The Czech automobile manufacturer, Skoda Auto has finally revealed its latest car dubbed as the 2017 Skoda Octavia, which features some impressive enhancements and updated styling cues.
The 2017 Skoda Octavia extends a new front bumper with four head lamps that incorporate LED technology. The Skoda logo on the front has been made more prominent and the car looks wider compared to the previous model.
On the inside, the 2017 Octavia offers a new touch-screen infotainment display. The higher grades will include an even larger 9.2-inch display with internet functionality. The safety facilities have been updated too, as the electronic driver aid now features reverse trailer assistance, rear cross traffic alert and a predictive pedestrian alert system with automatic emergency braking.
The 2017 Skoda Octavia is accessible in five engine options, with the range topping 2.0L diesel and a 1.8L TFSI engine which produces up to 184 horsepower. The engines can be mated to either a six-speed manual or a DSG automatic transmission system.
In the future, we might also see a virtual cockpit instrument panel, similar to the Volkswagen Passat and Audi sedans.
The 2017 Skoda Octavia will most likely arrive in the Middle East sometime next year.
