Å koda Octavia celebrates its 50th birthday
In what is clearly a day for vehicular anniversaries, the ?koda Octavia is celebrating its 50th year of production with the nameplate dating back to 1959.
The Octavia name was also the first model to be developed internally in 1989 after ?koda became part of VW Group. The first concept car was made in 1992 with the vehicle then launched in 1996. An Octavia estate version was introduced two years later, followed by the Octavia 44.
In 2000 a new, modernised Octavia was introduced that is still manufactured in Mlada Boleslav today – the Octavia Tour. In February 2004 the company launched the second-generation ?koda Octavia, which was then facelifted in 2008.
?koda, the Czech Republic’s biggest car manufacturer has sold over 2 million ?koda Octavias worldwide and currently offers a vast range of trims, including the sporty ?koda Octavia RS and the Octavia Scout.
