New Skoda Octavia Prices Announced

Skoda Ireland has unveiled its new Octavia model line-up, with prices commencing from €19,750 for the Active 1.2-litre hatchback variant. Customers can also finance a new Octavia from €199 per month with 1.9 percent PCP. The Octavia is ŠKODA’s top performing model in the Irish market and has been in the top four Irish selling car models for the past two years running.

The new Octavia sees a number of exterior styling changes that encompass the new ŠKODA design language. These include the new front-end radiator grille, which has been expanded with the introduction of additional headlights with a crystalline look, and wider air inlets with a honeycomb structure in the redesigned bumper for a more dynamic look.

Speaking today, Cathal Kealey, PR Manager at ŠKODA Ireland, commented: “The Octavia has always been the heart and soul of ŠKODA in Ireland. It embodies all the brands strengths such as interior space, practicality, design quality, simply clever features and above all, value for money and the new Octavia is no different. Feedback to date has been extremely positive and customers are excited for the fresh styling and enhanced features of the new Octavia.“ The new Octavia will continue with the same trimline structure of Active, Ambition and Style specification levels with the Ambition model gaining new LED taillights, electric folding mirrors and a new reversing camera now as standard. The top Style trimline will now benefit from a new front grill and chrome detailing in addition to the impressive 9.2” Columbus Navigation & Infotainment system which comes as standard on the Style model.

The new Octavia comes with an abundance of Connectivity features as standard such as Smartlink+. This smartphone integration system containing Apple Car Play and Google Android Auto is now available as standard from the Ambition trimline. The Columbus Navigation & Infotainment system which is standard on the Style trimline also comes with an additional 4G LTE SIM card slot to enable a high speed Wi-Fi hotspot within the car (data plans sold separately) and a host of additional connected services from ŠKODA Connect.

The new generation of electronic assistance systems makes driving the upgraded ŠKODA OCTAVIA even safer and more comfortable.
