Skoda Octavia Facelift Officially Teased Ahead of Global Debut in February

Skoda Auto has released an official teaser for the Octavia Facelift ahead of its international debut in February 2024. The trailer does not offer any important information on the revamped Octavia, yet the car is anticipated to sport many exterior and interior modifications. While the Czech carmaker is currently silent on Octavia's entry in India, market rumours suggest that a limited edition of the Octavia RS iV, which integrates plug-in hybrid technology, may arrive here. If these reports are accurate, the model might be fully imported into India, potentially carrying a high price tag of approximately Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom). The Czech carmaker reportedly plans to introduce the Superb, Enyaq iV, and the new Kodiaq to the Indian market this year. But before that, let's take a closer look at the possible traits of the new Octavia that is scheduled to debut internationally this February.
