2017 Skoda Octavia - Facelift

Whatchu think about this 2017 facelift?

Looks like they made the headlight smaller and the grille bigger but no, the both ends of grills contain a small one.

Shown here is the Octavia RS spec.
>2 engines to choose from
2.0 TSI (unchanged) - 169 kW (230 hp)
2.0 TDI (gave a little power) - 135 kW (184 hp)

...

For wagon lovers.

...

The regular Octavia models.

>available in AWD as well.(applies to all models)

"The five TSI and four TDI that make up the engine programme combine strong performance with low fuel consumption. Their displacements range from 1.0 to 2.0 litres, the output range begins at 63 kW (84 hp) and ends at 135 kW (184 hp). For almost all engines in the revised Skoda Octavia, a DSG transmission with six or seven gears is available in addition to manual transmission. Skoda supplies all-wheel drive 4×4 for the 1.8 l TSI and the 2.0 l TDI."

Looks absolutely fuckin retarded desu. Old Octavia looked fine and this is an abomination. Who the fuck designed these headlights?

Looks as retarded as German politics

It's like VAG decided that the Octavia was a better car than the Golf so they went full retard with this

great cars, but the new skoda corporate face is retarded.
Problem is that the cars have been bland for so long that skoda felt like they had to go full retard this time so people realise there's a new one.

Skoda Octavia TCR fucking when?

what the fuck did they think

I like it

Why does VAG go full retard and have both Octavia and Rapid? What is the difference?

All they have to do is Rapid RWD and then become the Saviours of European motoring.

Octavia - poor man passat
Rapid - poor man jetta

>Rapid could have been a poor man 911

At what point did Volkswagen go so far up their own ass that they need another brand to play entry level?

This is not photoshopped.

VW already started making the Ameo which is the Polo with a small trunk.

>ok guys we need something new
>let's just throw some ideas, maybe some will stick
>golf front
>golf middle
>halved rear from chevrolet cruze
>suspension from tiguan
>perfect, lets call it Ameo
>
>HERR NEUMANN VERLASSEN SIE DAS GEBÄUDE!

2.0 280PS 4X4

0-62 in 5.8

Huge car in estate (wagon) format and a bit cheaper than an Audi S3 (list price) that is barely faster from 0-62 (5.3). And honestly more likely to get a discount with Skoda.

Not much to dislike.

I can't understand why the octavia won't get the memeAWD and the big 2 liter with 290hp, like how the seat leon has it.
I find it a bit far fetched for VW to be intimidated by it.

For some reason it looks retarded in white, but decent in green. I don't know why.

SKODO OCTOVO O

this.

what the fuck were they thinking when they shat out that headlight design.

>OH GEEZ, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE TREND AND MAKE THE GRILL BIGGER BUT THERE'S NO ROOM

>LETS FUCKING SACRIFICE THE HEADLIGHTS!!!!!!!!

>dual clutch
>no paddles

What the actual fuck is going on with the headlight "design"?

Atleast it looks half decent here, but still a bland VAG product.

>not putting the headlights IN or BEHIND the grill at that point
Makes no sense desu ne.

>uglier headlights
>slightly changed gauges
>new rims

Visually thats it. Unless it rides better this is the new meme facelift.

Dad has the 2013 2.0Tdi. My only complaint could be that it goes from litterally 0 torque to wheelspin in a split second once it hits 1750rpm.

Also for a >23k€ car i expected the build quality to be just a little bit better.

Mercedes already pulled this stupid shit off in the past

But the Octavia is literally a Golf sedan, not unlike the Jetta and the Rapid.

There's a stick option though.

Contrasting silver frame around the grille on the green one.

Who thought that they need to Update this car

Thank god, it's only sold in India, Malaysia and other poor asian countries.
