Škoda Octavia SportLine adds (1285)

Škoda's new Octavia SportLine costs the same price as the existing Octavia Style but comes complete with extras that enhance the design and dynamic appeal of the Octavia Liftback and Wagon line-up.

Priced from $40,590 RRP* or a national $42,490 drive-away for the Octavia SportLine Liftback, and $41,890 RRP* or a national $43,990 drive-away for the Octavia SportLine Wagon, the pair offer 15 exterior and interior and chassis extras.

As part of the European-best ownership experience offered by Škoda – including a seven-year, unlimited kilometre warranty and available seven-year capped-price servicing – the Octavia SportLine will be available with guaranteed future value and finance offers by Škoda Choice: from $114 per week after a 20% deposit, at a 6.99% p.a. comparison rate on a 5-year term**.

On the outside, the SportLine is distinguished by a gloss-black front grille, gloss-black mirrors, gloss-black brand and model badging, gloss-black rear spoiler (Liftback only) or roof rails (Wagon only), a rear diffuser, front spoiler, matte-black window surrounds, dual exhaust tips and front guard SportLine badging.

The SportLine adds a three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddles, sports comfort front seats with integrated headrests, aluminum pedals, and black rooflining/pillar trim.

A new Drive Mode selector enables a choice of Eco, Normal, and Sport modes.

The additional Sport mode focuses on enhancing the responses of the steering, 110kW/250Nm 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. It also complements the 15mm-lower sports suspension standard on the Octavia SportLine Liftback and Wagon line-up.

Škoda Australia head of marketing and product Kieran Merrigan said the new Octavia SportLine continued reinforcing the Simply Clever brand's range-wide European-best buying and ownership package.

"The most popular Octavia in Australia is the RS Wagon with all the options, so it is a design, dynamics, and value win for Škoda customers to be offered the Octavia SportLine for the same price as the Octavia Style," Mr Merrigan said.

"The SportLine builds on the extensive features set of the Style while combining with Škoda's European-best ownership proposition of a seven-year, unlimited-kilometer
warranty and optional seven-year service pack offer," he said.

"The Octavia SportLine follows the high-value lead of the Kamiq Run-Out and new Karoq SUVs released over the past two months, offering customers in key segments a new range of affordable, high-quality, dynamic European offerings."

Both the Octavia Style and SportLine feature 18-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlamps with adaptive high-beam, front and rear parking sensors, Park Assist, Side Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, heated exterior mirrors with driver auto-dimming, power tailgate, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit, and 10-inch screen with satellite navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

Options include $770 or $1,170 (Velvet Red only) paint, and a $2,450 Five Year/75,000km or $2,800 Seven Year/105,000km Service Pack. The latter works out at just $400 per service including major intervals.

A panoramic sunroof is available on Wagon variants for $1,900 and a Premium Pack is available on both body styles for $3,200 – incorporating Emergency Assist, Adaptive Lane Guidance, DAB+ digital radio, power-adjustable front seats, heated front and outboard rear seats, tri-zone climate control and additional USB-C outlets including behind the centre rear-view mirror.

The Škoda Octavia SportLine is available to order now ahead of a late February arrival.
