The fourth-generation Octavia sedan was supposed to be launched by the end of April 2021 but the launch was suspended due to the rising COVID19 cases in the country. Now, Zac Hollis, the Director of Sales & Marketing, Skoda India, has confirmed that the new Octavia will be launched next month. However, the final launch date is still in discussion.
