What's New In The 2024 Skoda Octavia Facelift?
The upcoming facelift is set to bring some changes to the front, including a fresh grille design and updated bumpers. You can expect new headlights, tweaks to the taillight design and updates to the alloy wheels as well.
Inside, things are likely to stay pretty much the same. However, there's a chance that some features from the new Superb and Kodiaq might make their way to the Octavia. This could include a 12.9-inch touchscreen and a 10.0-inch digital instrument cluster.
Additionally, digital knobs, a steering column-mounted gear selector, and a dashboard with leather and wood inserts could enhance the interior.

What Changes Await in the 2024 Skoda Octavia Facelift Powertrain?
Skoda provides various petrol and diesel engines for its cars globally, including the Octavia, which also comes with petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid choices. The upcoming facelift is expected to maintain these engine options for international markets. However, in India, the Octavia will be offered exclusively with petrol engines.
Skoda initially introduced the latest Octavia in India with only petrol models but had to discontinue it quickly because not many people were buying it. They had plans to bring out a sportier RS version of the new Octavia in India, but that got postponed.
The company made this decision because they didn't sell many units of the regular Octavia, and they want to be careful before launching a limited edition like the RS.
Verdict
The 2024 Skoda Octavia facelift promises subtle visual upgrades and enhanced features, marking its global debut with potential caution for the Indian market, which may receive limited engine options.
