ŠKODA Australia has confirmed that renewed supply of its Octavia liftback and wagon, Kamiq compact SUV and Karoq medium SUV is entering dealerships and can be ordered now.
Amid production crises afflicting multiple brands, ŠKODA Director Michael Irmer said that "securing supply of the brand's core range is the news customers have been waiting for".
"Kamiq, Karoq and Octavia are ŠKODA's pillars," Mr Irmer said. "Each of the these models, in their different ways, embody SKODA's unique combination of European technology and simply clever features with transparent whole of life ownership costs.
"Ownership cost can easily be kept under control even in this macroeconomic environment with ŠKODA's very competitive Service Pack Prices, available to all models and ages. And, of course, good residual values which further benefit from the recent addition of 7 Year Warranty across the board.
"All Australian ŠKODAs are sourced from Europe. Specification that may be optional elsewhere is expected by Australian customers. Select features are currently available as options and – thanks to Australia being prioritised as a high specification market – are fitted to the vast majority of our inbound stock.
"That's an important step forward to give customers what they desire, and once possible they will become standard again. Customers continue to select vehicles with one if not two packages and respond well to our newly introduced Finance offer, which comes with a competitive Finance rate and Guaranteed Future Value.
"Because it is available to all models in the ŠKODA range it makes our offering transparent and customer friendly."
The multiple award-winning Octavia remains available in either lift-back or wagon forms, with a choice of Style or performance RS configurations.
The Kamiq, another ŠKODA award winner, is to be had in Style, Monte Carlo or Signature Edition forms. They are powered by a choice of 1.0- or 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engines that make the Kamiq frugal in the city and effective on the open road.
Karoq continues to mean two completely different SUVs. The Style is a family-focused vehicle whose unique Varioflex rear seats can be completely removed to allow a massive 1810 litres load space. The Sportline is a rapid and responsive all-wheel-drive with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine.
"ŠKODA is confident in the breadth and quality of its showroom," Mr Irmer said.
2024 will bring the scheduled mid-life upgrades for the Scala hatchback, Octavia, and Kamiq. Next year will also see the commencement of production and on-sale for this market of the ENYAQ and the ENYAQ Coupe battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
