2021 Skoda Octavia first drive review | Compared with Hyundai Tucson | Sedan vs SUV | evo India
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
After many delays the all new Skoda Octavia has been launched in India. It is available only with the 2 litre TSI turbo petrol engine and 7 speed DSG gearbox and we have tested the top-of-the-like L&K variant. Exclusively we have also compared it with the Hyundai Tucson to find out if the Octavia is still relevant against all the SUVs that have eaten into market share of D segment sedans. Watch our exclusive comparison test and let us know whether you think a car makes more sense than an SUV.

Excellent review! Pros: Softer suspension High quality interiors Cons: Ridiculous pricing No sunroof No ventilated seats No 360 camera Softer handling No diesel Wow factor missing! My verdict: No doubt a very good car. 35 lakh on road mumbai. Overpriced and under equipped. Cars costing nearly half this amount have better equipment.

When other reviews kept stressing on the absence of a sunroof, I knew EvoIndia and Sirish sir will be different. Great review, but I think the comparison should have been with another sedan of the same price point, or a Jeep Compass, if you're going with an SUV.
I genuinely think that the Compass would have been a better face for SUVs here. Not only that has a more sophisticated AWD system but also great handling dynamics. The new Compass is also a lot swankier than the Tucson! Great comparison Sirish sir 👍

You will not believe that we compared these two cars 3 yrs ago and decided to buy our Octy and never looked back. Octy is still surviving the SUV onslaught becoz of the quality, handling and performance.
I am à fan of Octavia since its first gen. Really good review. 👍 I was just a bit irritated with the 80kmph buzzer which really kicked multiple times. I can feel your pain hearing it multiple times which affects the driving pleasure for sure...
I would consider Octavia over Tucson any day but having said that the new Octavia is overpriced, the top model at 25.99 would have been great
When anchor said.. "Hyundai tucson is the best suv under 30 lakh price tag" I was like... "YES... thatswhy no one is buying it😂😂😂" When it comes to skoda... They lost it in terms of pricing... 34lakh onroad for D segment sedan is big NO-NO unless its an audi, BMW or merc. Todays comparo was more like pitching a upcoming flop sedan against already flopped overpriced Hyundai tucson... 😂😂😂

The diesel Tucson is a wonderful machine; not sure why people keep underestimating it. No doubt the Compass is a very capable SUV but the diesel engine and 8 speed gearbox combo in Tucson is simply better than the 9 speed auto gearbox of Compass. Also the diesel engine in Compass is less refined than Tucson. Although I am personally still inclined towards Compass because of the overall road presence and awesome interiors, but may still end up owning the Tucson considering the comfortable ride and smooth driving.
I think 20 -25 L would have kept the octy in the battle with the mid size SUVs. But 25 -29L? I think it's a miss

You get a superb for the price of Octavia.. it's the same engine
Great video and extremely relevant as customers who have a budget of Rs 30 - 35 lacs would be looking at all options in this price range, whether it be SUVs or cars! Another good option to look at in this price range would be the Compass Model S. I can't help but feel that Skoda have missed the boat with the pricing, and the reasons are many: (1) For the price of a petrol Octavia, customers can buy the fully loaded AWD diesel versions of the Tucson and Compass. The diesel engines are more fuel efficient than the Skoda petrol along with the benefits of All Wheel Drive. (2) Both the Compass and the Tucson have panoramic sunroofs, and these are very popular with all the family members! (3) Skoda cars have very low re-sale values, due mostly to the very high cost of spares. Reliability is also an issue with Skoda, mostly with regard to the automatic gear box transmission, but also with the engines. Problems do crop up after 5 years or so due to engine oil problems (apparently the turbo chargers are one of the culprits for this) and so engine oil should be checked at frequent intervals and customers should not wait for the prescribed service intervals. Based on the above, a maximum on road price for the Octavia L&K should have been 26 to 27 lacs given that the Tucson Diesel AWD GLS model is available for Rs 31 lacs on road. Paying Rs 35 lacs for the Octavia which is going to be worth Rs 5 lacs after five years needs to be considered carefully. Don't get me wrong - I love driving Octavias (having owned one myself), but the gap between heart and mind is too wide now!

Most people in the comment section keep mentioning Compass is better than Tucson. The fact of the matter is that Tucson and Compass both are equally good with Tucson being slightly better overall. The issue is that as indians we don't tend associate Hyundai with expensive cars whereas world over Hyundai delivers cars at all entry points. Take US/Canada as a market, Compass is fricking total failure, whereas Tucson has down quite well. As indians we like Compass as it comes from JEEP whereas Tucson comes from hyundai. We like compass because we want to show we bought a JEEP. Btw, the new Tucson will again sell like hot cakes in the American market, whereas Compass still won't.

