Skoda is expanding the price list of the new Octavia with not only a brand new mild-hybrid version, but also with the plug-in hybrid Octavia iV. Both the Hatchback and the Combi are benefiting from the arrival of the new engine versions.
The delivery range of the new Octavia has been quite limited until now. Skoda Netherlands initially only announced the prices of the First Edition with the 150 hp 1.5 TSI and later added the 110 hp 1.0 TSI to the delivery list. It is now also known what price the importer asks for the mild hybrid and the plug-in hybrid iV.
Octavia 1.4 iV Plug-in Hybrid
We start with the most highly electrified version of the bunch, the plug-in hybrid Skoda Octavia 1.4 iV. It has a 1.4 TSI with 156 hp in the front, which works together with a 102 hp electric motor. The battery pack has a capacity of 13 kWh, good for an electrical WLTP range of 60 kilometers. The Octavia 1.4 iV, which can only be recognized from the outside by a few iV emblems, has a slightly smaller luggage compartment due to the placement of the battery pack. It consumes 450 liters, the Combi kicks it up to 470 liters. The Octavia 1.4 iV Hatchback sprints to a speed of 100 km / h in 7.7 seconds, the Combi takes a tenth longer. The top speed of both types is 220 km / h. The transmission is a DSG automatic.
The Dutch importer asks € 35,690 for the Hatchback 1.4 iV Business Edition and € 37,190 for the Combi 1.4 iV Business Edition. Higher up the ladder is the more fully equipped Business Edition Plus. The Hatchback and Combi cost as 1.4 iV in that gear € 38,190 and € 39,690 respectively.
Mild hybrid
The 110 hp 1.0 TSI, which until now is only available in combination with a manual six-speed gearbox, will be joined by a mild-hybrid version linked to a DSG automatic transmission. This full 1.0 TSI e-TEC DSG motorization is also 110 hp strong, but benefits from a 48v mild-hybrid system and a modest 0.6 kWh battery pack. The Octavia Hatchback 1.0 TSI e-TEC sprints to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. The Combi takes 10.9 counts to do this. The top speed of the Hatchback is 208 km / h, that of the Combi at 202 km / h. Average consumption is 5.0 l / 100 km and 5.2 l / 100 km respectively.
The starting price of the Skoda Octavia Hatchback 1.0 TSI e-TEC DSG is € 29,890. That of the Combi at € 31,390. That amount is for the Ambition version. Prefer the Business Edition? Count on prices of € 28,990 and € 30,490 for the Hatchback and Combi, respectively.
Natural gas
But there is more news. Both the Octavia Hatchback and Octavia Combi will be available with a 131 hp 1.5 TSI G-Tec power source. Indeed, a four-cylinder that in addition to petrol also likes CNG (natural gas). The Octavia 1.5 TSI G-Tec models have three natural gas tanks that provide a range of about 500 kilometers. In addition, they are equipped with a 9-liter petrol tank that increases the range by about 190 kilometers to 690 kilometers. The G-Tec versions of the Octavia Hatchback and Combi accelerate to 100 km / h in 9.6 seconds. With 218 km / h, the Hatchback has a slightly higher top speed of the Combi (212 km / h). The Octavia Hatchback costs € 32,990 as a 1.5 TSI G-Tec Business Edition. For the Combi you have to pay € 34,490.
The new engine versions can be ordered immediately. At a later stage, Skoda will expand the Octavia’s price list with an RS iV variant and a mild-hybrid 1.5 TSI e-TEC DSG.
