These days even the high-end luxury saloons like the Jaguar XF are offered with ultra-efficient diesel engines, so it’s a definite must for the economy cars of this segment to have at least one of these units in their range. That;s what Skoda has realized and is now offering a new 2.0 liter TDI diesel engine for both Superb Sedan and Combi.

Suprb’s 2.o liter diesel is significantly improved over the model it replaces and develops a sensible 140 hp and returns 52.3mpg. Meanwhile thanks to the high-pressure injectors of its common rail system and diesel particulate filter (DPF), it emits only 143 grams of Co2 gas per every kilometer it covers.

You can have this engine with all of the trim levels and it can be mated to either a manual or a DSC dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Prices start at £18,205.
