2021 Skoda Octavia L&K - Detailed Drive Review

[@green_life7]

Ladke, I am happy to see your channel grow. I am following you from your earliest days. I always rely on you when it comes to automobiles.

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Thanks a ton

[@blacksparrow1818]

Great review, especially you’re showing the performance of the car too, and what it’s actually capable of

[@ST-hh2pz]

Excellent review with good attention to detail. The best review I have seen of the new Octavia. Keep it up. All the best

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Glad you like it!

[@CoastwoodExports]

At last I found a great review of Octavia. Thank you.

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anukoolthapa]

many jurnos of big automotive houses didn't get a hold of this car this early🧐 nice

[@dhavald4359]

is the there a separate speaker wire than we can cut off to avoid speed alarm? I don't see point of buying 180bhp car when gov forces me to stay below 120kph

[@vinayd2]

How would you compare the driving experience of this with the Jeep Compass petrol automatic? That seems the closest in price is this segment.

[@pranjal1480]

Are bhai ki ground clearance ke baare me btao how is it??? It only have 135mm ground clearance

[@494122]

I have seen 25 plus different review only yours I call one !

[@sayednihal]

A simply claver review, keep the good work up 👍

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@slyrate89]

Is the ground clearance is high enough to handle our Indian roads and potholes during the occasional road trips?

[@vanshssharma]

yup

[@saurabh007007]

Good detailed video Planning to buy but would 137 unladen GC be a problem ? Only concern i have as my drive would mostly be in mumbai or delhi N long distance highway trips mumbai - delhi n so on

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

It is a very, very good car to drive. It can tackle most Mumbai bumps easily with 2 occupants.

[@saurabh007007]

@@SHIFTINGGEARScom thank you. Just that more often this car will have 4 passengers avg weight 70 -75 kg. Not sure if this is best bet or look for alternative . However i love the car n absolutely sold to this one Incase of alternative what do you recommend? If not octavia L&K

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

For the same price, you can also consider the Jeep Compass. Spacious for 4, ample ground clearance and good to drive. No problems of ground clearance either.

[@dhavald4359]

annoying speed alarm is enough after 120kph. who cares about engine noise

[@rkentertainment3536]

In manual mode, does the car automatically upshift when RPM reaches the red zone? In order to check this do the following: 1. Put in manual mode and stop car on a straight road...Now car will automatically come to 1st gear or you may manually need to put it in 1st gear. 2. Press accelerator fully to the floor. 3. When RPM reaches the red zone (around 6500), it may automatically shift to 2nd gear.

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Yes

[@rkentertainment3536]

@@SHIFTINGGEARScom So it's impossible to run an automatic car in red zone? What if we want to run the car in red zone? It is possible in manual cars, right?

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Yes, this is done to optimise the gearbox, engine performance and also ensure reliability and reduce abuse of the drivetrain.

[@rkentertainment3536]

@@SHIFTINGGEARScom I have an automatic car with manual mode and it also does that in manual mode. Never gets into red zone. I was wondering if all automatic cars are the same. Now my doubt is cleared. Thanks a lot.

[@avh6374]

@@rkentertainment3536 in bmw 3 series, you can do that

[@ARYANSONIECE--]

why skoda india doesn't has any kind of concern regarding pricing on road price should be around 23-24L but actually it is 35L and maintenance is also on a higher side....this will definitely impact on sales of octavia

[@mohamednowfal64]

Top speed?

[@vanshssharma]

220+

[@gunavarma5540]

how to stop that beep sound of speed alert?!bcz its gives irritation 😒

[@vanshssharma]

ikr

[@amimahmad9699]

Nice video

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Thanks

[@SharkFishSF]

Sunroof are a waste of space. With indian climate, it's better to enjoy the sun by just getting out the car 😂

[@solmyr2]

Can you fuckin remove that annoying beeping useless speed sound ? And if you do it comes back up when you restart the car or it remains off ?

[@gurshanwairarh856]

I love you skoda you are crash❤❤❤❤

[@atharsheikh5407]

Overpriced by a gud Rs 10 lacs. Top variant dsg shud not cost a rupee more than 23 lacs OTR. Horrible A.S.S and dat unreliable DSG sums it up..ohh nd no Diesel option further ruins it

[@ishkaranbrar313]

It's not overpriced. It's more expensive than the last gen in the European markets as well. It's more premium and plush than the last gen. You also get the 2L TSI so it costs 29 lakhs. In the UK, the top model can cost upto over 40k GBP who is over 40 lakhs, nearly 50 lakhs.

[@vanshssharma]

bro audi looks way less premium still its over 40lakhs

[@amimahmad9699]

This is a better car..just imagine safari is 25, Creta is 22, xuv is 30 and fortuner 55 lacs!!!!!! All cars are getting overpriced. This one has a new gearbox too!

[@akashkamalanathan4110]

Octavia ❤️

[@rahuld4909]

L&K Doesn't have sunroof.

[@SHIFTINGGEARScom]

Nope.
