| Skoda auto reveals new faces of Octavia | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Apr 23: Skoda Auto presents face lifted versions of the Octavia RS and the Octavia Scout. After the modernized Octavia launched late last year, the sports tuned Octavia RS and the Octavia Scout have now been face lifted as well. Besides numerous design changes, both cars offer new technological solutions including, for example, an air quality sensor for the Climatronic air conditioning system and a new illumination system.
The face lifted Octavia RS has a redesigned front mask with an RS logo and bold headlamps that for the first time in the RS version, can be fitted with xenon units combined with an adaptive front lighting module. Besides a wider and bolder induction aperture, the car’s innovated bumper boasts a further two innovations, log lamps with the Corner function and LED lamps for daytime lighting. The covers of integrated tallgate lamps have been redesigned to look more attractive, other innovations include, for example, a new metallic paint (Anthracite) and 18th Neptune wheels. The sports-tuned chassis has been lowered to 127 mm, the cars weight reduced by 20 kg in the petrol version and 15 kg in the diesel one. Significantly reduced air resistance has a positive impact upon the car’s overall performance. The maximum speed is higher, and the car’s responsiveness and acceleration have also been improved.
Complying the EU 5 standard, the engines fitted to the Octavia RS include a 2.0 TSI/147 kW petrol unit with a consumption of 7.5 I/100 km and reduced CO2 emissions (175g/ km) and a 2.0 TDI CR/125 kW diesel engine ( 5.71/ 100 km and 150 g/km, respectively). Both engines come exclusive with a six speed manual twin-clutch DSG transmission.
