Officially announced in August, the 2013 Skoda Octavia is slated to hit the Indian market in three engine variants (two petrol, one diesel) and the anticipated price bracket is from Rs 14.5 to 19 lakhs. India's festive season guarantees a potential sale for this sedan, which is developed on Volkswagen’s new MQB platform, which was even employed in VW Golf and Audi A3.

    The Octavia was one of my favorite cars; but was always beyond budgets. #justsaying. 👎
