Moreover, the Skoda Octavia now holds the distinction of being among the top longest-running nameplates in continuous sale currently in India.
Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India said, ““The Octavia is synonymous with Skoda Auto since our entry into India. It introduced Indian consumers to a value luxury package of design, technology, comfort, versatility and driving dynamics and created its own segment when launched in 2001. It has since become one of the largest selling Parts and Components vehicle of all time in India, recently crossing the 1 lakh sales mark. A big thank you to our family of fans and customers whose continued love and support to the Octavia for over two decades has made this accomplishment possible.”
