Skoda Auto is expanding its range of economical and environmentally friendly GreenLine models . In Frankfurt am Main, it presented an ecological version of the new generation Octavia car.
A car with a combined consumption of 3.3 liters of diesel per 100 km produces only 87 g of CO2 per kilometer. With this new product, six of the current seven Skoda model lines are already available as GreenLine. For the Citigo city car, the compressed natural gas (CNG) version, which has been on offer since October 2012, fulfills the role of an ecological alternative. Skoda models are already among the most economical cars on the market today, and moreover at a favorable price. GreenLine models are the ecological standard in our offer," says Dr. Frank Welsch , member of the Skoda Auto board of directors for technical development.
Start-Stop system, brake energy recuperation, tires with reduced rolling resistance, optimization of aerodynamics, modification of the drive chain and modifications aimed at reducing weight – these are the characteristics of Skoda cars in the GreenLine version . The ecological model can be easily identified by the GreenLine plaque on the radiator grille and on the tailgate. This variant is expected for each model line of the car manufacturer from Mladá Boleslav; the exception is the Citigo , where the role of the "green" version is fulfilled by the compressed natural gas version.
Skoda Octavia GreenLine , presented for the first time at IAA 2013, is powered by a 1.6 TDI diesel engine with an output of 81 kW. The car emits just 87 g of CO2/km with a combined consumption of just 3.3 l/100 km.
With the launch of the new Rapid Spaceback model, the GreenLine version will also be extended to the Rapid model range. A new 1.6 TDI /66 kW diesel engine will be available for the Rapid GreenLine and Rapid Spaceback GreenLine. Both cars consume only 3.8 liters of diesel per 100 km , which corresponds to CO 2 emissions of 99 g/km.
The redesigned Skoda Yeti is also available again in the GreenLine version. The Skoda Yeti GreenLine 1.6 TDI/77 kW with front-wheel drive comes with a five-speed manual transmission. Combined diesel consumption is 4.6 liters per 100 km , which corresponds to CO 2 emissions of 119 g/km.
A few weeks ago, Skoda presented the rejuvenated Superb model line for the first time. The flagship of the brand in the GreenLine version achieves a combined consumption of 4.2 l/100 km and CO 2 emissions of 109 g/km. Skoda Superb Combi GreenLine consumes 4.3 l/100 km, which corresponds to CO 2 emissions of 113 g/km. Under the hood of the Superb GreenLine and Superb Combi GreenLine cars, a 1.6 TDI /77 kW diesel engine works in conjunction with a manual six-speed gearbox (5-speed so far).
Skoda Fabia GreenLine is one of the most economical models in its segment. With a 1.2 TDI /55 kW engine and five-speed manual transmission, it boasts a combined consumption of just 3.4 l/100 km and CO 2 emissions of 88 g/km. The same values apply to the Skoda Fabia Combi GreenLine car.
The Skoda Roomster personifies the combination of variable space, economical operation and low CO2 emissions. The Roomster GreenLine with a 1.2 TDI/55 kW engine and manual five-speed transmission has a consumption of 4.2 l/100 km and CO 2 emissions of 109 g/km.
The Skoda Citigo is the first model of the brand that comes standard with a natural gas drive . The CO 2 emission of the Citigo CNG model is 79 g/km. Achieving this exceptional value was possible thanks to the combination of the fuel used, i.e. compressed natural gas (CNG), and a set of technical measures, collectively known as Green tec . This includes the Start-Stop system, brake energy recovery and tires with reduced rolling resistance. A city car with an output of 50 kW has a standardized consumption of 4.4 m3 (2.9 kg) of natural gas per 100 km . The range of the car is 620 km (400 km on gas, plus 220 km on petrol from the additional tank).
