The entry of Skoda into the Indian market was a surprising one. It marked its entry when the Indian car market was filled with models from Korean and Japanese big brands. The Czech Republican arrived into the luxury segment with its Octavia and Laura models. While Octavia was received very soon, Laura took time to get acceptance. But with its magnificent features, Laura made its appeal truly inviting and grabbed the hearts of car lovers in India. Skoda following the success of Laura brought out another version Laura Ambient, which also like Laura made a silent entry. But this model also like its predecessor tasted the nectar of success. The elegant Skoda Laura had to face Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry in its segment.

The Power and the Technology
The Laura from Skoda is based on the A5 platform, accompanied with cutting edge technology that makes it best for Indian roads. This luxury car has a 1.9 Pump Dense Technology engine which blows out low emission which is BS III complaint. It has a top speed as 189Kmph and has automatic and tip-tronic transmission. The Skoda Laura has McPherson suspension in the front while the rear wheels carry multi-element axle with one longitudinal and three transverse links.

Laura like any other model from Skoda has amazing exteriors that gives it a royal and enticing look. This 5-seater luxury sedan has a shining fully galvanised body. Its interiors are well designed assuring maximum comfort to the users. Skoda also has not forgotten to maintain excellent safety options in this car that guarantees full security to the user. Available in 5 colours in India to choose from including Storm Blue, Candy White, Black Magic, Diamond Silver and Sahara Beige, this car with 11-16 kmph fuel efficiency on the city roads costs Rs 16-17 lakhs in India. This premium car is really a gift for the car lovers. No doubt in that.
