2017 Skoda Octavia
2017 Skoda Octavia What is it? The Skoda Octavia has been on sale in India for more than three years. With only mild upgrades along the way, newer competition like the new Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla Alti s facelift have been stealing its thunder.

Even the bumper is new and the pronounced crease running across, makes the car look wider
