SKODA OCTAVIA II GEN

SKODA OCTAVIA II GEN (LAURA)• The second generation Octavia was introduced in March

2004.• In India, the second-generation Octavia was marketed as

the Laura to distinguish it from the first generation. The car was marketed in a higher segment,[ambiguous] and was sold alongside the previous generation Octavia. However the first generation ended production in India in 2010, and as of 2012 the Laura's price was reduced and was competing in its predecessor's segment.

SKODIA LAURA INDIAN SCENARIO• In 2005, Skoda introduced the 2nd generation Octavia.

Unfortunately, they decided to sell the old & new generations side by side, simply badging the latest model as the Laura. This didn't go down too well. In the million+ rupee segment, the informed Indian customer gives a cold shoulder to old products. While the Octavia slowly fizzled out of the market, the Laura did well for itself, despite the premium pricing. The Laura went through a facelift in the year 2009. However, its age vis a vis fresher competition was starting to show. For enthusiasts, the Laura vRS didn't create the same impression as the earlier Octavia vRS. That 1.8L TSI engine is a gem, but the softened new vRS didn't have the raw feeling of the Octavia.

SKODA OCTAVIA III GEN

in December 2012, and it was spotted testing in India around April 2013.
