Škoda Australia head of product and marketing Kieran Merrigan said the Octavia sedan and wagon line-up continues to be the pick for discerning family or touring car customers.

The Octavia Select is powered by a smooth and efficient 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque, with an eight-speed automatic transmission delivering 0-100km/h in 8.7 seconds.
It will be joined by the 1.4-litre turbo SportLine and 2.0-litre turbo RS in Q1 2025.
