Skoda India Launches the Laura Ambiente

Once more Skoda launch another variant of the Laura.This time its the Skoda Laura Ambiente which is priced at Rs. 13.21 lakhs[ex-showroom] making the laura now look an extremely value for money proposition.

From an initial OTR price tag of nearly Rs.20Lakh to the now about Rs. 14 lakh OTR ,the Laura certainly has come a long way,yes a few features have been trimmed off but I guess Indian consumers would be more happier with this Base version than the Rs. 20Lakh Laura.I expect the Laura sales to pick up further however this would also mean the end for the present older generation Octavia is nearing with sales going to take a further hit from its sibling,the Laura.But that surely should not worry Skoda.

The new variant still comes with two airbags, traction control system (ABS and ASR), rear-parking sensors, and automatic wipers with rain sensors.The Hindu have reported a 1.7L PD TDI diesel engine but have checked with skoda and the engine remains the 1.9L PD TDI one only.
