Skoda Octavias Greenline Innovation

The Skoda Octavia has been a very consistent car model that has been in existence for over a decade

. Its low cost coupled with reliability, practicality and classic design has made it a favorite in Europe and Australian markets for many years. The Czech makers of this car have long relied on VW technology to keep their engine designs competitive to other vehicles in the same class. This together with its affordable and stylish design has made it one of the best offerings. Not only has it featured mainly as a family car but special orders have had it customized for use as a police vehicle in the UK and Lithuania. With each upgrade this vehicle only seems to get better and better, and now it has gone green.

The Skoda Octavia Greenline treatment ensures that this famed car produces low emissions. The carbon dioxide production is limited to not more than 99g/km, with a reported economy of 64.2mpg for the estate and 74.3mpg for the hatchback. For countries that tax on high carbon emissions, drivers of this car will benefit from low or nonexistent tax charges. This innovation was brought about by the newly improved introduction of a 1.6-litre TDI diesel engine system joined to a five speed manual box, with the option for a seven speed box. This together with increased ratios makes it a more eco-friendly car. This diesel powered engine still manages to provide a surprising amount of torque reaching 250Nm. This power is quite effective when overtaking even with the lengthy ratios. While the new engine is slow to start, once in motion, it is very responsive to acceleration.

As the previous 1.9-litre engine proved to be quite noisy, this being the only downside to driving the Skoda Octavia, the Greenline manages to solve this problem admirably. Drivers should however keep in mind that the harder they work the engine the noisier it becomes. In addition to the improved engine delivery system, the new Greenline features an all new stop/start system and offers advanced gear changing recommendations. The low drag tires also help to add to the efficiency. All these advancements do not however compromise on spacious offerings of this vehicle nor its load carrying capacity. The vehicle also offers a new touch screen entertainment center and the usual power windows and air conditioning that come with the standard version. The Greenline also offers additional security features in the form of interior monitoring with alarm system.

Fortunately for fans of the Skoda Octavia, this new improvement only adds some marginal cost to the retail price of the vehicle ad is an innovation that is easily affordable. The lower running cost brought about by the higher efficiency and fuel economy will more than compensate for this premium on pricing. Another benefit of the Greenline is that it in no way interferes with the other benefits of driving this vehicle. Buyers will still be able to enjoy the excellent handling and fine steering. The lack of compromise when it comes to quality and comfort make this advanced version a worthwhile buy for many.
