Looks like the upcoming Asia market G12 Corolla. Same class too. Will be interesting to see how Skoda can compete with Toyota in SG... Obviously sales will be very poor for Skoda... for reasons that doesn't need any intro

To be fair to supporters from both camp, let me do a side by side comparison using official photos, which has been touched up for better visual appeal to the potential buyers.

In this age of similar design, the KIA seems similar in look as well but is a far larger car.

Škoda Octavia Combi

Combi is a lot nicer.

Combi VRS will be perfect next car for me.

K5 is simialr in size to Superb

While this K7 is bigger than Superb. There also the K9 which is even bigger than K7.

IF strictly speaking about the size of the car, Octavia is equivalent to Kia K3 / Hyundai Avante. That's why its always a hard sell in SG, asking people to pay a premium of 21k for a car of a similar size.

UK RHD launch in spring 2020, does it means local sg launch in Q3 2020?

what's wrong with sticks?

[Kangadrool]

Very soon, another will put gear selector on screen aka aircon control on screen. Horrible shits! Swipe through screen to look for menu to shift gears. 😴

Yea think the vRS combi will be quite nice when it comes out..

as for the gear knob, now that it's shorter, easier to climb over 🙂

With so many innovations from Skoda on the new Octy, i hope VCS will bring in the full spec'd model and not just the bare bone car..

Any agent can bring in any car BUT the question is which market segment they competing with. A full spec Octavia may make buyer to go to let say a entry level 3-series or A160/C180 etc. Even Combi doubt they bring in as the mkt not ready for it.

no doubt skoda is now actively discuss in forum but hey not many pple surf forum these days.. only a handful of us (say less than 20) actively talking abt it.. 

And some buyer are basic buyer, I am one of them. Give me less electronics = less headache.
