Once again, the price of the Skoda Octavia 2020 makes it a hard option to beat

From 26,650 euros up to 33,550 euros is the price range covered by the 10 variants of the Skoda Octavia 2020

The fourth generation of the Skoda Octavia faces the difficult challenge of proving that saloons and estate cars still have their place in the compact segment.

At a time when buyers’ attention seems to be focused mostly on crossovers, whether SUVs, CUVs, SACs… or whatever the marketing departments tasked with exploiting the SUV craze choose to call them, these body styles that evoke traditional off-roaders and that, with rare exceptions, are not capable of providing any useful traction off the tarmac, dominate the market.

But there is hope for those who still have faith in saloon and “estate” bodies, as we traditionally know the adaptations of saloons into bodies with expanded capacity and cargo volume, and the Skoda Octavia has always been one of the most prominent options.

Once again, a new generation succeeds a successful previous one, and one of the reasons this car has been one of the most popular models in the brand’s history throughout its life is its RRP.

The price of the Skoda Octavia 2020 is not its only strong point

That is why it is more than interesting to know the range and price of the Skoda Octavia 2020, a car marketed as a saloon and Combi, with diesel and petrol engines available from the start, and which will expand its offering with hybrid and, at the same time, sporty models, such as the upcoming Skoda Octavia RS PHEV.

So, for those who opt for petrol, the chosen engine is the 1.5 TSI with 150 CV, while for those who continue to favour diesel engines, the chosen unit is the new 2.0 TDI, available with either 115 or 150 CV.

At the same time, as is customary, depending on the engine chosen, it can be fitted with the comfortable 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox, developed by and for the Group Volkswagen, or keep the traditional 6-speed manual.

Likewise, the trim levels currently available are Ambition and Style. Others will be added later, and even special editions with names as evocative as the ones we have seen before, such as the Monte Carlo trim, a nod to the brand’s competition history, and specifically to the rallies of the Czech manufacturer.

For those weighing up the price of the Skoda Octavia 2020, the Ambition trim corresponds to the entry level of the current range. Even so, it comes with equipment aimed at enhancing comfort and safety, including, for example, electrically folding mirrors with anti-dazzle position adjustment, dual-zone climate control, the welcome Virtual Cockpit with a 10.2-inch screen, an 8-inch infotainment system, light assist with Coming/Leaving Home function and tunnel light, Tempomat cruise control with speed limiter, front and rear parking sensors, and distinctive visual elements such as decorative inserts in the interior or chrome windows, and on the bodywork of the Skoda Octavia Combi Ambition, silver roof rails.

For its part, at the price of the Skoda Octavia 2020 under the Style designation, more complete equipment is offered, including the sensational Matrix full LED headlights with welcome function, as well as LED ambient lighting. In terms of connectivity and infotainment systems, this top-of-the-range trim features the Columbus system with a 10-inch screen, wireless SmartLink+ and one year of free online infotainment. Comfort levels rise with conveniences such as keyless locking and starting via the Kessy Full system, plus voice control, a rear-view camera, and 17-inch Rotare Aero alloy wheels.

Either way, below is the table with the price of the Skoda Octavia 2020 by engine, power, transmission and trim.
