Skoda review: luxury sedan
AutoThe Skoda company came to India, when the Japanese car companies had already been established
themselves. So you certainly had some competition and you had to establish yourself. skoda entered
the Indian market with a petrol and diesel model of the Octavia. At that time like gasoline prices
They weren’t that tall, I opted for the Octavia 2.0 MPFI, with a fuel-efficient gasoline engine.
The car has now covered more than 140,000 kilometers and its engine is still purring like a cat, with exceptional
pick up. The 2000 cc engine develops almost 195 BHP and can cruise at 150 km/h in real time.
