The Skoda Octavia<\/a> has received a new mild-hybrid powertrain in Australia, available in both liftback and wagon body styles, but only in base Select trim.<\/p>\n

The new mild-hybrid variants of the Czech mid-sizer are due in Australian showrooms in April 2026, and take the place of the outgoing 110TSI Select and Sportline.<\/p>\n

The Octavia Select Hybrid (mHEV), as it\u2019s officially called, is priced at $41,990 before on-road costs or $43,990 drive-away in liftback guise.<\/p>\n

The wagon version is priced at $43,490 before on-roads, or $45,990 drive-away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That makes it more expensive than the outgoing purely petrol-powered Select 110TSI, which is priced at $41,990 drive-away as a liftback or $43,990 drive-away as a wagon.<\/p>\n

The new variants use a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque, mated with a 48V mild-hybrid system and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

Those outputs are the same as the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder in the existing Select 110TSI, which uses an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, claimed fuel consumption drops to 5.1L\/100km in the liftback and 5.2L\/100km in the wagon \u2013 down from 6.1L\/100km and 6.2L\/100km, respectively.<\/p>\n

The superior fuel economy is achieved through the mild-hybrid system\u2019s assistance during acceleration and its enabling of engine-off coasting. The system can also recover energy during braking.<\/p>\n

Standard equipment for the Octavia Select Hybrid (mHEV) includes:<\/p>\n

All exterior finishes are no-cost options apart from Velvet Red Metallic, which attracts a $770 surcharge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new mild-hybrid Select slots in under the sporty RS flagship, which is priced at $62,990 drive-away in liftback guise or $64,990 drive-away as a wagon. <\/p>\n

The RS is powered by a 195kW\/370Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, also mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto.<\/p>\n

Despite having significantly more power than the Select, it boasts combined-cycle fuel consumption of 7.0L\/100km, less than 1.0L\/100km more than the outgoing 1.4-litre Select.<\/p>\n
