With the new platform, the size of the car has also been increased.
ArrayThe 2021 Skoda Octavia is bigger compared to the previous model. It now features Skoda’s modern-day design language. Upfront, it gets the company’s signature multi-slat grille. The new Skoda Octavia will be retailed in India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), and the carmaker will offer the sedan in top-spec Laurin & Klement trim. It will come loaded with all the bells and whistles, and the automaker has also introduced new colour shade options. The one you see in the video is the new Lava Blue paint scheme, which was not on offer before. The new Skoda Octavia will also feature sleek LED headlamps and J-shaped DRLs. On the side, it gets 17-inch multi-spoke rims, which looks quite sporty. The new Skoda Octavia will only be offered with a petrol engine. It will derive power from a 2.0-litre gasoline mill, which develops around 190 PS of peak power.
