2013 Skoda Octavia prices start at Rs 13.5 lakh in UK

Skoda UK has officially revealed the pricing for the Octavia, ahead of the car’s launch in March. The highly-awaited sedan will go on sale in the UK at an attractive base price of £15,990, which is around Rs 13.5 lakh in Indian rupee.

The European-spec Skoda Octavia will be made available in three trim levels: S, SE and Elegance with engine options including 1.2 and 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines besides 1.6 and 2-litre TDI diesel units. While the entry-level TSI-powered Octavia costs around Rs 13.5 lakh, the top-spec 2-litre TDI Elegance costs £21,990 or Rs 18.5 lakh in Indian rupee.

Skoda will launch the 2013 Octavia in the UK on March 16. Given that it is one of the most highly-awaited cars this year, expect Skoda India to launch it here well before the end of 2013. From where we stand, the 2013 Octavia seems to be worth the wait.
