The new Octavia version is the first to come with electric and hybrid options.

Under the hood, the model uses VW’s well-known MQB platform with front-wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive platform.

The base model has a 1.0-liter diesel engine with 108 horsepower, while is also a 1.5-liter petrol engine with 148 horsepower. Both come with a six-speed manual gearbox attached to the front wheels.

A seven-speed automatic transmission, as well as a hybrid version, can be combined with a 48-volt battery. This combination assists the gasoline engine thanks to a small electric motor that can reduce costs and emission.

The third petrol model is in the 2.0-liter version with 187 horsepower, seven-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel-drive system. The company says it accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.9 seconds, while its top speed is 230 km/h.

Diesel versions come with 2.0-liter TDI variants with the base version of 114 horsepower and the choice between a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic. It’s also the 148-horsepower version with the all-wheel-drive system, and the most powerful, the 197-horsepower version.

The most distinctive version is the Octavia iV, which is the first with the plug-in hybrid option. It has a 1.4-liter petrol engine combined with an electric version to create 201 hp. With this electric version, Skoda says the new model can take up to 55 kilometers with electricity.

The new model is longer than the previous one, wider and takes up more room inside. The design is crisp, with standard LED lights and tailgate changes. Inside there are special touch-sensitive screens that function even through gesture control.

The model will go on sale in the second half of 2020 at a price not yet known but expected to be around 23,000 euros.

2019 Skoda Kamiq SUV Revealed

2019 Skoda Kamiq SUV Revealed

After a long presentation campaign, Skoda Kamiq is finally here. Do not confuse the name of the model introduced in China last year. This is a much richer product prepared for the European market

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

It looks very different to Karoq and Kodiaq, and targets a younger age group.

It’s as sharp as her sisters. But there is a change in the headlamps on the front of the car. They serve as daylight, and double the volume when turning signals turn on.

While in the presentation images there are very large wheels (just like in any scoop of the presenter), the largest wheels available are 18 inches.

According to the brand, the car’s space is to be praised. The car has a space of 77 cm from the front seat backrest to the rear seat backrests.

There is not much to say about the interior of the car, as Kamiq has inherited it from the Scala compact hatchback.

Security systems are numerous, with lane maintenance and automatic braking in emergencies.

The power comes from a turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 1.0 liter petrol, which employs 115 horsepower. The next version is the four-cylinder 1.5 liter engine that produces 150 horsepower.

You can also choose the 1.6-liter 115hp diesel engine or a naturally compressed powertrain.

At an extra cost, Skoda is happy to offer you optional DSG if you want the car to change the gears itself.

Skoda Kamiq will be available with active front wheel drive system.

Kamic will be presented at the Car Show in Geneva next week, and will be available later this year.
