2021 Skoda Octavia first drive review | Compared with Hyundai Tucson | Sedan vs SUV | evo India

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.

Which would you rather have, the Skoda Octavia or an SUV in the same price bracket?

[@nithinjs88]

Jeep compass!!!

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!

An excellent reviews for both perspectives an enthusiastic and a chauffeur driven perspective. That's what we want.

[@raghvendrasingh7426]

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!

[@ritheshnayak]

Not to forget that Hyundai offers 30k or 3yrs free service on Tucson. They replace any parts which can go wrong due to mechanical defects. My friend replaced his all 4 tyres within 2nd year as there was some issue with the car and they could not sort it with alignment or balancing it.

[@AdithyaReddyify]

Best video on the Octavia yet. Becoming a regular expectation with EVO India! I do feel the compass would've been a more apt rival over the Tucson.

[@evoIndia]

Thank you for watching!

[@ashisbanerjee7496]

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.

[@jimmybindra]

Oh boy! I hv never heard such a peaceful review ..driving n speaking with an equal ease. Very nice as am on the edge of buying this car (Octavia) n the anxiety level is already very high !!

Thanks😊😊

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.❤

[@classics1o]

[@megatoytime273]

Nice comparo, would be great if you can share the same between new tucson and Octy

[@MegaSlytherine]

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

[@adityasundar324]

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.

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 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)

[@evoIndia]

Yep, makes sense!

[@adityasundar324]

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.

[@aryaansarkar2570]

@@adityasundar324 Even though its much better than other Hyundai Cars sold in India it's a shame that it didn't recieve the sucess it deserved(same case as erstwhile Santa Fe, primarily because people don't want to spend that much for a Hyundai as they can get more premium brand for same price). Its 2L diesel with 8 speed AT is a match made in heaven. Definitely worth considering:-)

[@adityasundar324]

@@aryaansarkar2570 Absolutely true. People either want Big cars or Fancy brands and those well deserving cars under perform as a result and eventually go out of production. Hopefully the next generation of the Tucson is successful. I can stress on how much the reliability factor plays on cars priced over 30L and the Tucson fits the bill. 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.

[@shankarbalan3813]

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…
