2021 Skoda Octavia | First Drive Review | PowerDrift

- Опубліковано 8 чер 2021
- The Skoda Octavia is back and with a fresh new look! Sleeker, sharper, and with a bigger engine - a 190PS, 330Nm, 2.0-TSI, mated to a 7-speed DSG. It gets a whole new interior too, with digital screens that display all the information you need! Rohan and Rohit go puttering about in the new Octavia to see what’s what and what’s not! With the Toyota Corolla Altis and the Honda Civic not being in contention, the new Skoda Octavia goes up only against the Hyundai Elantra.

Not worth ur bucks exceptt for bootspace n hp
“Front wheel drive suvs utne hi suvs hote hai, jitne bandaar insaan hote hain!” …. Nicely put by Mr. Tenhut! 😂😂😂😂
Quite pricey 😐
I cannot afford this car, but I can afford to say that plis give your editor a raise!
Haha! Done!
Speech is free lol...you don't have to afford anything
@@OMGitsPARAJ 😂😂😂
@@OMGitsPARAJ did anyone asked you to say this? Is saying god is great aka Allahuakbar an act of terror??
Ikrrr
Whoever handled the editing in this one deserves a medal. Damn those transitions are as good as the car itself. Loved the banter when you guys spoke about the design of the car.
True
"Front wheel drive SUVs utne hi SUVs hote hai jitne bandar insaan hote hai"..waaow what a comment Rohan..loved it.. :)
Xuv 500 waalo ko samjhao koi 😂😂, i will remember this line forever
i replayed that part 3 times and everytime it was funny af XD
The best dialogue in 2021
Rohan bhai ki knowledge 👍
@@ZaidKhan-cz4jd me too 😂😂
All the time I was admiring the car, I was also admiring the camera angles and the editing, the editing is seamless I must say... Kudos to the entire team 👍
Wow, thanks Rash Soni!
The only car one needs for India
It's fast, its safe, its comfortable and most importantly it's a Skoda.
And that 6.9seconds is Vrs territory by the way
Just came here after watching another first drive by one of the seasoned reviewers of motoring India.. and i was all analytical, tabbing on the pros/cons etc. etc. etc.
And then you see one done by team PD and man! the pure passion of holding a steering wheel and heart just races with the engine! honestly, nothing else matters. there is a reason why people come here, keep going guys!
And compliments like those are the fuel! Thank you so much Hadi!
6:47 ohh thts gotta hurt some people🤣🤣
Rohan just wiped the myth about the suv
That’s wright 👍🏽
one of the best FWD cars in India.
highly tuned engine.
it's not tuned, it's the same vRS engine but making 60 HP less
Most Underrated Sedan ♥️♥️♥️
Amen. In fact, the entire sedan segment is slowly getting underrated!

Its a whole cinematic experience, when it comes to powerdrift.
Thank you so much, Thejas!
This car is best described as - "Jinko Akkal hai Unke Liye"
After a long time, powerdrift video feels like your videos from your early days.. Refreshing & informative
Thank you so much Sabareesh!
The octavia doesn’t have split headlamps so that they can introduce it in the facelift a few years later XD. Jokes aside, I love this car so much, I really really hope it does well
It will be facelift
Octavia first ride Review ✖️
Roasting pseudo SUVs ✔️
stopped watching PD videos for specific topic/car , now it is more of a fun phase where i watch the videos to admire the music, transitions, cinematography, every time it is unique .. Keep it up guys .. it is a treat to watch, my favorite channel on YT
I still fail to understand the average Indian's obsession with sunroof. In my city, I generally see kids sticking out their heads and waving at busy traffic in a densely polluted environment or the hot sun.😅
Gives a feeling of an expensive car for some reason, though it's stupid for our climate
India is not just about city’s bro... also wen u go out for trips it’ll be really good to have a sunroof .. gives u a lil extra feel
@@ahembrahmasmiiiiiii8856 yes, feeling of space. But id rather be happy if the manufacturer uses that money giving more useful features like ventilated seats, or even blind spot cameras.
@@nishant115me yeah ... ventilated seats at this price point was mandatory
Imagine going on a weekend getaway and having an open sunroof ( needn't stick your head out). The feeling is very different and cannot be expressed in words. For many like me who cannot afford a convertible, this is as close to the feeling one can get. Or in a city, starting your car in a hot summer and leaving the roof open for the first minute before you drive to let the heat escape? Having that option at this price point is maybe not too much to ask for? Its a different matter that one need to use their brains to figure when to stick your head out or open the sunroof!
Skoda just killed this time in every aspect
What about pricing it's 25 lakhs exshowroom is it worth it

