Skoda Octavia (2017) : First Drive : PowerDrift

[@powerdriftofficial]

Good Morning #NotificationSquad! What are your thoughts on the updated Skoda Octavia?

[@rohanrajebhosale9097]

PowerDrift hiii first viewer 😋😍🤗🤗

[@akash-rh8xp]

PowerDrift hey

[@firstlast-xk1ui]

PowerDrift I COMMENTED BEFORE WATCHING

[@sreevalsp519]

gdmorng PowerDrift 💗 #notificationsquad

[@saiakhilvem7622]

PowerDrift I think they tried to make the headlamps look similar to the old(2011 I guess) Mercedes Benz E class. Like any other Skoda, it is loaded with awesome features and the engine is great too, but I liked the headlamp design of the previous model

[@cherokee1781]

Skoda makes really solid cars. They should close down their service centers and integrate higher models with Audi Service and Rapid with probably VW.

[@sonuchamp29]

Mondays are no longer boring.....thank to #powerdrift #rohanalbal GUYZ PLZ CAN I GET THAT PDARMY T-SHIRT🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@powerdriftofficial]

You can click here to get it - bit.do/PDMerch

[@Ok-hm1ho]

To all these people saying Škoda ruined the design by split front headlamps! Just wait till you see the car in real! It is very adorable. Trust me I've seen it.

[@abithc.n3698]

Unfamous Dude Yeah it sure looks premium!!!

[@subodhranjan2944]

The first drive should be such that it explains the car briefly, and yet, leave the viewers wanting for the complete review. PowerDrift hits that spot bang on ! Hats off guys !

[@sagargaigawale]

Skoda is like HTC of Cars, excellent products but lacks Durability and After sales. The 2017 version looks Great. Hope it lives up to the expectation.

[@nazzalgrylls1403]

it's 2022 now and probably it sucks now

[@rajavel003]

Classy car with Classy content.... ☺️

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you Rajavel! :)

[@adityacbj]

Thank you so much for that last piece of info in the trivia about the VRS! I have been trying to confirm this for so long and finally a reliable source tells the car is launching here soon! Thank you PowerDrift

[@powerdriftofficial]

Welcome Aditya! :D

[@sidmats353]

Beautifully covered Rohan. Short and to the point. 👌

[@nitheshdurairaj5692]

Reply quick plz Why suggest 2.0 diesel.? Is the 1.8 tsi good at drag or 2.0 tdi..? I want to have the quickest one..which one is it?

[@adityasarath4914]

I love this guy,The best part with Rohan is that, he would say that point which we really expect to say, unlike some other reviewers.The slightly bulged rear side ,they mentioned it helps for cruising and aerodynamics, Bud did you feel the car slacking proper back damping while cruising above 120Kmph? Now, you guys should put up a comparison with Elantra. Well, many people are waiting for it.

[@punitbulchandani6765]

Like always fabulous reveiw, you guys put things together is such a way that even skoda octavia looks better then any of Audi's and merc's in current present in India.

[@write2vysakh]

Man, the 2016 Skoda Octavia itself had me drooling over when I saw it at my office parking lot. But this one is just even more refined n better looking. Love the car. Love the review. Thanks for the Crisp n Short Review PD. Keep em coming. #hugefanofpdreviews

[@_g_p_8879]

thanks you PD !!!! d most awaiting car video to me is finally from u !!!!.... No words im damn crazy over OCTAVIA after MUSTANG.... That to its special to see from PD !!!!!!!!....

[@adithyashebbale4180]

[@powerdriftofficial]

Much appreciated Adithya! :D

[@amrutdhumad2195]

PD you really make us to fall in love with cars. This time i loved this octavia particularly the split arrangement of head lamps looks classy.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Haha! So how many times have you fallen in love? ;)

[@amritsunny87]

Nice review. Always follow powerdrift reviews. I have one doubt, with all those features skoda octavia is one of the best choice and value for money, but if we have to decide between skoda superb style manual petrol variant and skoda octavia style plus 1.8 tsi which one will be better choice ?

[@adarsha1771]

which car should i go for i want a diesel variant Hyundai elantra or Skoda Octavia 2017 model..?

[@utkarshshukla6963]

Adarsh A skoda hands down

[@rajeshnair2143]

How is the handling compared to the older model?

[@prasadgundi15]

Always watching youtube notifications if there are any pd videos and they always are the best!!!! Be the same #powerdrift

[@sagarshah1964]

How was the car regarding noise isolation in the cabin ?? Is it better than older Octavia in terms of cutting noise ?

[@powerdriftofficial]

We shall you more in the comprehensive review, Sagar. Do stay tuned.

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

You always get the perfect shots of it! :D

[@prajyoy133]

I was getting late for office. Saw the youtube feed at the last minute. New PD video, OCTAVIAAAAAAAA. Office can wait.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Haha! Who knows, maybe your boss did the same thing too! :P

[@SayonBiz]

I know I'm seeing this almost 2 years late, but is there any chance of a VRS coming out soon? Or was the 2017 supply the only one ?

[@lukejoseph9665]

@Powerdrift, please post the comprehensive review. Have been waiting for it :)

[@nikhilalex5525]

thanks #powerdrift for the review.... looking forward for your detailed review and experience in this new Octavia

[@anunayamrit1585]

Skoda has never disappointed us and same goes with powerdrift !

