Skoda Auto India will announce the prices of the new generation Octavia in the domestic market tomorrow and is expected to be priced from Rs. 26.5 lakh for the entry-level variant and it goes all the way up to Rs. 32 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom) for the range-topper. The Octavia has grown bigger in size courtesy of a new platform and it gets an assortment of changes inside and out.
The Octavia kick-started the operations for the Czech Republican brand two decades in India and is entering its fourth generation, which has been on sale in the international markets for more than a year. Based on the VW Group’s MQB Evo architecture, the new avatar of the Skoda Octavia ditches the parted headlamps in place of a more appealing slender bi-LED headlamp cluster.
It will be offered in two variants namely Style and L&K (Laurin & Klement) and five paint schemes will be available: Lava Blue, Magic Black, Candy White, Brilliant Silver, and Maple Brown. The front fascia gets a meaner butterfly grille with chrome surrounds and black vertical slats, integrated LED Daytime Running Lights and a chiselled bonnet.
It also features newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels, Skoda lettering on the bootlid, a redesigned bumper with chrome fog lamp cluster, a prominent beltline running down the sides, chromed window line, lower door cladding, sculpted bootlid, C-shaped split LED tail lamp signature and a revised rear bumper.
The 2021 Skoda Octavia measures 4,689 mm long, 1,829 mm wide and has a height of 1,469 mm with a 2,680 mm long wheelbase. Just as the redesigned exterior, the cabin of the new-gen Octavia gets a host of revisions including a new two-spoke steering wheel with paddle shifters and scrollers, wireless charging pad with USB Type-C charging ports, and light colour suede and leather beige upholstery.
Other highlighting features are a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless SmartLink, shift-by-wire technology, EPB (Electric Parking Brake) with auto hold, dual-zone automatic climate control, powered tailgate, electrically adjustable front seats, 10.25-inch virtual cockpit (digital cluster), 12-speaker Canton audio, and ambient lighting.
The top-spec L&K gains eight airbags, anti-lock brakes, adaptive front lighting system, electronic brake-force distribution, multi-collision brake, electronic stability control, mechanical brake assist, electronic differential lock, anti-slip regulation, hydraulic brake assist, and so on.
As for performance, the 2021 Skoda Octavia is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TSI petrol engine, which is good enough to develop a maximum power output of 187 bhp and 320 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain is linked with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission.
