In response to a rumor that emerged earlier this month, Volkswagen’s Czech Republic-based Škoda division has confirmed it is developing a four-door coupe based on the Octavia sedan. The yet-unnamed car could be presented as a thinly-veiled concept next March at the Geneva Motor Show.
Škoda was initially planning on introducing a two-door version of the Octavia but it gravitated towards a four-door coupe for practicality reasons. Riding on Volkswagen’s modular MQB platform, the car will stand out from the more conservative Octavia thanks to bold triangular LED headlights and similarly-shaped tail lamps, sculpted flanks and a low roof line. Large alloy wheels will finish off the upmarket look.
The yet-unnamed Octavia four-door coupe will be offered with a wide range of Volkswagen-sourced four-cylinder engines including a 140-horsepower 1.4-liter TSI and a new 2.0-liter turbodiesel with an output of 150 horsepower. Buyers will be able to choose between a manual and an automatic gearbox.
A range-topping vRS-badged model will arrive later in the production run with a GTI-sourced 2.0-liter four-cylinder mill rated at 220 horsepower. A diesel-burning model with a 184-horsepower 2.0-liter TDI engine borrowed from the Golf GTD will round out the lineup.
