According to information from the website Quto.ru, a major dealer has brought a substantial batch of Skoda Octavia hatchbacks of the previous generation (Octavia A7) to Russia. Earlier these cars were manufactured in Russia at a factory in Nizhny Novgorod, but now they are supplied from China as part of parallel imports (their production in China did not stop).
Despite the similarity in the front part, the rear side is designed differently than the Russian Octavia A7, more resembling the flagship Superb. And the engines of the "Chinese" also vary: the cars imported to Russia are equipped with a naturally aspirated engine with a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 113 hp, working in tandem with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
For such an "old-new" Octavia A7, they ask for 2.4 million rubles. On one hand, in modern conditions this is not too expensive, but on the other hand, the configuration is quite modest: there is a media system and ABS, but only frontal airbags, and instead of climate control a regular conditioner is installed.
