The event, staged at the Village Square Atrium on Level 1 of Waterway Point, showcases Škoda’s versatile line-up, ranging from the Kodiaq SUV to the Enyaq.

Topping the highlights is the introduction of the new facelifted Octavia, available in four variants tailored to meet diverse needs.

A Fresh Take on the Škoda Octavia Family

The Octavia, Škoda’s best-selling model with over seven million units sold globally, is back in its fourth modern generation with a refreshed design and advanced features.

Available in Selection and RS trims, the Octavia comes in both Liftback (sedan) and Combi (estate) configurations, ensuring something for everyone.

• Octavia Selection Liftback: Powered by a 1.5-litre TSI mild hybrid engine, it boasts an impressive fuel efficiency of 6.1 litres per 100km. The cabin features a sleek 13-inch touchscreen display with voice control, Wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
• Octavia Selection Combi: Designed for exploration, the Combi offers a spacious interior with 1,700 litres of luggage space, complemented by clever design details like an automatic retractable luggage cover.
• Octavia RS: For thrill-seekers, the RS variant is the most powerful Octavia yet, equipped with a 2.0-litre TSI engine delivering 265 PS. It sprints from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds, all while boasting sporty touches like 19-inch anthracite alloy wheels and an RS-exclusive Suedia-upholstered interior.

This updated Kamiq is now powered by a 1.0-litre, 114bhp engine, which means it neatly fits under the Cat A COE category – always a welcome bonus in Singapore’s car market. This little unit punches above its weight with 200Nm of torque, allowing it to zip from 0 to 100 km/h in a respectable 10.2 seconds.

What’s more, this engine is packed with clever tech; variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust, a 350-bar fuel injection system, and a variable geometry turbocharger. All of that is paired with Skoda’s 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Skoda’s given the Kamiq a bit of a makeover; the front grille has been reshaped to stand more upright, giving the car a bolder face. The headlamps are now sleeker, with a more streamlined upper element, and the taillights have had a redesign too.

It’s a subtle evolution, but one that makes the Kamiq look more polished and modern. You’ll get to choose from five stylish colours: Phoenix Orange, Moon White, Graphite Grey, Magic Black, and Race Blue.

The Kamiq’s cabin features the ‘Lodge’ selection, with copper-coloured trim details and ambient lighting. There’s also a leather multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, and the seats are upholstered in a combo of black fabric and Suedia.

Tech-wise, the Kamiq comes with an 8.25-inch infotainment system, complete with wireless Smartlink for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Skoda without some clever practical touches. You’ll find an umbrella tucked neatly into the driver’s door, and a tyre tread depth gauge in the fuel filler cap, which is now made from recycled plastic.

With the second generation of the Kodiaq, Škoda has improved upon their globally successful large SUV. 

The Kodiaq’s robust and sculptural design has been refined, giving it a more rugged appearance. The squared-off wheel arches, new brand logo on the bonnet, and tailgate lettering in matt Unique Dark Chrome give the car more contrast.

The SUV’s LED Matrix beam headlights and front grille are new, and the car has grown over six centimetres in length, offering more interior space for up to seven passengers and ample luggage.

Aerodynamics have also been improved, achieving a cd value of 0.282, thanks to an elongated, aerodynamically optimised roofline and various other enhancements.

Inside, the all-new Skoda Kodiaq features a completely redesigned interior with new controls. Below the infotainment screen are the Škoda Smart Dials, providing quick access to numerous vehicle functions. These intuitive multifunctional controls are operated by turning and pressing, with each dial featuring a digital colour display.

The Kodiaq’s new central infotainment display is a free-standing unit, measuring 12.9 inches. The reworked infotainment menu structure offers easy navigation with basic icons for “Home,” “Car,” and “App.”

Sustainability is a key focus in the Kodiaq’s interior. The seat upholstery, carpets, and headliner all contain recycled polyester, while the seat trim covers use leather tanned with residues from coffee bean production.

Iconic Simply Clever details, like the umbrella, are now made from sustainable materials. New additions include a display cleaner in the centre console and a storage box on the central tunnel in front of the sliding rear seat bench.

Under the hood, the Kodiaq is powered by a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid engine, generating 150hp and 250Nm of torque. This engine is equipped with the latest active cylinder technology, a first for the Kodiaq. 

Energy recovered during braking can support the engine with an electric power boost or allow the SUV to coast with the engine switched off. This, combined with the active cylinder technology, enhances the vehicle’s efficiency.

The new Kodiaq is equipped with nano radar sensors to enhance the upgraded Side Assist system. These sensors increase the detection range for vehicles coming from behind to 90 metres, improving safety.

The improved Travel Assist offers enhanced visualisation of nearby vehicles in the Virtual Cockpit, and the Driver Alert system monitors driver behaviour for potential fatigue, issuing warnings if necessary.

The Skoda Kodiaq also features seven airbags, including a front centre airbag to prevent collisions between the driver and front-seat passenger in a crash.

For a limited time, Kodiaq buyers will enjoy exclusive launch upgrades worth $6,000, at a price tag of $222,900.

Each new Kodiaq purchase comes with five years of 24-hour roadside assistance, a five-year warranty, and three years of complimentary servicing. This ensures that owners can drive their new Kodiaq with peace of mind.
