Hi Steemians!
In the autumn of 2016, Octavia of the current, third generation has experienced restyling, which resulted in a very controversial" four-eyed " design of the front, which was broken a lot of copies. The then chief designer of the Czech company Joseph Kaban resigned a few months after the premiere, but even with a "spoiled face" Octavia remained the best-selling model of the Czech company. In Russia, however, it is, according to July statistics, will soon overtake Kodiaq, but the leadership In C-class Octavia is likely to retain.
Alan Fava, Director of sales and marketing of the company Skoda, in an interview with British magazine Auto Express said about what will be the new Octavia. According to him, the fourth generation model will debut in early 2020 and will become a real work of art. From which we can conclude that the design of the new Octavia has been approved, and Oliver, Stefanie, the current chief designer of Skoda, has taken into account admitted its predecessor of error, that is, does not want to antagonize the target audience a stylistic exercise. At the same time, it is known that the fourth generation Octavia will receive a pronounced three-volume sedanoid profile, but it will remain a lift with a spacious and practical trunk.
The basis of the new product will be the modernized all-Volga vagen platform MQB, and the most running engines will be a petrol 1.5 TSI and a completely new diesel 1.5 TDI, which will be equipped with a 48-volt hybrid dove in the form of a starter generator and a compact lithium-ion battery. Hybridization should give good environmental performance and reduce the tax burden on European buyers. A side effect is the reduction of fuel consumption. But the price of new Octavia is likely to grow.
