According to available information, the official premiere of the new generation Skoda Octavia 2020 is scheduled for November 11, 2019. Nevertheless, without waiting for the official show, the manufacturer has declassified the design and characteristics of the new item. This was done on purpose or by mistake of the company's employees, it's hard to say. The design of the new generation of the Skoda Octavia 2020 liftback has been declassified on the company's German website, in the online model configurator.
Most likely this happened at the time of adding a new model to the site, instead of a camouflage photo or outline, a real photo of the model was posted. The list of models on the German site so far includes only the new Skoda Octavia 2020 station wagon, but the declassified photo indicated a model in the back of a liftback. Looking at the image above, the fourth-generation Skoda Octavia will generally look as expected. The design of the novelty has slightly freshened up, and some features have migrated from the Scala liftback. Compared to the previous generation, the novelty received an enlarged radiator grille, topped with a thick chrome edging, as well as an updated front bumper.
Following the grille and bumpers, the new Skoda Octavia received new optics, instead of 4-eye, the designers installed headlights from Scala and diluted with features of the premium Superb model. As it should be for the new models of the company, the stern is now adorned with the signature Skoda lettering of capital chrome letters. On top of that, the stern will lose the edging for the license plates. Previously, photo spies have published a completely redesigned interior of the new Skoda Octavia 2020. Designers made it in the style of the latest generation Volkswagen Golf. The dashboard is now fully digital, and the central part of the panel was taken away under the large display of the multimedia system, made in the form of a tablet above the main part of the panel. Taking into account information from different sources, depending on the configuration, the size of the display of the multimedia system directly depends on the configuration. The choice of the buyer will be offered 6.5 ″, 8.0 ″ and 9.2 ″ touch display. Two platforms simultaneously serve as the basis for multimedia: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A similar situation will be with the dashboard, the basic configurations will receive an analog-digital panel, but the top-end configuration will acquire a digital tidy with a 12.3 ″ display.
Apart from the design of the new Skoda Octavia 2020, information regarding the technical specifications has been leaked. Under the hood of the fourth generation, there will be three petrol engines and two diesel engines available. Gasoline units turbocharged, TSI family, with a volume of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 liters. Diesel units of the TDI family, with a volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters. It also became known that in addition to the usual configurations with internal combustion engines, the Skoda Octavia plug-in hybrid configuration will be launched on the market.
The first versions will receive a "mild hybrid" based on a 48-volt system, paired with a 1.5-liter petrol unit. During the year, the manufacturer will present a charged RS version with 261 horsepower. It remains to expect the official show of the new generation Skoda Octavia 2020 in November. It is then that the manufacturer will fully disclose the characteristics, parameters and other details of the new generation of the model.
