Skoda Octavia Onyx Edition will soon launch in India in the coming weeks. The recent teaser image confirms the same while dealerships have not started accepting bookings anywhere in the country. The car will get a limited run of just 200 units and those would carry cosmetic changes and same mechanical underpinnings as standard Octavia.

The all-black interior treatment will be skipped for India. The same will just offer automatic transmission on both the petrol and diesel engines in the country.
