1.8TFSI Elegance

ednmra · 23-10-2007, 22:01

Has anyone yet come across any comparative performance figures (and any other good/bad comparisons) between the new 1.8TFSI and the present 2.0FSI hatches?

bengie · 23-10-2007, 22:15

copied straight from parkers:-

1.8T FSI Laurin + Klement 5d cc 1798 bhp 160 mph 139 0-60 7.8 mpg 38 IG 12
2.0 FSI Ambiente 5d cc 1984 bhp 150 mph 132 0-60 9.0 mpg 37 IG 10

Also from Parkers, the torque
1.8TFSI
Engine Size 1798 cc
0-60 mph 7.8 s
Power Output 160 bhp
Torque 250 Nm 184 lb-ft
Top Speed 139 mph

And 2.0FSI
Engine Size 1984 cc
0-60 mph 9.0 s
Power Output 150 bhp
Torque 200 Nm 148 lb-ft
Top Speed 132 mph

Also graphs of 1.8TFSI and 2.0FSI at the bottom of each page

That seems dashed close to how quick the VRS is.

ednmra · 25-10-2007, 18:44

only 10 bhp less than the diesel vRS

Those acceleration figures for the 1.8TFSi seem optimistic in my opinion.

I can't see a gain of 10bhp and 30 ft lbs being sufficient to knock over a second off a 9 second 0-60 time. I would have thought 8.4 seconds or thereabouts would be closer to the mark?

bengie · 25-10-2007, 20:37

have you looked at the curves?

the FSi has its peak torque of 200Nm from 3250-4250 where the 1.8TFSi has peak torque of 250Nm from 1500 - 5000rpm so the TFSi has a way larger power band.

And are the gear ratios the same? I expect various things can affect 0-60 times.

Sporky McGuffin · 25-10-2007, 23:43

Weight too maybe?

Skoda site doesn't show this as being available with DSG or Tiptronic. Is this correct ? Shame if no "auto" option. Looks like I might be going for a year-old Volvo S60 D5 Geartronic if not.

I think that's the case, although I just got my 1.8TSI Auto today, but I live in China, a lot of extras too.

How much are they over there? Can you factory order RHD?

Shane · 26-10-2007, 14:39

It cost just over £12,000 for the top range model, but you can't factory order anything! China is not a cheap country for cars, they have about 70% import tax on cars and car parts, so my one is Chinese made.

bengie · 26-10-2007, 14:54

12k!!! it would cost lots more than that over here!

True, but then again it would have ESP, or least it would be an option. There is no options list, just xeons, but it comes with a lot - sunroof, power-heated-leather seats, etc etc I'm going to post what it has and has not got that is different from the Irish one I had, when I find out.
