Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Octavia Diesel Active is a robust and reliable choice for those seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and practicality. My experience with the Octavia highlights its strong build quality, which feels solid and durable, much like travelling in a tank. The 1.9 TDI engine, though from an older generation, is powerful and efficient, providing excellent high-speed stability and a smooth driving experience. However, there are some drawbacks, such as the occasional loud engine sound and the need for periodic maintenance at Skoda Authorized Service Stations, which can be a bit expensive. Despite these, the Octavias interior quality, spacious boot, and overall driving comfort make it a compelling option for those who value reliability and performance.

Price

The Skoda Octavia, particularly the Diesel Active variant, is not currently available in the Indian market due to the recent updates and the shift to newer engine options. However, if we consider the pricing strategy of Skoda for their recent models, the Octavia is expected to be priced between 30 lakh to 35 lakh rupees ex-showroom for the newer facelift versions. On-road prices would likely range from 35 lakh to 40 lakh rupees, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the Octavia as a premium offering, bridging the gap between the top-spec Slavia and the Kodiaq SUV.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 13 August 2024 02:32 PM The Skoda Octavia Diesel Active, powered by a 2.0 TDI engine, now comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, producing 85 kW (115 hp) of power. This variant is known for its fuel efficiency and is a popular choice for long-distance drivers. I think this engine option is a great balance between performance and economy.

Wednesday, 15 May 2024 08:17 PM Skoda has enhanced the safety features of the Octavia Diesel Active, including the introduction of Intelligent Park Assist and Remote Park Assist, making parking easier and safer. Additionally, a new system for assessing driver fatigue has been implemented, monitoring multiple sources to detect actual fatigue. This is a significant upgrade for driver safety.

Tuesday, 14 May 2024 06:48 PM The design of the Skoda Octavia Diesel Active has been subtly rejuvenated with a refashioned front end, new headlights that hug the radiator grille more closely, and a sleeker rear bumper. These changes give the car a fresh and dynamic look without altering its core appeal. I believe these design tweaks will appeal to both new and existing customers.

Tuesday, 14 May 2024 09:58 AM The Skoda Octavia Diesel Active benefits from improved LED Matrix technology in its headlights, now featuring 36 segments instead of 24, and includes the modern Crystallinium light element. This enhances visibility and adds to the cars premium feel.
