# Škoda Octavia full hybrid powertrain launch > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/koda-octavia-full-hybrid-powertrain-launch > Updated: 2026-10-26T08:15:02.000Z. Sources: 23. Developments: 4. Škoda has introduced its first full hybrid powertrain for the Octavia, available in both hatchback and wagon body styles. This series-parallel system utilizes a 1.5-liter TSI evo2 petrol engine paired with two electric motors and a 1.6 kWh battery, and unlike previous mild or plug-in hybrid offerings, it does not require external charging. The powertrain operates in three modes: pure electric for short urban distances of approximately two kilometers, a series hybrid mode (primarily for speeds up to 60 km/h) where the petrol engine acts as a generator, and a parallel hybrid mode for higher speeds. The system features one motor serving as a generator and starter, and a second, more powerful motor that drives the front wheels and recovers energy during deceleration. The battery is designed to maintain a state of charge between 40% and 90%. Technical specifications for power outputs vary across reports. Some indicate 100 kW (136 hp) and 125 kW (170 hp) versions, while others specify 136 kW (185 hp) and 170 kW (231 hp) configurations. One report notes that the hybrid battery reduces the liftback’s trunk capacity to 460 liters. The technology shares an architecture with the Volkswagen Golf and T-Roc hybrids. Orders were expected to open in October 2026, with deliveries anticipated to begin in late 2026 or early 2027. ## Claims - Škoda has introduced full-hybrid versions of the Octavia.
