The next-gen Skoda Octavia looks much sportier and draws design cues from the Superb. The interiors have also been completely revamped for a more premium feel.
Skoda just released a sketch of the next-gen Octavia a couple of days ago as a teaser. The all-new Skoda Octavia is slated for its global unveil on November 11, 2019 but ahead of its official debut, a new leaked image has surfaced the internet revealing much of the design details of the next-gen Skoda Octavia.
The leaked image strongly adheres to the previous sketch released by Skoda. As you can see from the image itself, the car draws inspiration from its elder sibling, the Superb. The split headlamps are gone and in place come a much sleeker and sharper LED headlamp unit that sit on either side of a more prominent grille. The bumper has also been redesigned for a more sportier look and prominent air intakes along the fog lamps.
On the sides, the new Octavia gets a prominent shoulder line, running the length of the car, with a second character line running along the lower doors between the wheel arches. The overall profile of the car remains the same but it gets new alloy wheels. However, the rear end of the car is still yet to be revealed.
