Skoda Octavia and Superb To Go Off Sale By March 2023; Could Make A Possible Comeback

Both the sedans won’t be updated to the upcoming Phase II of BS6 emission norms, which are set to kick in from April 2023

• Octavia and Superb won’t be updated as per the Phase II of BS6 emission norms. 

• Parts to be in supply and the existing customers won’t be affected. 

• Skoda’s analyzing if they could bring back the two sedans in a new and greener avatar. 

• The lineup after these two models will include the Slavia, Kushaq, and seven-seater Kodiaq. 

• Skoda is planning to launch the Octavia RS iV and Enyaq EV this year. 

Skoda is going to discontinue the Octavia and Superb by March 2023 due to the more stringent Phase II BS6 emission norms. The german sedans won’t be updated to new norms, which will be effective from April 2023, and as a result, will see the end of the road. 

The Octavia and Superb are CKD (completely knocked down) units with an average sales of less than 200 units each per month. Currently, the Octavia retails from Rs 27.35 lakh to Rs 30.45 lakh and the Superb ranges from Rs 34.19 lakh to Rs 37.29 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). 

However, Skoda’s still analyzing and we might see the sedans return to India again. The company has assured that the parts will be in supply and the current customers won’t be affected. Skoda is already working on the new generation Superb and even the Octavia is due for a facelift. Maybe, they could make a comeback in new and greener avatars.
