The 2025 Skoda Octavia is now offered with all-wheel drive in the international market. Currently, Skoda has no intentions of introducing the all-wheel drive variant in India. In the global market, the Octavia is available in both estate and hatchback forms. Bookings are now open, and deliveries are expected to commence in the upcoming weeks.

What powers the 2025 Skoda Octavia AWD?

The 2025 Skoda Octavia is equipped with a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine, generating a maximum power output of 201 bhp and a peak torque of 320 Nm. This represents an increase of 14 bhp compared to the previous model. The vehicle features a 7-speed DSG transmission, which effectively distributes power to all four wheels via the all-wheel drive system.

What is the top speed of the 2025 Skoda Octavia AWD?

The 2025 Skoda Octavia AWD can reach a top speed of 228 km/h.

How quickly can the 2025 Skoda Octavia AWD accelerate from 0-100 km/h?

The Octavia hatchback can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds, while the estate version achieves this in 6.7 seconds, just 0.1 seconds slower.

How is the all-wheel drive system on the 2025 Skoda Octavia? 

The all-wheel drive system in the 2025 Skoda Octavia operates through an electrohydraulically controlled multi-plate clutch situated between the axles. This system is supported by sensors that continuously monitor driving conditions. The control unit is responsible for determining the most efficient distribution of power, allowing for the transfer of up to 100% of torque to the rear axle when conditions are optimal. In scenarios where all wheels have equal traction, the inter-axle clutch divides torque in a maximum ratio of 50:50 between the front and rear axles. Furthermore, the electronic EDS and XDS systems enhance torque distribution between the axles. The vehicle features an advanced multi-link rear axle, and the all-wheel drive system has contributed to an increased towing capacity of up to 1,900 kg.
