ABOUT:
The Skoda Octavia is a small family car (C-segment in Europe) produced by Czech automaker Skoda Auto since 1996. Its name is revived from a model originally produced between 1959 and 1971. The current Octavia is available in five-door lift back and station wagon models.The car is based on a Volkswagen Group platform shared with the Volkswagen Jetta. There have been two generations of the Octavia model to date. A high performance version, the RS or vRS is also available.
Octavia is marketed as the Laura to distinguish it from the first generation. The car is marketed in a higher segment, and was sold alongside the previous generation Octavia. However the first generation ended production in India in 2010, and as of 2012 the Laura's price has been reduced and is now competing in its predecessor's segment.
There are two four-wheel-drive versions of the Octavia: the 4x4 and the Scout, both featuring a Haldex Traction four-wheel-drive system, based on a computer-controlled clutch center coupling. The two models both have higher ground clearance than the standard Octavia, increased by 24 mm (0.9 in) for the 4x4 and by 40 mm (1.6 in) for the Scout. The Scout, announced in 2006, is only available with the estate body style, and has several crossover style exterior modifications, such as larger bumpers.
In August 2011, a special Skoda Octavia vRS hit the world record on the American Bonneville Speedway and became the fastest car in world with an up to 2-liter engine, when it hit 365.43 km/h (227 mph).
Octavia was revealed on 11 December 2012, at the Skoda museum in Mlada Boleslav.
The new model will be 9 cm (4 in) longer and 4.5 cm (2 in) wider than the second generation and the wheelbase will be extended by 10.8 cm (4.3 in). It is also up to 102 kilograms lighter than the previous model. At the interior, an 8-inch touch-screen display, also used in the Volkswagen Golf, will be available, as well as an electric panoramic roof. The luggage compartment will have a volume of 590 liters (21 cu ft).
It will feature new safety equipment such as forward collision warning, driver fatigue detection system, driver knee airbag, rear side airbags and active bonnet. Other assistance systems that will be available are lane-keeping assistant, adaptive cruise control, parking assistant or traffic sign recognition system.
Engines will be in the range of 86–179 PS (63–132 kW), and a Green Line version, that will be producing only 89 grams of CO2 per km, will also be offered. All-wheel drive transmission will be added a later point for the RS and Combi versions.
Previously, photos of the car covered in light camouflage were released to the media in late October 2012, after other pre-production cars had already been spotted on several occasions during the same month.
