The facelifted Skoda Octavia Touring has been launched overseas, and although it is unlikely that the car will be sold in China, it does have a significant improvement in appearance.
In terms of appearance, most of the blackened sports kits are used, the black waterfall grille on both sides leads to a new headlight group, the double-bent daytime running light strips are nested and arranged, and the lamp cavity adopts a special-shaped structure, wrapping the upper grille, which looks quite avant-garde and has a good fashion value. The front safety section adds a continuous black lower grille, fishnet-like middle mesh filling, and triangular fog lamp area air intakes on the left and right sides to further enhance the aerodynamics and sportiness. On the side of the body, of course, there are the iconic Octavia touring lines, the slender body with a slightly opposing roof, the D-pillar with a large angle of inclination, the simple waistline, and the large wheels will not be absent.
Blackened mirrors, roof racks and other elements form a match, and the wheels even add some aerodynamic effects, which is also the style of the Volkswagen Group as a whole. At the rear of the car, the roof has a large spoiler, the rear windshield has a large tilt angle, leading to a slightly prominent tailbox shape, the Skoda letter logo is black, the taillights on both sides are still flat C-shaped structure, the two-tone layout reflects a good sense of fashion, the rear bumper part has a gloss black decoration and the body color panel for nesting, canceling the bare exhaust, showing the feeling of the new era.
In the interior, the Sport Line model has an all-black color scheme, and the floating large LCD screen is equipped with a new car unit, but it does not use a larger screen like the high-end model. It is matched with a sports instrument panel composed of a dual-screen system, the prominent center console surface is not too bright, the exquisite paddle shift is also consistent, the steering wheel adopts a three-spoke shape to enhance the attributes of sports, and the integrated sports seats use special splicing materials and extend to the rear row to enhance the driving atmosphere. For a station wagon, the boot space aspect is also a big focus, offering excellent practicality, with 640 litres without folding down and 1,700 litres when extended, which is quite the best in a compact car.
In terms of power, the new car canceled the 1.0T three-cylinder engine, the kingpin 1.5T four-cylinder engine with an electric motor composed of a mild hybrid assembly, the maximum power of 150 horsepower, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, of course, there is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine launched, the parameters are consistent with the domestic version of 115 horsepower, the diesel version performance version will not be absent, what kind of performance can be seen in the future, it is worth looking forward to.
