Škoda petrol cars use modern TSI turbo petrol engines from the VAG group. These engines deliver solid performance, low fuel consumption, and have become the dominant choice in newer Škoda models thanks to stricter emissions standards.

The most common TSI engines in the Škoda range are the 1.0 TSI (95/110/115 HP) and 1.5 TSI (130/150 HP). The 1.0 TSI is found in the Fabia, Scala, Kamiq and Octavia, while the 1.5 TSI is available in the Octavia, Karoq and Superb. The more powerful sporty versions, Octavia RS and Kodiaq RS, use the 2.0 TSI (245 HP). Most TSI engines come with a 7-speed DSG gearbox and optional 4x4 drive for SUV variants.
When buying used TSI engines, pay attention to oil consumption — earlier 1.4 TSI generations (EA111 up to 2012) had issues with timing chain stretch and oil consumption. Newer EA211 generations (from 2012) are significantly more reliable. Check whether the oil has been changed every 15,000 km and the DSG gearbox oil as well. The high-pressure fuel pump and PCV valve may sometimes need replacement after 150,000 km.
Octavia TSI and Fabia TSI are a popular choice among families in Montenegro thanks to their combination of space, equipment and affordable pricing. The Octavia with the 1.5 TSI engine offers a balance between performance and fuel consumption, with an average of 6 l/100 km in mixed driving. The Scala and Kamiq with the 1.0 TSI are suitable for city use. Prices for used Škoda TSI models aged 3–5 years range from 12,000 to 25,000 EUR depending on model and equipment.
The 1.5 TSI EA211 evo (from 2018) with cylinder deactivation offers an excellent balance between performance and fuel consumption. For smaller drivers, the 1.0 TSI is sufficient and economical. Avoid older 1.4 TSI EA111 generations because of known chain and oil consumption issues.
A Škoda Octavia with the 1.5 TSI 150 HP engine averages 5.8–6.3 l/100 km in mixed driving. On open roads, fuel consumption can drop below 5.5 l/100 km thanks to the cylinder deactivation (ACT) function.
Most TSI engines recommend petrol with an octane rating of 95 or higher. For optimal performance, especially in the 2.0 TSI engines in the Octavia RS and Kodiaq RS, 98-octane petrol is recommended because it allows the ECU map to advance to its maximum potential.