@@Ordinaryperson1986 worth it because of the engine 😻
@@Ordinaryperson1986 If you've driven a Skoda before or any VW Group cars for that matter, you'll understand that it's worth it.
@@Ordinaryperson1986 cmmon man ...every car has gone through a price hike ...its 2021 now after a pandemic even petrol now costs above 100 rs ....i20 now costs near 14 lakhs on road ....hatchbacks are sold in the name of compact suvs for abour 15 lakhs ....so you expect a proper sedan with 2.0 l engine that too of german engineering to cost below 20 lks ?
6:46 DISCLAIMER:- No HARRIER or SAFARI was harmed during this time 😂😂😂😂
And almost everything else that's selling now.
🤣

Ooh wee!
Old headlight and grills are 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely!
@@powerdriftofficial missing that very badly 😶
"Front wheel drive SUVs utne hi SUVs hota hai,

-Rohan Albal being appropriate AF!
Haha!
Call me a fanboy or whatever, I can't take out Honda Civic from my heart(the one that got discontinued).
after that I'll rank this as a best looking car.
A man of taste you are
You will feel same for new Elantra
That editing is on cinematic level. You guys outperform yourselves for every video. Kudos!!!
Thanks for staying with us ! See you next time
The Cinematography is just downright amazing. Well done guys!
Thank you Spitfireftw
Been waiting for this! You guys stepped up your game to the max with the previous 3rd generation Octavia review, and this time it's even better! You really set the standard and no one else comes close in the quality of the production!
The car is as good as powerdrift's editting skills.....I think by now you know how good is the octavia
Yay thanks
Hats off to team PD’s amazing editing and video
Thank you so much comrade!
"Front wheel drive SUV utne hi SUV hote hai jitne bandar insaan hote hai" : Truth has been spoken lad😎👍
I am looking forward to get the Octy, but whenever I have doubts that is it worth the 30 big ones over something as reliable as the Innova, I look at this video again and realise it's always been more about the drive, feel and experience that bonds the man and his machine.
Hopefully, this would end up in my garage next year.
Cheers!
Hi buddy same feelings..did u got a deal on octavia?
That first one minute! Top notch editing.
thanks pavan
Such a classy car, and really that mild off road thing really made my day. We don't need suv's which are just measly crossovers. Sedans are ❤️. Editing and music was awesome, powerdrift you rock!
You and I think alike. I think!
@@rohanalbal3158 🙌
We indians are good in adjusting ....
No good roads ?...okey i will compromise my wish of a proper sedan🥲 to buy a high gc car with less comfort ....no hurt feelings government❤
Literally the best level of videography nd editing skills in the entire automotive media industry
Nd btw the car is SUPERB😂😎
Hahaha! Thanks, Devansh!
Refreshing..n those shots and cuts..woah…hats off to PD TEAM..
If anybody sees this comment pls do reply:
I hear people saying octavia is made softer and all that; How soft it is, is it softer than other cars; Say does a Rapid feel more confident in corners than this? I am really looking to buy this gen octavia, but I am not sure how well it performs in the corner, I am currently owning a Rapid 2021 model; The only reason I am looking to switch is I want more performance and confidence around the corners at high speeds; Say 120+ in corners; Is this the car I should buy? Pls suggest;
The editing part and the camera work. 👏🏻👏🏻 Its as good as the car 🚗
The whole video is at point. 🙌🏻
You sir are bringing a smile to my face. Thanks
Now that is some serious content you have here, especially towards the end!😉.
Absolutely spot on! Oh & i completly agree with everything that Rohan & Rohit said, especially about the gear knob " What is the World coming to"!
Love this❤️
Thanks a ton Kannan!
The new edits have taken this channel to a new high. Well-done powerdrift team. And the hosts also have done a great gig at it. Well-done!
Skoda is love Crush of Powerdrift... No other channel give thm tht much coverage...
Skoda should poach the editor right away! Take a bow dude!
Hahaha! He's well protected! :P
There should be no excuse for the Ventilated seats! As far as sunroof is concerned, its just BS and makes no sense. Either a solid roof or a convertible. There is no inbetween!
A question, does it have some connected cars feature?
