Sporty extras


The facelifted Skoda Octavia recently stormed the price lists as a First Edition, but now the sportier Sportline Business is also present. It is quite a bit more expensive.
The party for the facelifted Skoda Octavia started with the appropriately named First Edition launch version, but now the Sportline Business has been added. It has been available from the start as a hatchback and as a Combi and brings various sporty accents and extras to the compact middle class car. You can recognize it by numerous details in black, such as the side mirror caps, window frame and grille. It also stands on special 17-inch alloy and the car is 1.5 cm lower on its wheels than standard. In the interior you are treated to a sportier seat thanks to heated sports seats and the driver holds a sportier steering wheel. Just like with the First Edition, the infotainment screen is 10 inches as standard, but you can also get the Octavia with a 13-inch one.
The Sportline Business version is currently only available in combination with the 150 hp mild-hybrid 1.5 eTSI, which is linked to a seven-speed DSG and allows you to tow up to 1,500 kilos. As a hatchback it costs at least €41,490 and as a Combi it should bring in €42,490, which is respectively €3,000 and €2,500 more than you spend for the First Edition with that drivetrain. You can order immediately, the Skoda Octavia Sportline Business is expected at the dealer in July.
