The hybrid engine, which will be created using the mild hybrid technology, will also enter the model engine line. A 48-volt electric motor with a lithium-ion battery will be added to the gasoline power plant, which will reduce fuel consumption and increase engine thrust during acceleration.

What engines Octavia will have 4 generations in Russia is difficult to say. The prospects for the appearance of the hybrid version are rather vague, and the launch of a car with a 1.0-liter engine into our market is unlikely. New 1.5-liter gasoline engines in Russia are not yet certified, but there is still time until 2020. Now the car is sold with 1.6 MPI, 1.4 TSI and 1.8 TSI engines.

Apparently, the world premiere of Octavia will be held at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the fall of 2019. It will be held in Germany from September 12 to 22.

How much will the Skoda Octavia 2020 model year cost?

The new Octavia will become larger and more luxurious, and therefore will cost more than the cars of the current generation. The exact price will be known only after the presentation of the car.
