Mumbai, 10 October, 2019: ŠKODA AUTO India introduces the OCTAVIA Onyx at an attractive introductory ex-showroom price of INR 19.99 lacs, across all authorized ŠKODA AUTO dealership facilities in the country, in three elegant paint schemes: the popular Candy White as well as the all-new Race Blue and Corrida Red.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Zac Hollis, Director – Sales, Service and Marketing, ŠKODA AUTO India, said “The ŠKODA OCTAVIA changed the dynamics of the executive sedan segment when it was introduced in India. ‘TOUGH MEETS SMART’, the new OCTAVIA ONYX has unique street credibility signified in its design. It is a limited edition variant which re-defines 'class and elegance’ while retaining its distinctive characteristics – emotive design, exquisite interiors, class-leading safety and intelligent connectivity features - now in exciting colour options.”

DESIGN

The Onyx inherits the signature contoured body of the ŠKODA OCTAVIA, and arms it with distinctive all-black design elements. The fascia is dominated by massive and elegant front butterfly grille, with chrome surround, and characteristic Quadra headlamps with CystalGlo LED daytime running lights.

The side profile of the OCTAVIA Onyx, with carbon back door foils, lengthens the vehicle visually and emphasize the coupé-like silhouette. The glossy black R (16) Premia alloy wheels and wing mirror housings accentuate the dynamic appearance of the new ŠKODA offering. The C shaped illumination, typical of the ŠKODA model range, is tastefully complemented by the glossy black spoiler that makes the vehicle confidently stand out.

The new OCTAVIA Onyx gets premium black leather upholstery and décor which is gracefully complemented by chrome highlights. The three-spoke SuperSport flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel with paddle-shift and black perforated leather lend the vehicle an emotive and authentic appearance with a strong identity of its own. The twelve-way electrically-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, with lumbar support and three programmable memory functions for the driver seat, are further proof that ŠKODA always offers a bit 'more car' for your money.

 

PERFORMANCE

The Onyx comes equipped with the 1.8 TSI (DSG) petrol engine and the 2.0 TDI (DSG) diesel engine from the OCTAVIA model range. The 1.8 TSI (automatic seven-speed DSG) produces an impressive power output of 180 PS (132 kW), and a torque output of 250 Nm (between 1,250 and 5,000 rpm) while delivering a fuel efficiency of 15.1 kmpl. It achieves 0 to 100 km/hr in 7.7 seconds and a top speed of 233 km/hr. The turbo-charged 2.0 TDI offers 143 PS (105 kW) power and comes with an automatic six-speed DSG, as standard. The diesel engine option achieves a maximum torque of 320 Nm (between 1,750 and 3,000 rpm), 0 to 100 km/hr in 9.2 seconds, a top speed of 213 km/hr, and on average yields 19.5 kmpl.

The headlamps of the new OCTAVIA Onyx come with the AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) function for optimum illumination of the road and its surroundings. These headlamps can respond to speed changes as well as to various light and weather conditions.
