About

The Skoda Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic is a well-rounded vehicle that excels in several key areas. Powered by a 2.0L EA288 diesel engine producing 140bhp and 320Nm of torque, it offers punchy performance and a 0-100kmh sprint time that is respectable for its class. The 6-speed DQ250 DSG transmission ensures smooth and responsive gear shifts, enhancing the driving experience. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with features like dual-zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, and a good quality audio system. The ride and handling balance is commendable, with a slightly stiff low-speed ride but excellent stability at high speeds.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic is a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and practicality. My experience with this vehicle has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly with its 2.0L EA288 diesel engine, which delivers 140bhp and 320Nm of torque. The 6-speed DQ250 DSG transmission provides smooth and effortless gear shifts, making it a joy to drive in both urban and highway conditions. The interior is well-appointed, with comfortable seats and ample space, making long drives a breeze. However, the lack of a reverse parking camera, even in higher variants, is a notable omission. Despite this, the Octavias build quality, reliability, and overall driving experience make it a strong contender in its segment.

Price

In India, the Skoda Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic, when it was available, typically fell in the price range of around 20-25 lakhs ex-showroom, depending on the region and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices would have been higher, often ranging between 25-30 lakhs, including taxes, registration, and insurance. While the exact pricing may vary based on the model year and condition, a used 2014 model, as seen in some reviews, could be priced around 7.8 lakhs, reflecting its age and mileage. This pricing makes the Octavia a competitive option in the mid-size sedan segment, offering a balance of luxury and affordability.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 22 October 2024 06:18 AM The 2024 Skoda Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic is set to benefit from a range of technological upgrades, including a new 10-inch digital display and dual-zone Climatronic air conditioning as standard. This enhances the comfort and convenience for drivers and passengers. I think these updates will make the Octavia even more appealing to those looking for a practical and feature-rich vehicle.

Sunday, 15 September 2024 05:44 PM Skoda has introduced new safety features in the 2024 Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic, such as Intelligent Park Assist and Remote Park Assist, which make parking easier and safer. Additionally, a new driver fatigue detection system monitors multiple sources to distinguish between short-term inattention and actual fatigue. This is a significant step in enhancing road safety.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 06:04 PM The design of the 2024 Skoda Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic has been subtly rejuvenated with new second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights and a revised front grille. The rear bumper has also been completely redesigned, giving the car a sleeker and more dynamic look. I believe these design tweaks will help the Octavia stand out in its segment.

Thursday, 25 July 2024 10:09 AM Skoda has confirmed that the 2024 Octavia Diesel Ambition Automatic will come with a 110 kW (148 bhp) 2.0 TDI diesel engine, paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. This combination offers a balance of power and efficiency, making it a compelling choice for daily driving.
