The popular Skoda Octavia will get a range of updates in 2017 to keep it up to date with the brand's new SUV range
The Skoda Octavia, described by chief designer Jozef Kaban as ‘the heart of our range’ will receive a substantial facelift in 2017, a couple of years before an all-new model with plug-in hybrid option arrives.
The most significant change will be the adoption of twin headlights, following the four lamp approach that Kaban has also used to good effect on Skoda’s new SUV line-up.
Small, square outer lights feature an LED daytime running light underline, while separate inner lights – which continue the LED underline – are cleverly integrated into a Superb-style grille. The rear lights will also be mildly updated and continue to feature the C-shaped rear light style, while the rest of the outside of the car remains largely unchanged.
There may be some minor tweaks inside the car, too, especially on the technology front with connectivity marked out as a big focus for the company in the future.
The Octavia will continue to be the only model available in vRS performance trim, though – the new Sportline trim debuted on the Skoda Superb at the Frankfurt motor show and Monte Carlo models are as sporty as other Skodas will get.
