ŠKODA OCTAVIA Engines
HYBRID TECHNOLOGY FOR LOWER CONSUMPTION
The OCTAVIA is the first ŠKODA to feature mild hybrid technology. The petrol engine is accompanied by a more powerful battery, an electric motor and part of the on-board electric network energised at 48 V. This enables the car to switch off the combustion engine entirely, for example, when it is travelling at low speed. This results in lower consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions. Another option is the iV plug-in hybrid drive, enabling the car to travel purely on electricity.