Editing is better than most of the bollywood movies 💯
And content delivery amazing 👌🏻
Thank you so much, Anuj! 😀
"Fwd drive suv utne hi suv hote hai jitne bandar insaan hote hai". Right on face tenhut!! 👏👏👏👏👏
There's a reason why you did not talk so much about design on Powerdrift. That's because it's subjective, and you don't need to point it out so much.
Very true. This time we got carried away with the looks because everything looked so beautiful out on the roads after lockdown :P
On other channels, I watch only those car reviews which I have shortlisted. But here on PD, I just watch them ALL because of the absolute fun their videos are.
What about roads and speed breaker is it made for sedan that u can drive without a fear of hitting under the car
you are good
The last song is a german song named "So weit" (album - German pop 2 ). Can be found on apple music, jio savan etc
Can you please help with the song in the beginning ??
Which song or music has been used in the beginning ???
And finally back with a bang that too with the crazy edit of PowerDrift 🔥 ❤️
Bang bang bang
Power drift reviews are always great to watch ♥️ and fell things !
Is ground clearance of Octavia not good for Indian road and speed bumps?
Superb production quality,
Amazing concept,
Beautiful review,
Insane editing,
Some excellent points made w.r.t., SUV,
Awesome music.
P.S. - Those alloy wheels are hideous
Thank you for that compliment, Jai!
Absolutely Loved The Car And Indeed Loved The Video Cheers Guys!! ✌🏻❤️
Thanks Aakash. Hope you subscribe :)
Beautifully done video. The best among all Octavia reviews released today👌
Wow! Thanks a bunch, comrade! We hope your friends liked it as well?
This was an amazing video!!
I also feel Octavia is Pd's one of the fav cars..
Have you checked our 2013 video ?
@@rohanalbal3158 just did!! Even back then the editors did a great job.. and you looked so different mann! 🤓
I'm so exited that I'm giggling like a child.
6:49 that line lol :D
6:47 The forgotten truth!!! 😄
Hahaha!
You give me goosebumps everytime yaaa.... When I watch your beautiful videos yaaaa.....
Haha! Happy to hear that, Darshan!
PowerDrift back with a Bang 💥
Bow chicka wowwow!
Sedan anytime and Octavia every time, good one guys
What a video... what an edit and what a nice performance.. kudos to the whole team
A smart person who cares about his wallet wouldn't invest in a brand new car especially a skoda.... The d in skoda stands for depreciation. Just wait a while and you can buy one, second hand for half the price lol
For 18lk you will get clean superb
PowerDrift Great Review👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you liked it, Arjunan!
I really missed this type of quality video from powerdirft
We hope you never get to say it again. Thanks
Best review of a car in recent memory.
Smart, witty, beautifully shot, and excellent editing.
The visuals communicated so much .... hats off!
Zac, from Skoda, should highlight your video to display the car’s true capabilities
Front wheel drive suvs utne hi suvs hai jitne bandar insaan hote hai 😂😂😂
Hopefully the Nakli SUV fad will blow over soon🙏
You guys are the class and Inspiration ❤️🙏
You are something yourself !
Simply unmatchable production by PD team! Stunning!
Thank you, Sravan!
BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Oh yes! Quite!
If this launch is a part of the india 2.0 plan, then definitely the ventilated seat if not the sunroof is a huge miss. Especially considering the premium prices and that they went on and on about how they are going to cater to the Indian lot.
Wat a video...! Others have done just a regular review. But you guys have just nailed it...👏👏👏 I just appreciate the anxiety you have for the good sedans being murdered in the name of fake SUV's/ jaked up hatches. But now the ryt word for it will be "conspicuous consumptions"... 😂
Octavia is not an ordinary sedan it's an emotion for all 90's guys...☺️👍
I love your conversational approach to reviews
Finally!!!❤❤❤
Yaas! Like the car, Kiran?
@@powerdriftofficial This Car is my dream car since childhood... used too drool over the first and second gen octavia /Laura❤❤
Epic editing bro 😎👍
Thank you so much comrade!
I love the energy in PD's videos along with combination of marvelous editing and thumpy music
I love your comment
Now this completes the circle. I became a fan of your channel watching your first octavia video in 2013. Ended booking one as well. History repeats, I might as well do that again.
