Buyers in Britain will be able to order Skoda’s all-new 2020 Octavia starting next month, with the first units scheduled to arrive in dealerships in July.
Pricing will kick off from £22,390 (equal to $27,830) for the Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 PS SE First Edition, and climb all the way to £29,515 ($36,686) for the 2.0 TDI 150 PS DSG Estate SE L First Edition spec.
Additional variants and powertrains will join the range later this year, including an entry-level S model, a 1.0-liter TSI unit available with a manual gearbox, the introduction of mHEV (mild hybrid) DSG spec on both the 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI, plus PHEV and vRS models.

Initially, buyers will be able to choose between three grades: SE First Edition, SE Technology and SE L First Edition. While the former is reasonably well-specified, it’s the SE Technology trim level that really kicks things up a gear.
It adds 16-inch alloy wheels, the range-topping Columbus infotainment system with 10-inch touchscreen (instead of 8.25″), Remote Access, front and rear parking sensors with maneuver assist and more. The SE L First Edition spec meanwhile comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome window surrounds, chrome strip in the lower front bumper, microsuede upholstery, heated front seats, LED ambient lighting and more.
As for the engine range, it features three options with power outputs ranging from 115 PS (113 HP) to 150 PS (148 HP). If you want a gasoline unit, you can get the 1.5 TSI 150 PS, while the entry-level diesel offering is a 2.0 TDI engine with 115 PS. Both of these are mated to six-speed manual transmissions.
If you opt for the flagship SE L First Edition model, you can also get a 2.0 TDI 150 PS unit, available with a seven-speed DSG automatic as standard.
