Skoda, the renowned Czech automobile manufacturer, has officially unveiled the highly anticipated facelift version of its flagship sedan, the Skoda Octavia.
Exterior Updates
The exterior of the 2024 Skoda Octavia facelift features new sharper-looking headlights that get second-generation LED Matrix beam tech. The grille has received slight tweaks along with the front and rear bumpers. The boot now sports bold Skoda lettering, and the tail lights have also been tweaked with a hint of dark shade. Skoda is offering new alloy wheel designs with this mid-cycle update. There are 10 color options on offer.
Interior Enhancements
The interior looks more or less the same, but the Czech brand is now using more sustainable materials inside the cabin including new sustainable leather. The dashboard gets updated color tones, and the upholstery matches the same. There is a new optional 13-inch digital touchscreen display on offer. It comes standard with a 10-inch unit along with a new 10-inch Virtual Cockpit with the latest user interface. It is also equipped with the AI-based chatbot ChatGPT. It comes with Attention and Drowsiness Assist and other ADAS features.
Heading to India?
Exciting news for Indian automotive enthusiasts, the 2024 Skoda Octavia facelift is confirmed to be heading to the Indian market and for good reason. There has always been a fanbase for the Skoda Octavia in India. Skoda India had sold out the allocated cars for India pretty quickly from the previous generation. With its refreshed design, enhanced features, and renowned Skoda craftsmanship, the Octavia facelift is poised to make a strong impression on Indian roads, catering to the needs of luxury sedan buyers seeking style, performance, and value.
Skoda Octavia Pricing and Availability
The Octavia will come to India via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route which means that it will attract higher duties. We can expect it to be priced upwards of ₹30 lakh. The car may be launched in the second half of this calendar year.
