We spot the same car again in Pune which is continuing its test runs around the Mumbai-Pune highway. This is the higher trim of Octavia which comes with smoked headlamps, large glossy black panaromic sunroof and (possibly a 7-speed) DSG gearbox. The new Octavia A7 follows Skoda’s new design language and comes with smart looking butterfly grille.

This is the Octavia A7 TDI diesel variant which carried load cans at the back seats along with plenty of test equipment. When this Octavia A7 makes way into India, it will replace the Laura. According to the information we have Skoda has plans to launch this Octavia A7 towards the end of August this year.
