Skoda Octavia Onyx Limited Editionย – Design Review
The clean lines and neat surfaces of the Octavia will benefit from a slew of sporty design touches. There are bits like new 16 inch rims, black wing mirrors, body colour spoiler, etc on offer.ย The Onyx Edition will help infuse some freshness with the Octy. This will help the Octavia soldier on unfazed before the facelift is launched here.
The interiors remain the same. The cabin is fairly feature laden with bits like a high quality Bolero audio system. The Octavia has always impressed us with the space on offer. It currently offers one of the most luxurious interiors in its segment.
