The 2017 Skoda Octavia has appeared in completely undisguised spy shots in India ahead of its expected Q3 2017 launch. The new spy shots reveal the exterior and interior of the Indian-spec facelifted Skoda Octavia in detail.

The facelifted Skoda Octavia gets a wider and slightly more angular grille flanked by split headlamps featuring full LED lighting, full-width chrome slat on the air dam grille, restyled bumpers and LED tail lights with new graphics. Inside, the new Skoda Octavia gets a new three-spoke steering wheel and new touchscreen infotainment system in a new glass design. Equipment revisions are also likely for the different grades the car is offered in.


The Skoda Octavia is available with 1.4-litre TSI, 1.8-litre TSI and 2.0-litre TDI engines currently, and that is expected that remain unchanged. The 1.4-litre turbocharged unit develops 150 PS/250 Nm via a 6-speed manual transmission. The 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol unit produces 180 PS/250 Nm routes via 7-speed DSG transmission. The 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel unit delivers 143 PS/320 Nm offered a 6-speed manual transmission and the 6-speed DSG transmission.

Skoda India will also introduce the vRS variant to the range. It is available in multiple powertrain configurations, but India will reportedly get this variant with the 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that puts out 230 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Internationally Skoda offers 6-speed manual and 6-speed DSG transmission choices, but it is likely we will get only the latter.
