It appears that Skoda is out working on some subtle revisions for its latest Octavia compact model, even though it only went on sale in Europe in January of 2013.

The prototype is covered from top to bottom in camouflage making it very difficult to weed out all the changes, but we did notice that the front bumper has been restyled, with the corner angles of the lower air vent reversed – much like the new model year Superb. The rear bumper also seems to have been reworked.

We suspect that these minor changes will be part of a light model year update that may also include some new colors and equipment features rather than a full-blown facelift, just to keep the Octavia fresh in the market.
