Starting from $42,490 drive-away in Liftback, or $43,990 in Wagon body style, the Skoda Octavia SportLine brings styling changes and some minor dynamic tweaks to the model for no extra cost.

Available to order now ahead of its expected arrival in late February, the SportLine aims to bridge the visual gap between the Style and popular RS variants, the latter of which is the most popular Octavia in Australia in its Wagon body style ($58,490).
