Launch Alert! The Skoda Octavia has been priced at Rs 25.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Style variant and Rs 28.99 lakh for the L&K. What do you think of the Octavia's pricing?

Sounds expensive but can be paid for a car which is almost an Audi A4. Sun roof is a definite miss for an Indian style quotient, reminds me the Tata harrier mistake which made them to lose orders in the first two years after the launch.

Crazy overpriced and that too no petrol option. Having said that, give it time and the octy buffs will get used to the idea of paying this kind of money;)

Over priced

When all other brands seems concerned of building lifted hatchbacks( the so called suvs) here is a brand that still makes proper cars..

Yep

It has raised the bar but it will lower your bank balance...Epic line 😂😂😂

The last sedan standing 😀

Skoda Octavia is not killing the competition, its killing Superb

They increased the price so much... L&K variant's price feels more like paying for a superb.... 🙄

My car feels like a tank even when it 8 years old. Good build quality.

Earlier Superb used to start from ₹20 lakhs 😭

15:13 BTS WAS AWESOME 😃😂😃

Major misses in features like ventilated seats, extendable thigh support, reclining rear seats, panoramic roof, adaptive dampers and with a price point on par with the Superb which has good discounts, Octy is avoidable.

The point is skoda is smart.They know Octavia buyer won't be asking for sunroof.But I expected ventilated seats atleast.otherwise excellent car 👍

Build quality, looks, engine gearbox combination, brand totally its the best brand❤

sunroof is definitely important and expected at this point coz it makes the car airy..!

It's great to see, autocar is trying new camera angles and keeping the shot dynamic...... gives the review more of life.

Skoda cars : Soft on pocket (as compared to other German rivals), heavy on build quality and performance

After plethora Suvs world, nice to see a sedan

B.T.S is a cool addition! it gives you a glimpse of how we all are the same behind our professional roles.

There r many foreign countries now removing sunroof from their vehicles, they have reasons behind it - 1. It reduces structural integrity of the roof. 2. Chances of seepage during monsoon & after a long term use. 3. Due to the increased pollution. 4. Sunroof no longer makes u feel ur car airy, rather it heats up in tropical climate. 5. It increases repair cost of the car after a certain period of time. 6. It decreases the over all steel quality by forming rust. 7. Increase the cost of the car & some driver friendly features could go missing. 8. it is unsafe, because many times children put their upper body out of the sunroof, which is dangerous. 9. Lastly, in India people park their cars under tree or under open sky, so their is a risk of falling object that can break the sunroof & u cannot avoid to drive the car without repairing it......... These r my views, so m happy that Skoda has removed the sunroof......

I wish it had ventilated seats It's a good car overall.

The afforbale luxurious sedan which a driving enthusiast as well as a chauffeur prefers..Benchmark as always

Skoda always make the most sturdy and safest cars and now it come up with new design Great design

Happy to see you again...

The Octavia is quite impressive on most fronts & I like the fact that Skoda hasn't engineered it to be a gizmo on wheels which is something all other manufacturers are doing. It seems to tick all the boxes right, however,I am not sure how effective the middle front aircon vent will be as its positioned a lot lower. Though I am not a fan of sunroofs, it should have been offered as an option because most of the buyers make up their minds based on this particular feature. Nevertheless, its the best bet in this segment because of its riding dynamics, great performance & purists like me will definitely fall for it. Great job Skoda.....!👏👏👏👏🙌😊

It seems that autocar has upgraded their cameras. Videography is on another level. Well done

It's Always a " Master Piece" when ever new Skoda Car is out.

Yay Octavia. My favourite sedan ❤️❤️❤️

Awww babyyy!! That thumbnail only made me happy❤️❤️ really waited for so long..

First impression is just WOW!!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥

Consumers must realise Sedans are still best option due to ride quality, safety and grip. Ground clearance is no more a priority as roads even in rural India are getting better.

How many of you are waiting for Kushaq?

Well it seems that the Czech carmaker is back with a bang! Love the BTS stuff in the end, wasn't expecting it!👍

Gorgeous car in the market righ now❤️ first time I saw this car in black colour I fall in love with it❤️ first car from skoda which I loved so much 😍

Amazing review, as usual. We want to see more BTS

Man oh man, these days, Aircraft technology is coming in cars..Like the shift by wire, taken from Airbus's fly by wire😅

That colour 😍🔥

The last part was hilarious😂🤣

Waiting for Octavia VRS now.

I love your review of all the cars, I find it evey informative. Keep up the good work.

