2025 Skoda Octavia price and specs: Mid-range Sportline joins three-strong lineup

The Skoda Octavia lineup has expanded back to three variants across two body styles, with the mid-range Sportline variant returning.

Joining the recently facelifted Octavia lineup, which launched in Australia with the entry-level Select and the performance RS flagship, the Sportline brings sharper styling and greater equipment but with a more docile drivetrain.

Available in both liftback and wagon form, the Octavia Sportline is priced from $46,490 and $47,990 drive-away, respectively – each marking a $4000 increase over the previous Sportline, which only launched in January last year.

There are a handful of new features such as larger wheels, heated front seats and progressive steering (in addition to larger updates to the Octavia as a whole), however, the Sportline has lost the option of a panoramic sunroof ($1900 for the wagon only), as well as power-adjustable front seats, tri-zone climate control and lane centring (previously in the $3200 Premium Pack).

Orders for the Octavia Sportline are now open.