I feel lucky to own the RS230. By the time 2021 RS245 launched in India as CBU I'm guessing its gonna cost 50 Lakh all inclusive.
In this case however the skoda built is way better than hyundai. Skoda does not rattle after 5,10 years. In case of safety too skoda/vw are better than hyundai.If you want features buy hyundai and if you a want a solid car buy the skoda. To add skoda has laser welding,6 stage paint finish,galvanized body, chassis made by hot forged steel, more sound insulation. Evo should point this out to all car enthusiasts.

If you are a driving enthusiast, a sedan is what puts a smile on your face always. Period.
The new Skoda Octavia is quite expensive. It’s a nice car though. Thing is from a pragmatic daily use ability and need for higher ground clearance, stand point, and given this price point, most buyers will buy an SUV. The thing to remember is, the luggage space is useful for sure. But most buyers will be looking for passenger space and a commanding position both in front and in the rear. Apart from that, our countrymen except for a few more discerning ones, generally tend to prefer gizmos and electronics and bling of the Asian cars to the solid reassurance and safety of an European car. And there is always the perception of price, service costs and the like, where the Europeans have a reputation of being more expensive…

Sedans have always been my choice & I would definitely pick the Skoda over the Tuscon. The Octavia for me seems to be the better proposition because of its build quality which the Hyundai can't match, the suspension setup ( it's fine but a slightly firmer setup would have been much better), the performance is quite impressive ( although I would have wanted a diesel for that kick in the pants feel & better economy as well), that DSG gearbox is superb ( although not very reliable). I am also not a very big fan of sunroofs as they tend to heat the car on sunny days, thus forcing the AC unit to work harder. I just wish if Skoda had offered a diesel engine & ventilated seats & priced it a bit sensibly, then it would have been a great deal. Nevertheless, it still makes for a good choice

The Tucson is a CKD and it's quality is nothing like the other Hyundai cars. The Octavia is overpriced for what it offers and with rising fuel prices, doesn't make sense to get a petrol, especially when it is a 2L turbo. The most important factor is petrol cars are more susceptible to fuel quality changes.
Last model of the octavia also gets multilink rear suspension It's differs in the diesel variant only.
Unless you have a crossover that has 200+ mm ground clearance and still handles close to a Sedan only then will it come close to be called an SUV where the advantage is prominent
Sirish Sir is the best car reviewer..... No competition... The presentation, the details only the technical points and little about interior design... I have followed Sirish from Overdrive..
First reviewer in India who can actually do the right pronunciation of the Octavia. It's Oct-tuh-vee-yah and not Oct-AA-Viya
I would definitely say octavia Everyone is saying octavia is over priced let me explain 1. 2.0 Tsi with dual clutch electronic transmission (superb does not offer electronic swift) 2.190 bhp (superb also same) 3. Its Cbu unit (which means brand should pay more tax to goverment ) This three cost higher To Cut down the price skoda will definitely provide 1.5 tsi to India which is already offered in kushaq Just wait sure its going to happen. 1.5 Tsi with manual gear and dual clutch electronic transmission will be future additional to octavia line up in India zac Hollis will definitely do this @evo India whats your expectations?
I admired sedans right from my childhood days, in fact my dream car then was the Honda Civic(8th gen 1.8VTEC black colour). At present I am an owner of a black Hyundai Tucson 4WD. I have realised that in the Indian context it is the SUVs which make more sense (although Tucson is a SUV which is the most sedan like to drive in its class IMO which was the reason I chose it over the sedans and other SUVs)

I couldn't agree more. I have 2 sedans. They are comfortable and fast, but on bad roads, when fully loaded, they tend to induces some anxiety. IMHO, the Tucson 4WD is as closest we can get to a reliable sedan in the SUV market. It is powerful, comfortable, spacious and has the reliability of a Hyundai. And from what I have seen, it is nothing similar in its quality with its younger siblings. And It drives pretty well too. Would definitely get a Tucson 4WD when I will be looking for an upgrade.

Although many say how good the Compass or Tiguan is, the A&SS and FCA and VWAG cars are no where close to a Hyundai or a Maruti.

Nice review as always Sir. Well, honestly speaking, I would anyway prefer a car from a one lower or one upper segment than these two.

