Skoda Octavia Facelift Teased Ahead of February Debut

Skoda Auto has teased the facelift of the fourth-gen Octavia. The Czech manufacturer has revealed that the refreshed Octavia will make its global debut in February. Skoda also recently revealed a new generation of the Superb late last year. 

The facelifted Octavia will have design changes and as per the teaser shared by Skoda, it will have a new layout for the lighting elements up front. The current-gen Octavia has L-shaped LED lighting elements, while the facelift will have inverted L-shaped signatures at the corner with a V-shaped element in the centre. Furthermore, the teaser also shows an illuminated Skoda logo but it remains to be seen if the production-spec model will get it. 

Apart from this, not much else is known about the Octavia facelift. Expect it to have a redesigned interior and it could also feature Skoda’s new Smart Dials to control the HVAC and other functions in the car. It could also come with ADAS, which debuted on the fourth-gen Superb. 

In terms of powertrains, the current Octavia comes with a variety of powertrain options including petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Its high-performance version, the Octavia vRS, also gets a hybrid powertrain as well as all-wheel drive.
