      Skoda dealers in the country have started accepting bookings for the 2017 Octavia ahead of its anticipated launch in June 2017. Booking amount for the new model is estimated to go up to Rs 1 lakh. An official announcement from the automaker in this regard might only be forthcoming by the end of this month. Mechanically the vehicle will continue to be powered by existing engine options, and any changes made will be limited to cosmetic upgrades.

      In terms of design, the 2017 Skoda Octavia gets a revised signature butterfly grille and new split headlamps with LED DRLs. The front bumper has been tweaked with strong bold lines, a wide airdam and a chrome strip running along the width along with horizontal LED foglamps on either side. The sides get revised ORVMs and new alloy wheels. At the rear, the new model also gets new LED taillamps and a revised boot lid. As for the interior, although most of it is likely to remain as the current version, the new model will get a larger 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system and improved upholstery.

      Under the hood, the new Skoda Octavia will be available in petrol as well as diesel engine options.
