| First plug-in hybrid in the performance-oriented ŠKODA RS family › Power output of 180 kW (245 PS) as well as RS-typical exterior and interior › Four new electrified OCTAVIA models: the OCTAVIA RS iV, OCTAVIA iV and two OCTAVIA e-TECs ŠKODA is offering a model from its RS family with plug-in-hybrid drive for the first time. The new ŠKODA OCTAVIA RS iV has been fitted with a 1.4 TSI petrol engine and an 85-kW electric motor delivering a combined power output of 180 kW (245 PS). Featuring black details on the bodywork, the OCTAVIA RS iV can immediately be recognised as sporty top-of-the-range variant of ŠKODA’s bestseller, now in its fourth generation. The Czech car manufacturer will offer the new OCTAVIA in three other electrified versions as well. The OCTAVIA iV is a plug-in hybrid delivering 150 kW (204 PS) and is available in the Ambition and Style trims. Two e-TEC variants producing 81 kW (110 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS) make use of mild hybrid technology for the first time at ŠKODA. |

No, "JAC" lol: did not confirm the launch anywhere. He's talking about the next gen Octavia 4th (IV) generation and not the Octavia iV (electric version). New Octavia will obviously be launched first, then the RS models will come later within 2021. |
| The ŠKODA best-seller’s all-new fourth generation impressed a jury of around 40 experts from across the globe with its emotive styling, sculpted design elements and elegant, dynamic proportions. The design contest’s 65th edition has thus netted the Czech manufacturer its 14th Red Dot Award for its models. The official handover of the 2020 product design awards is scheduled to take place on 22 June during the Red Dot Gala event in Essen, Germany. |
| With even more space for passengers and luggage, an elegant, coupé-style design and innovative assistance and infotainment systems, the Czech brand’s best-selling model is all set to write the next chapter in its unique success story. It comes with a range of powertrains that is more varied than ever before – for the first time, the all-new ŠKODA OCTAVIA will be available with plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid technology, in addition to efficient petrol and diesel engines as well as a particularly eco-friendly natural gas (CNG) variant. |

Internationally the 2.0 190 HP TSI Octavia comes with 4X4 system coupled to a 7 speed DSG. So are we getting the Octavia with a AWD system at launch? |
