Highlights
It was in the month of January 1959 that the first-ever two-door Skoda Octavia rolled off the production line from the company's main plant in Mladá Boleslav, where the said model was manufactured for the first few weeks alongside its predecessors, the Š 440 and Š 445. The first-ever Octavia used to draw power from a 1.1-litre, in-line, four-cylinder engine churning out 39 hp and the same was mated to a four-speed gearbox. The top speed was 110 km/h while the average fuel consumption figure stood at 7.7L per 100 km.
The Octavia nameplate has completed 60 years of its existence. The name 'Octavia' has been derived from the Latin word ‘octavia’ that means - ‘the eighth’. The said name was used for this particular model as the Octavia was the brand’s eighth model since the Second World War. Moreover, it was the eighth Skoda to feature the state-of-the-art independent suspension for all wheels that the company had introduced in the year 1933.
