UPDATE (22nd June, 2017): We've driven the updated sedan! Check out the 2017 Skoda Octavia Facelift Review.

Skoda has revealed the facelift of its premium sedan, the Octavia which is slated to be launched soon in the international market. International deliveries of the updated Octavia will begin in early 2017, while the launch in India can be expected in mid-late 2017. 

The car receives minor updates to the exteriors and interiors. The front fascia of the new Octavia is now more edgy with a quad LED headlamp setup. The fog lamps are rectangular and sit in the wider air-dam. Apart from the changes to the front, the profile and tail section remain unchanged. However, the tail lights now feature LEDs.

For the interiors, Skoda has updated the instrument console with the addition of a colour multi-information display (MID). The centre console features a 9.2-inch infotainment unit with the 'Skoda Connect' feature, which supports mobile connectivity and navigation. The parking assistant has been updated while a rear radar has been added too, which aids the blind-spot detection and rear traffic alert tools while changing lanes. Other updates include customizable key settings, a heated steering wheel, folding tables behind the front seats and bottle holders.

Transmission duties will be handled by 6- or 7-speed DSG gearboxes for almost all engine configurations.
