The company has introduced this car in two variants, in which the price of the base variant of Octavia has been fixed at Rs. 25.99 lakh.

Along with this, a chrome strip connects the fog lamp casing, and the taillights are now made more attractive than before with new Skoda badging at the rear.
In the new Skoda Octavia, the company has used a 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, this engine is capable of producing 188 bhp power and 320 Nm peak torque. At the same time, it is mated to a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.
