of
€ 850.
The Kodiaq crossover also has a hot color we
discovered at the Paris Motor Show: Speed Yellowgreen. There will be a
SportLine version of the Kodiaq soon, so maybe it too will be available with
dragon scales. We can see why why is the most popular car in the
world, being both cheap and attractive. However, the Czechs are taking acid and
we love it.
The official power rating of this unit engine is 280
PS and 350 Nm, but we know it's the same engine from the Golf R and the Audi
S3, just tuned slightly differently. In the Superb, the 2.0 TSI replaces the
old V6 which all the Czech presidents had. It comes standard with a DSG
gearbox, and 4x4, so powering to 100 km/h takes only 6 seconds.
Sure, you can have other engines with the
SportLine. In fact, the only thing you can't have is a 1.6 TDI, which is
probably for the best.
