Skoda, which is at the cusp of a major car launch offensive will begin 2013 with a big bang. This year’s Geneva Motor Show will see the official global premiere of the 2013 Octavia sedan. After the launch of the 2013 Octavia, Skoda will launch no less than five new car models over the course of 2013. Skoda France has teased these car launches in an image posted to its Facebook page.

After the launch of the 2013 Octavia, Skoda will follow it up with a high performance vRS variant of the car. The vRS variant, which will be launched in March, will come with high performance turbo petrol and turbo diesel engines. The vRS variant will also get revised styling. In June 2013, the Octavia will get a Combi variant. The Combi variant is expected to be built mainly with the European market in consideration. The sedan and vRS variants of the 2013 Octavia will eventually be launched. The 2013 Octavia sedan is expected to make its India debut in the second half of this year.

In the second half of 2013, Skoda will launch the facelifted Superb internationally. The Superb’s facelift will be an end of life refresh given the fact that Skoda is a readying a next generation model of the Superb for launch after a couple of years. The 2013 Superb will replace the current model in India by the end of this year. There seems to be a mystery Skoda hatchback lined up for a 2013 launch and we expect that it could be the facelifted version of the Fabia. Like the Superb facelift, the refresh for the Fabia will be an end of life upgrade as the Fabia is also expected to get a next generation model in the coming years.

2013 will end with the launch of the facelifted Yeti crossover. The Yeti facelift is expected to arrive into India in 2014. Skoda is a big part of Volkswagen’s global domination plans. The upcoming car launches from Skoda are a step in this direction, even as the Czech car maker aims to boost sales across the world. So, 2013 is expected to see the launch of two new Skoda car models in India, in the form of the 2013 Octavia and the 2013 Superb facelift.

Mladá Boleslav/Reifnitz, 13 May 2015 – ŠKODA will be showing its sporty side at the legendary GTI Meeting in Wörthersee from 13 to 16 May. The brand will be presenting no less than five exciting ŠKODA sports cars at the cult event, including four sporty versions of the ŠKODA Fabia and the racy ŠKODA Octavia Combi RS 230. Visitors can also look forward to some great racing action with mini racing cars in ‘ŠKODA’s Crazy Rally Ride’.
​Today is the opening day of the 34th GTI Meeting in Reifnitz, Austria. As many as 200,000 tuning and motorsport enthusiasts are expected to attend the event open until Sunday.

The ŠKODA Fabia R5 will be heading to Wörthersee straight after the model’s very first race. Three weeks ago, ŠKODA’s brand new racing car celebrated its dazzling world premiere with a triumphant victory at the opening of this year's Czech Rally Championship. The model features some ultramodern technology, including the 1.6-litre turbo engine, all-wheel-drive, sequential five-speed transmission and McPherson struts.

ŠKODA’s designers have reinterpreted the Fabia R5 as an estate model to create the surprising ŠKODA Fabia R5 Combi show car, with highlights including the green, white and black paint job, 18-inch alloys, powerful bumpers, flared mudguards and doorsills, as well as a huge rear spoiler.

The ŠKODA FUNstar – ŠKODA’s ‘Trainee Car’ will be celebrating its world premiere at Wörthersee. The sassy pickup, based on the Fabia, was designed and constructed by ŠKODA apprentices in months of hard work. A 1400-Watt sound system provides a surround sound experience for all passengers to enjoy.

The ŠKODA Fabia is showing off its sporty ambition with the Red & Grey Plus design package. The moon-white Fabia kitted out with ŠKODA genuine accessories is a real eye catcher: the model’s many interesting features inclue red and grey stripes run over the bonnet, roof and boot, complementing the red 17-inch alloys and wing mirror casings.

The new ŠKODA Octavia Combi RS 230 completes ŠKODA’s grand appearance at Wörthersee. The fastest Octavia Combi (estate) of all time reaches a top speed of 247 km/h, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds. This is also the first series-produced vehicle from ŠKODA to feature an electronically controlled front-axle differential lock for particularly dynamic cornering.

In addition to the sporty model highlights, ŠKODA will again be hosting a special kind of ŠKODA racing experience for all ages at Wörthersee. Visitors can take part in ‘ŠKODA’s Crazy Rally’ – a special racing track next to the stands where contestants go head-to-head in mini racing cars.
