Natural gas-powered ŠKODA OCTAVIA G-TEC with CNG drive now available for order

"ŠKODA is launching the next alternative drive variant of the new OCTAVIA: Customers can now order the ŠKODA OCTAVIA G-TEC, which is powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG or natural gas). The sedan with Ambition equipment, including 16 percent value-added tax, is available from 30,276 euros; the station wagon version is available from 30,959 euros. Both meet the Euro 6d-ISC-FCM (AP) emission standard, which will be in force from January 2021, and are content with 3.5 kg/100 km CNG in combined consumption according to the NEDC standard. In addition to the Ambition version, ŠKODA also offers the OCTAVIA G-TEC in the Style version and as an even more high-quality equipped special model FIRST EDITION. The ŠKODA OCTAVIA 1.5 TGI G-TEC DSG is consistently designed for operation with environmentally friendly natural gas (CNG). Its 1.5 TGI petrol engine produces 96 kW (130 PS) and distributes this power via an automatic 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). The cleaner combustion of natural gas reduces CO2 emissions in CNG mode by around 25 percent compared to gasoline operation, and there are also significantly fewer nitrogen oxides (NOx) and no soot particles. In CNG mode the OCTAVIA G-TEC has a combined consumption of 3.5 to 3.4 kg/100 km and 4.6 l/100 km in gasoline mode. CO2 emissions are correspondingly low at 96 to 93 g/km. "
