The all-new A8 series Škoda Octavia will arrive in Australian dealerships from late April 2020 with recommended retail pricing from $30,390 for the entry level Ambition sedan to $49,090 for the range topping RS Wagon.
Škoda Australia says the Octavia has been the brands stalwart since the A6 generation was introduced to the market in 2007.
For most of its eight-year life cycle the previous A7 generation of Octavia was the brands best-selling car in Australia, and globally more then 2.4 million units were sold.
The new Octavia 110TSI Ambition and Style are powered by a 1.4-litre four cylinder turbo petrol engine 110kW/250Nm (5.7 sedan, 5.9L/100km Wagon combined) mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with electronic differential lock.
The new Octavia RS is powered by a 2-litre four cylinder turbo petrol engine 180kW/370Nm (6.8L/100km combined) mated to a 7-speed wet clutch direct shift gearbox and electronic front axle inter wheel lock.
Škoda Australia says the A8 Octavia series introduces a number of firsts for this model line including 10-inch infotainment screen with touch slider, and the newest version of Virtual Cockpit.
In addition the new A8 Octavia introduces head up display, wireless Apple Car play and Android auto, shift by wire driving, LED Matrix headlights, LED fog and taillights, traffic jam assist, emergency assist and as many as 10 airbags.
The brand says the exterior and interior design treatments of the new car series are a clear step in the direction of European prestige brands but considerably greater value is offered.
According to Škoda Australia the great majority Australian customers select one or more option packages with their new vehicle, and more standard equipment has been included in each variant.
It says the Octavia Ambition has more equipment as standard over the previous equivalent A7 model to the value of $6250.
