The Skoda company came to India, when the Japanese car companies had already been established
themselves. Therefore, it certainly had some competition and had to establish itself. Skoda entered
the Indian market with a gasoline and diesel model of the Octavia. At that time like gasoline prices
They weren’t that high, I opted for the Octavia 2.0 MPFI, with a fuel efficient gasoline engine.
The car has already traveled more than 140,000 kilometers and its engine still purrs like a cat, with an exceptional
lift up. The 2000cc engine develops almost 195 BHP and can be navigated at 150 km / hour in real time.
comfort. The car handles very well on the road and many times none of the other Honda cars
Ford or Toyota can be beaten on the road.
The car is a six-speed car with ABS and power brakes that come as standard accessories. In

The 2.0 has now been discontinued and replaced with 1.9 engines. But for my part, I will recommend a
Skoda 2.0 MPFI for power and ease of handling. It is precision engineered and will serve you well for years to come.
The Skoda captured the market, but one thing went against it was the maintenance aspect. Auto parts were too expensive and service costs were high. The result was that the car lost its market and sales started to fall and that is the reason why a new Skoda is hardly seen on the road these days.
However, the company took a turn and released new models, including an excellent SUV, the Kodaiq, as well as an upgraded version of the Skoda sedans. This seems like a game changer and one can see the car again making its way back onto Indian roads. I hope this time the company is looking into the service issues.
