2009 Skoda Octavia facelift gets 1.4 TSI engine
Skoda has given the C-segment Skoda Octavia liftback (aeroback) and estate a facelift for the 2009 model year. The front end receives a more dynamic look (e.g. new Fabia-ish more shapely headlamps) instead of the straight-cut look that the pre-facelift Octavia had.
The 1.6 FSI model will be replaced by a new 1.4 TSI turbocharged engine producing 122 horsepower, which is more than the outgoing FSI’s 115 horses. The star of the line-up will be the Octavia vRS which will feature a 200hp turbo FSI engine mated to a twin clutch DSG transmission.
Three more shots of the new Octavia available after the jump.

i actually did look at the dash and couldn’t see…. until my eyes hovered over the… haha, i’ll let the other guys find it and won’t spoil the fun. but it is cute. i wonder what the rear tail lights look like. side profile has a modern utilitarian feel which is what i see the brand as anyway… imho.

I believe it should follow the pricing of the current Octavia, which is quite reasonably-priced for it’s quality… seriously, sitting in one for a try makes you feel so at home =)