[@yashgodbole8955]

what is fatigue alert in cars... i love Skoda and specially m fan of this channel.... love u guys.... one day i would love to work with u..i m always curious about your every video.. keep doing

[@avinashclt]

Based on a combination of sensory inputs (like the steering angle deviation, throttle/brake inputs etc), the vehicle determines if the driver is drowsy or not, and provides a warning signal/sound on the dash. Various OEMs have different algorithms / sensor combination for determining the same, but in general these are called 'fatigue detection' systems :)

[@azurecoast45]

At first I hated the new headlights but it's grown on me. It's definitely different without being lairy, and in a sea of cars trying to look good and missing the mark, that's what I want, cool and classy but understated. Furthermore, you can trust the Skoda to punch well above it's weight in 'class'.

[@vsnuair]

am closely following powerdrift and the octavia 2020 due launch next month. Does octy's ground clearence tackle potholes and poorly designed in town speed breakers?

[@praveenp02]

Cherishing the ownership of a month old 1.8TSi, no regrets for having skipped the facelift. #PD, cud u plz confirm if there has been any changes in the suspension?

[@MayurPhadte]

Own a 1.4 TSI, mileage is horrible if driven aggressively.

[@avinashclt]

@Praveen: Increased rear track, perhaps slightly revised springs rates/dampers also to accommodate the change. Nothing major.

[@mbda007]

octavia VRS is it a petrol variant ? how it differ than the current 1.8L Petrol...

[@powerdriftofficial]

Internationally, vRS is available in 2.0L diesel and petrol engine with bumped up power.

[@pranayjaiswal4457]

man i have been watching your series for quit a long time i have a question does skoda octavia 1.8 petrol maintance cost is very expensive ???

[@ViralIndiaPvtLtd]

@PowerDrift What about the base variant of the Octavia with 1.4L Turbo Petrol Engine that gives about 150 bhp? Is it better than petrol 1.8L Corolla Altis G and Elentra 2.0L SX MT?

[@powerdriftofficial]

We shall be able to tell you more about the car once we can comprehensively test it. Do stay notified until then. :)

[@parasv2346]

what is the ground clearance of 2017 skoda Octavia

[@RahulAllanMedia]

The BGM is next level. Great Work as usual brothers.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you Rahul! :D

[@ratkutti]

Amazing camera angles!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you Karthikeyan!

[@vn26601]

Beginning of the year I read Volkswagen planned to localize the EA288 2.0L diesel engine. Is this already happening? Do you know the location %of octavia? Or is completely ckd

[@SathishKumar-vq1zh]

nice quick glance as always.. why are you guys staying away from comparison reviews. if I'm not wrong last time I saw was xcent and amaze..

[@powerdriftofficial]

Here's our recent comparo, Sathish - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y53Poplsjqugh68

[@vsk906]

[@roopan123]

Neat. Stylish. Crisp, and to the point! Well done Rohan!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad you enjoyed watching it, Sivaroopan.

[@thethriller307]

Skoda octavia is the best in its class. Your Videography is superb

[@harshitmalav8354]

[@powerdriftofficial]

Hey hey! Interesting car it would be! :)

[@krunalpatel4829]

Mr. Everywhere and kodiaq

[@nastyscorp]

Mr. Everywhere yes, but no it'll not happen.

[@Akbranchops]

Truely unbiased review!!! Loved it! 😊😊

[@MultiRON63]

Brilliant 🎥 angles and light. But even if we wait for VRS it's going to be way costlier than 2 liter diesel variant isn't it?

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you Sanket, and yes it might be more expensive but it will be even more fun, won't it? :D

[@devanidarsh9493]

When’re you guys doing the detailed road test of 1.8 TSI ! I am about to purchase the same ! Please share some information about the actual mileage in the city

[@powerdriftofficial]

We shall tell you more when we get the media car from Skoda. Stay tuned until then!

[@surajjain2984]

[@powerdriftofficial]

Welcome squad!

[@sanchitbansal449]

Who drove the car in this first drive review?

[@rajwade695]

What about the Octavia Vrs??

[@powerdriftofficial]

It should come sometime later.

[@rahulr1992]

hello hello hello, if somebody at the PD office is listening...... if i am right, a few coprehensive reviews of various new models are pending.. Any updates about those ??

[@pratikpanchal2994]

hey mate #notificationsquad any update about hyundai i30??♥

[@livelearn2655]

First thing first, Hated those split headlamps. Just can't get past this. The car does look top notch premium when it comes to interiors. But then, it always did.

[@sarunkuriakose7512]

Not for boys, it's for men

[@Vishalkurian]

Sarun Kuriakose the new front is more boyish than manly.

[@sarunkuriakose7512]

+Vishal Kurian Nop, this car is even designed for premium range customers mainly business men, executives, officials etc. From the front side angle view it even resembles some Cadillac cars (Just my opinion 🙂)

[@Vishalkurian]

Sarun Kuriakose cardillac??🙄😌

[@sarunkuriakose7512]

+Vishal Kurian +Vishal Kurian i don't know why, may be strange. but few weeks back. I saw it on a website and it's the first thing that came into my mind. i can't explain why, may be the side characters when we look from the front corner (Light and that cutting on front).

[@chiranth_a]

what about the rear breaks they are drum or disc....?

[@Noobyolo89]

They should release the Octavia wagon too

[@powerdriftofficial]

That would be really interesting! :D

[@chiruatp662]

nice car and nice review

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks Penikalapati!