Nice touch of behind the scenes

Eagerly waiting for this review, finally 👍👍

The end was surprisingly amazing😉

The BTS and hopping out of the boot UNCEREMONIOUSLY😂😂 You arent just the best but also hilarious

brilliant review❤️❤️😍😍😍

25 lakhs is too much. In UK you get Octavia for 21 lakhs that to estate version

Post credit clips were also awesome 👍😂 "Upper dipper"

Like petrol price , octys price is also skyrocketing 🤣

After the civic being discontinued. This will rule the segment.

Skoda will always be my absolute favorite !!

Mind blowing interior 🤯♥️

BTS are really amazing 😍 need more!!

After long time we get to see Renuka ji

one of the best reviewer out there..... my fav car is out of budget.

So Sunroof and Seat Ventilation they have kept for the next minor update. Simply Clever SKODA 😁

I loved the BTS, u guys should bring more of them in upcoming videos. "rasta itna kharab hai, aur bich me ye speed breaker"

WOW!!!! My dream car!! Octavia ❤❤😍

The gear shifts by wire I am seeing for the first time in any car 😮😮

BTS-more of that please...... especially in comparisons when journos are taking sides.

Finally, India has a non-badged sedan with a bigger engine. After the exit of Jetta, Passat, Fluence, Accord, Octavia (for a short while), this is really refreshing. Thanks to Autocar for this excellent review. I could almost feel the car. I was a proud owner of Laura 1.8 TSi and loved it. So, this new version is interesting to me. One QUESTION : Does this version have organ style accelerator pedals or the cheaper hanging style, which was used in the outgoing Octavia? Laura had organ style.

Thats a well balanced review. Hope the Style variant is reasonably priced so that one can decide between the Octavia and the Jeep Compass

Gr8 presentation.....jus loved it👍

Thanks for reviewing this beauty in the roads of karjat, my home town.

7:27 Yeah it has all buttons Except the mandatory Traction control button!

I think this is the best channel to watch

Finally!!! A video with 50 FPS

A car that has maintained its fundamental over these years..

This new Octavia is really a ultimate with superb features now.

First of all the review by Renuka and then icing on the cake was BTS 😄

Sunroof and ventilated seats miss biggest mistakes. Expecting new Rapid to be priced above 15 lakhs on road looking at their pricing model.

Last time I checked, Octavia used to sit between the rapid and Superb...

Let's see how long all that tech and drivetrain stand up long term (5years and more). While I tighten my grasp on my 2011 Camry keys.

Who will buy it for 25lks+ that too without sunroof...I wonder when will Skoda learn

The interior looks soo soo soo goooooooood!!!

Nostalgia is reading old autocar issues

BTS awesome, finally we could hear some mumbai hindi from RK. Cool

Great car, lived the BTS

I think it will be a hard task to maintain those interior clean in every day use also miss the Diesel engine.

Am on decemeber 2022.Planning to take a vehícle by jan to march 23.Test drove both superb and octavia and they both stole my heart.Both are in 10lakhs gap.Octavia is more refreshed, superb is with outdated interiors but the look is just superb, driving both cars is awesum. give me clue which is a better option.

That interior is classy👌

Great video thanks😍

Nice review. What the big 'miss' is, is the adaptive cruise control.

I was honestly waiting for this car. Skoda has outdone themselves. But really Skoda should have really put a panoramic Sunroof and 360° camera. It could have been more complete package but still is a Complete package.

Most Good Looking Skoda Octavia Ever 🔥🔥🔥

I would love to see the red rs edition

I wish there was a SEDAN in the 12 lakh - 18 lakh range for SKODA in India next to RAPID & before OCTAVIA.

Fabulous fantastic video 👏 👌

Waiting for the vrs model.

Wow I was waiting for this

Solid sedan and the pricing looks way too hyped but once you sit n drive this beauty it's all worth it and the interior is so premium the only sedan I personally like after honda city 5th generation

Love those alloy wheels.

Welcome back

Finally a perfect for sedan lovers

Renuka's English is so professional and when its comes to Hindi she sounds so cute....!

old split lights were awesome

You may start making separate BTS videos, might turn out really good

BTS... enhanced the flavour of the video atlast

Just watching the video, I noticed a lot of vertical movements of the suspension which means it can feel willowy and not as tight in the handling department.

Feeling lucky. I have the MY2017 Octavia RS. Considering the new Octavia prices, I guess 2021 Octavia RS will cost 45 to 50 Lakhs upon launch.

But one thing without TDI diesel there is no fun in Octavia we miss that rocket engine 😭

Yesterday only i saw same car with same color while driving from Pune to Mumbai.. it seems that some car reviewer only having this car there..😊
