2020 Skoda Octavia Spied Undisguised For The First Time In India

Skoda has started testing of the next generation Octavia on the Indian roads and now courtesy of Autocar India we have images of the 2020 Octavia completely undisguised. The fourth-generation Skoda Octavia made its global debut in Prague in November 2019 and it gets a whole host of exterior and interior changes in response to the growing competition in the premium sedan space.Going by the pictures the Octavia sports chrome garnished front grille with black vertical slats, sleeker non-split LED headlamps with integrated LED Daytime Running Lights, redesigned bumper with black housing stretching across the width, horizontally positioned LED fog lamps and pronounced bonnet lines and creases upfront.The profile of the Octavia remains untouched but the sedan gets new 17-inch ‘Rotare Aero’ alloy wheels and sportier character lines. As expected for India-spec cars from European brands, there also appears to be a slightly raised ride height on this Octavia, which equals to raised ground clearance compared to the model sold overseas.Over at the back,  the Octavia gets SKODA lettering embossed on the more sculpted tailgate, brand new LED tail lamps ditching the C-shaped design, and a revised bumper. Based on a reworked version of the Group’s MQB platform, the new Skoda Octavia is 19mm longer and 15mm wider than its predecessor. The fourth-gen Skoda Octavia is expected to launch in early 2021.(Image: Autocar India)
