Skoda Auto Australia has announced pricing and key details for the updated Octavia Hybrid (mHEV) and the new Superb Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). The two models expand the Czech carmaker’s electrified lineup in Australia, offering efficiency, long range, generous standard equipment, and strong pricing with its traditional focus on space, practicality, and value.
The Octavia Hybrid starts from $43,990 (drive-away) and is scheduled to arrive next month, while the Superb PHEV begins at $66,990 (drive-away) and is already on sale.
Octavia Select Hybrid (mHEV) range
The 2026 Octavia’s mild hybrid (mHEV) powertrain, available in two variants, replaces the entry-level 1.4L 110TSI petrol-only models in Australia.

The wagon trim costs $1,500 more in RRP, translating to about $2,000 more in drive-away. Skoda says the pricing makes it one of the most affordable European hybrid cars in Australia.
