Just over two years ago, the SAIC Volkswagen joint venture in China presented an extended version of the popular Octavia – a liftback with the prefix Pro in the title. And now, thanks to parallel imports, this change has “sunk” to Russia. For her, dealers who provided cars under the “gray” scheme asked for 3,390,000 rubles.
The main difference between the Skoda Octavia Pro and the usual Oktashka, of course, is the dimensions. The car has been stretched to a length of 4753 mm (for comparison, the “Russian” liftback has a length of 4689 mm), and the wheelbase has grown to 2730 mm. In addition, it has a different exterior design – different bumpers, a diffuser, more chrome parts. And in the cabin – multimedia with a touch screen enlarged to 12.1 inches.
As for the power units, the Skoda Octavia Pro, offered on one of the car classifications, is equipped with a 1.4-liter engine with 150 horsepower and a seven-speed “robot”. The equipment list includes 18-inch rollers, leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, cruise control, a rear-view camera, heated front seats and mirrors, as well as a bunch of “safe” options.
Judging by the description in the advertisement, the extended Octavia has not yet reached Russia, so potential buyers will have to wait. By the way, in China, even in the top version, this model is offered for 154,900 yuan, that is, for 1,770,000 rubles at the current exchange rate. It turns out that dealers operating under the “gray” scheme double the price.
