Skoda Auto presents facelifted versions of the Octavia RS and the Octavia Scout (known as Laura in India). After the revised Octavia launched late last year, the Octavia RS and the Octavia Scout have now been facelifted as well. Besides numerous design changes, both cars offer an air quality sensor for the Climatronic air conditioning system.
The facelifted Octavia RS has a new front mask with an RS logo and headlamps that can be fitted with xenon units combined with an adaptive front lighting module. The RS chassis has been lowered to 127 mm, the car's weight reduced by 20 kg in the petrol version and 15 kg in the diesel one. Skoda calms to that the maximum speed is higher, and the car's responsiveness and acceleration have also been improved.
The Scout line has been facelifted to toe the line with the other models of the Octavia portfolio, including a redesigned radiator mask and headlamps. Fitted with fog the massive front bumper underlines the vehicle's off-road appearance.