Oh yeah! We hope history repeats! ;)
This review was not really the Powerdrift style or it wanted to do something different & failed....SUVs are a very desperate need depending on your location...Maharashtra has Super bad roads but if you are from Gujarat/Rajasthan you can really enjoy a car like Octavia...SUVs are a fad for sure but they are also necessary
Brilliant - Beautiful !!! Both the car and the review !!!
and your comment
I like that reflection of skoda has a jeep compass, PD you have a very creative editor👍
Yes by having the octavia " you really dont need an suv.. "
A well known fact which was apt with the solid first generation octavia, which was launched 20 years back...
Now you have reinstated the logic for the new one as well.
Yup , true that .... did Ddun > chakrata > tehri >kedarnath > Delhi in '07 model . ITBP guys in Chakrata watched this guy reach some good off road heights and mountain tops ... diesel version though. Snaps look unreal in those locations.
@@virenrathore3191 mk1 model had a very negotiable ground clearence lol.
definitely one of the best video till date by Power drift, and ofc is it even to question how good the car is
Hey, thanks for that compliment, Huzaif!
Powerdrift editors doing great job 👏🏻
Beautiful editing and the dialogues are crisp! Fantastic production PDTeam!
Feels great to hear that from you. Thanks :)
Powerdrift and it's never ending love with Octavia, another breathtaking video, short and sweet , seen it 5-6 times already, 💯 for editing, a big shout out to other car reviewers on UA-cam, this is how a review is done. Period.
Thank you for the kind words Ashish! This made our day!
1:45 people buy suv because of big grille, meanwhile - Toyota legender 😂
Powerdrift makes the most interesting videos. You are the BMW of reviewers - Hope you get what I mean!
Thank you Abhishek. I get what you mean :p
Does new octavia have rs version? Or will they come in future?
Not yet, but it will be here soon!
Hello PD, I am from India, now moved to Canada. A big Powerdrift fan. And all of my friends here(Canada) are buying SUV's while I have decided to go for sedan. In-fact I have booked a Kia K5 GT line, it will be on road next week. Even I doubted if this was a right decision or not, that choosing a sedan over "BIG SUV". Whatever thankyou for straightening things up. Sedans Rules :D
You might need to show this video to your SUV buying friends! :P
PS: You made a very cool choice! Wishing you happy motoring!
@@powerdriftofficial Thanks a lot for the reply PD. Means a lot. My friends already saw this video, and I hope eventually they will sell their boring SUV's and bring back the fun on their life's :D
Looks amazing! Hope they launch a sportline version like in the superb. 🔥
Powerdrift especially niranjans videos if am not wrong with name are always a treat to buy. I bought my superb 2013 after watching your video. And now i ll buy my octavia soon. Thanks to this video right here.
Also as a side note kudos to skoda for not downsizing engines like all others rather going otherway round.
6:48 well said👌
Absolutely loved the car, had been drooling over it since it's launch in the European Market but given the specs, even for style variant, the car will probably cost north of 25 lacs ex showroom, moreover the mere 137 mm ground clearance worries me even more given that even my 165 mm GC Verna gets its underbelly scratched in the present road conditions.
The car looks like a brilliant premium offering at a comparatively good price given that it compares to the likes of similar product from its premium German siblings which are a lot costlier.
Was looking for a upgrade but this won't fit my bill and obviously the GC and VAG's scary DSG Failures fears me even more.
137 is with passengers
137 laden? Or unladen???
@@gauravpandey4878 laden
@@gauravpandey4878 it's unladen, the laden GC is 106 mm, for comparison previous gen had 110 mm laden and 155 mm unladen GC

@@rohanalbal3158 No doubt, you are the best team😀
Always in love with Octavia..amazing video..and all the background music just makes video badass.
Thanks a lot, Mrinal!
Excellent review of the car. Is the ground clearance ok for Indian road conditions. If it is low, is there any way to increase the ground clearance with out effecting insurance claim
Loved the way you presented it..so unique!
