Czech automaker Skoda will be launching the Octavia Black Edition sometime in 2017. It is believed that the upcoming model will get a few cosmetic upgrades while mechanically it will continue to be powered by existing engine options. However, it is believed that the new Octavia might also get the Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) system.
Though exact technical specifications for the upcoming model is not known for now, we believe that the Octavia Black edition might continue to be powered by the 1.4-litre TSI and 1.8-litre TSI petrol engine options which generate 147bhp of power and 174bhp of power respectively. The diesel trim might continue being powered by the 2.0-litre TDI engine which generates about 140bhp of power. The engines will be offered in manual and automatic transmission options.
The Octavia black edition is expected to be offered in special black shade with few cosmetic tweaks in the form of bigger bumpers and darkened alloys. The car might also get blacked out headlamps and tail lamp internals. The DCC system helps in adjusting the engine responsiveness, steering weight, softening the car dampers and gearbox reaction time to manage different driving situations. It might also offer three driving modes - Comfort, Normal and Sport.
Details about its interior is not known for now, however it is believed that the vehicle might get the new touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, steering mounted audio controls and electrically adjustable and retractable wing mirrors. The car may get specially designed premium upholstery with black elements. More details about the vehicle will be known at a later date.
