2017 Skoda Octavia - First Drive Review

[@ChessMatchups]

I have a humble Skoda Rapid and never had an issue with services including guaranteed refund in case of late delivery. I don't know why Skoda gets bad rep on services front. Yes, servicing is somewhat expensive, parts are not so cheap but hey this is not Maruti.

[@Premkumar-qf4oz]

guys.. 1.8TSI is the best .. moreover the suspension also is better only in this variant.. please test drive this[1.8 TSI] and then decide which variant to buy.. DIESEL - is good only for mileage ..but ride quality is the best in 1.8 TSI...

[@nareshuuu]

good to know this..thanks bhai

[@ponygt6629]

But DARE I say, Skoda needs the new Fabia in India badly specially with the 1.2 TSi + Manual and 1.5 TDi+ manual and DSG, Otherwise Skoda WILL DIE IN INDIA

OVERDRIVE review is so much more informative then the AUTOCAR review. AUTOCAR really needs to pull up its socks. It seems very restricted in its information that it puts out regarding car reviews. Keep up the good work OVERDRIVE and keep improving with time. Best wishes

Skoda needs to add more options like they do in Europe, the alloy options available in Europe is simply amazing. upsell guys..more margins for you and more choices for the consumer.

@Overdrive Good Content. Liked it. The tucson vs hexa vs compass vs xuv was good too esp the tabular comparisons. Consider adding the boot view and spec to the review.

[@Tharman8787]

love the build quality others are next..

[@ankitraturi2219]

do not show us proper rear seat & boot space in this review ?

[@dolstendesouza4785]

I can't wait to c da Karoq... gud review as always

[@mirajpatel9080]

What is better option to go with Octavia or elantra? For diesel and automatic

[@mirajpatel9080]

For diesel and automatic

[@Premkumar-qf4oz]

miraj patel.... octavia is better.. Elantra is boring

[@MrGanmay]

Miraj Patel Hyundai's Crdi is certainly kore refined and punchy than VW's TDI engine. Also the fact that current Octavia's AT variant is 2-3 lakhs expensive than the elantra's AT. (prices varying because of GST discounts)

[@rahulsivadas8405]

Dont compare elantra with Octavia!! Octavia is miles ahead

[@sasank9362]

Miraj Patel Octavia anyday

[@zakishaikh84]

wowowowowowow thank you for reviewing

[@aakash4286]

The split headlamps seem to be the online deal breaker.

[@nandeeshrai5234]

Looks really solid. has this hit the showrooms already?

[@sushovannayek9816]

I Like this Car...

[@devinrai]

the thing with the new headlamps is they look awful on light colored octavias like white or silver but they look really really awesome on darker colors like blue, black, red etc.

[@Mickey-ul2kp]

Very good review 😉

[@MadhuryaKakati]

Good review!

[@Myviewpointnoted]

nice review

[@DrKaranDeepSingh]

strangely no mention of the price

[@MrGanmay]

Karan Singh It hasn't been officially launched yet. All the manufacturers usually increase the price around 60-80k for minor facelifts, but GST is supposed to decrease the prices in this category by the same amount. So, expect it to be priced quite similar to current model.

[@deepankyadav1910]

A person in amritsar towed octavia via bull. Thats what you give to your customer

[@Dpak1980]

They ditched the electric blue color

[@wealthdime]

1st! Love from Nepal

[@vishnu_m_p2887]

those headlamps spoiled the party...😥😥

[@manishk3740]

new octavia face gives a hinch of Mitsubishi lancer.

[@rostovondon203]

[@regularjoe9032]

[@Raik468]

Acting monopoly... And prices are way too higher almost 30 lacs..

[@stevemartis97]

Why oh why such ugly headlights? Great features but should have kept the same headlights.

[@PhilippeSong]

Bad car, I have bought a car Octavia 2017, after half year, there are lots of harmful emission interior in the car and bad for health and Shanghai VW has no solution and feedback for this at the beginning. at last, they officially said that Shanghai VW will replace the front soundproof cotton for free of charge, but, lately, the problem have been happened again. I hate Octavia, Skoda.

[@parasv2346]

cabin is not better than elantra

[@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug6773]
