I have a 2019 Octavia with the 1.0 engine, seven speed DSG petrol. I have recently driven to Scotland and back twice, fully loaded, and now am in Shropshire, even more loaded, four up and packed to the gunnels with luggage.
It always pulls well, and at no point did I find it underpowered at all. However, I don't roar along in and out of traffic, or try hairy overtakes. Just wandering along at or near the speed limits it's a very quiet and pleasant drive indeed, especially with the excellent adaptive cruise turned on.
Incidentally the Scotland run showed 70mpg on the computer, the Shropshire run 66.