Thanks😊😊
The diesel and petrol prices are so similar these days. Buying a diesel seems stupid unless you have a very high daily running.
Sedan as a first car doesn’t make sense for our Indian roads. But a keen driver prefer sedan over any other segment due to driving dynamics. Skoda superb is really a charm to drive

China has Octavia Pro, which is the long wheelbase Octy. It is made for China as exporting cars is hard in China. Internatonally, the Octavia doesn't get a sunroof.
People who can afford only one vehicle in the family would obviously go for a SUV today considering our road conditions. If I had 30 lakhs to spend, I would buy Compass diesel without any second thought.
I may be wrong but if the engine is rated at 187hp then it's on regular fuel, yes high octane 95 suits this engine better but power and smoothness will increase further not as said in the video that to get 187 you need high octane
Now that XUV 700 is out, it would be interesting to see a comparison of Octavia with XUV 700 Petrol AT.

I have seen so many reviews of Octavia and no car reviewer has openly criticised the pricing of this car. Of course, I am not a car expert and no way I want to question you expertise but here is the thing, on road price of Skoda Octavia L&K in Bengaluru is 36.64 Lakhs and on road price of Jeep Compass 4X4 diesel automatic top variant (Model S) is 35.88 Lakhs. Not that I am SUV crazy but I think Octavia's price in not justified. Also would love to see evo India make a comparison video between Octavia and Jeep Compass.
Id say octavia because im a car guy but practicality vise.. I think most ppl would buy the Tucson. And i guess we all agree that a sedan is more fun to drive right?

@@aravindhsm1287 totally agree. The Tucson is extremely underrated. But once you drive the diesel with the 8 speed automatic you will realize its a match made in heaven. I think the gearbox is almost at a level of the ZFs used in much expensive BMWs. The Compass 9 speed gearbox comparatively feels lazy although you can get get used to it after some driving. But definitely the engine is not as refined as the one in Tucson. However no doubt the interior of Compass feels much more modern.
Evo India - I'm in a dilemma. The Octavia Style or the Superb Sportline? I'm asking this only from a ride and handling perspective. You mentioned a bit about the suspension in the review. How does it compare to the Superb Sportline?
Truth is you cannot pit a sedan against a suv. There's no comparison period.
Had our roads been pothole free, would've definitely preferred the Octavia.
Can you please justify price differential between Octavia and Superb, both L&K?
Scoda Octavia automatic Vs jeep compass 4*4 automatic, both under same price range , compare both then viewers decide which one is best
Loved this review. Soo casual. Great to listen. Different from that professional nonsense.
Love your work! You should have chosen the Jeep Compass instead of the Tuscon
बेहतरीन एडिटिंग बेहतरीन वीडियो बेहतरीन कार 😊👌
Do you think the ground clearance is high enough to be stress free on the occasional road trips, where you are bound to encounter bad Indian roads with potholes and oversized bumps?
Never expected this kind of review. Fabulous review. A comprehensive one. I strongly agree with the Fuel Quality thing in the country. It really gets annoying if one cannot get the right quality of fuel for a car of this stature. Out of the two showcased here, my pick would be the Octavia for sure. I still remember how Octavia rivalled the Chevrolet Optra. Optra was a worthy competitor. Both the cars were launched in the same era & Octavia moved ahead with full throttle. Thank you once again for this Brainstorming Review. I sincerely loved it.❤
You said Tucson is best in 20 to 30 lakh bracket, can you please help me with its comparison with other SUVs
As far as i know the acceleration is 8.0 , i hope i am wrong as i am considering to buy this one.
The thinking is obvious. They're going to phase out the superb. Bring it back with an update for 45L. Like the Camry hybrid. Don't think the Octavia can compete with the C class and 3 series just yet though.
Wow!! so crisp and polished review.. your channel deserves atleast a million more subscribers. unlike the channel who says "left foot on the brake, right foot on the accelerator and there I shit".

Make video on sonet vs Verna Diesel
Skoda Octavia @ on road price for L&K Variant is Rs.32.50 Lacks…., this is not worth it anyway. 7 km per Ltr. mileage I found when I have took test drive of it. Skoda Octavia is thinkable when it comes to price range between 18 to 25 Lacks on road. 32.50 Lacs on road for this car is totally meaningless.
Men the octavia is something else looks like a bond car this is SUV killer in years.
Camper to Tucson & New tata safari in tht which pritical buy video was great 👌🏼👌🏼😊😊🍫🍫🍫
