Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Octavia Diesel Elegance Automatic is a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of comfort, practicality, and performance. My experience with this vehicle has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly in terms of its spacious interior and generous boot space, which makes it ideal for family use or long road trips. The 2.0-litre diesel engine provides decent pace and impressive fuel economy, although real-world mileage may vary from the claimed figures. The DSG transmission is smooth and effortless, making city driving and highway cruising equally enjoyable. While the ride can be slightly stiff at low speeds, it stabilizes well at higher speeds. The Elegance trim offers a wealth of features, including dual-zone climate control, Driver Fatigue Control, and a robust infotainment system. However, the lack of a reverse parking camera in older models is a notable omission. Overall, the Octavia Elegance Automatic is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable, feature-rich, and comfortable vehicle.

Price

In India, the Skoda Octavia Diesel Elegance Automatic typically falls within a premium price bracket. As of recent listings, the ex-showroom price for this variant can range from approximately 25 lakhs to 30 lakhs, depending on the location and any additional features or customizations. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can push the total to around 30 lakhs to 35 lakhs. While this may seem steep, the Octavias robust build quality, extensive feature list, and excellent performance justify the investment. Its also worth noting that Skoda often offers various incentives and discounts, which can help bring the price down. For those seeking a high-quality, European-designed vehicle with a strong resale value, the Octavia Elegance Automatic is a worthwhile consideration.

Latest Updates

Saturday, 06 May 2023 08:32 AM The Skoda Octavia Diesel Elegance Automatic, which was once a popular choice in India, has been discontinued due to the companys failure to make it BS6 RDE compliant. This decision has been met with disappointment from fans of the model, who appreciated its powerful 1.9-litre turbocharged diesel engine and comfortable ride. I think this move is a significant loss for the Indian market, as the Octavia had a loyal following.

Friday, 01 October 2021 06:06 AM In 2021, Skoda launched the fourth-generation Octavia in India, but it received a lukewarm response, partly because it lacked features like a sunroof and ventilated seats, and there was no diesel engine option for heavy users. The car was priced around Rs. 37 lakh on-road, which was not very appealing to consumers who prefer midsize SUVs in that price range. I believe Skoda missed an opportunity by not tailoring the features more to Indian consumer preferences.

Wednesday, 01 June 2005 08:38 PM The Skoda Octavia Elegance with an automatic transmission was notable for its 1.9-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which produced 90bhp at 4000rpm. This variant managed a 0-60kmph timing of 6.4 seconds and reached 100kmph in 15.3 seconds. Although not as quick as its manual counterpart, it offered a smooth and comfortable driving experience. I believe this automatic version was a good option for those seeking ease of driving in city conditions.

Friday, 01 October 2004 06:38 AM Nearly three years after its introduction, the Skoda Octavia finally got an Automatic transmission variant for the 1.9 TDI Elegance trim in October 2004. This variant came with a 4-Speed automatic transmission and was more expensive than its manual sibling by Rs. 80,000 at the time of launch. It included features like ABS as standard and a dot matrix display in the instrument cluster. I think this addition was a welcome move, but it came a bit late to make a significant impact.

Monday, 01 March 2004 10:09 AM The initial batch of Skoda Octavia Elegance models in India had somewhat dull-looking interiors, but the later variants, especially the Elegance trim, brought more luxurious interiors with beige-black color coordination and excellent seat support. The addition of features like rear wiper, climatronic AC, and leather upholstery enhanced the overall comfort and appeal of the car. I think these interior upgrades significantly improved the driving and passenger experience.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 04:15 AM The Skoda Octavia Diesel Elegance Automatic boasts impressive fuel economy, with claimed figures of up to 21.7 kmpl. In real-world driving, you can expect mileage to range between 18-20 kmpl, depending on driving conditions and habits. This makes it an economical choice for both city driving and long road trips, helping to keep running costs manageable. The diesel engines efficiency is a significant advantage, especially for those who cover substantial distances regularly.
