New Škoda Octavia

Even better, more spacious, safer, more connected and more emotive than ever: with the launch of the fourth generation of its bestseller, ŠKODA has reached new dimensions. The heart and engine of the ŠKODA brand is longer and wider than its predecessor, has an even larger boot and is even more emotive thanks to the new ŠKODA design language. The new interior concept combines an excellent amount of space and outstanding functionality with high-quality materials and clever details. Innovative connectivity and new assistance systems raise comfort and safety to an even higher level.

Interior

In the newly designed interior, the OCTAVIA offers a new two-spoke steering wheel, which can be heated as an option and – if ordered as a multifunction variant – comes with new control buttons and knurled scroll wheels, allowing drivers to operate a total of 14 different functions without removing their hands. The dashboard, which has also been redesigned, is modular and has been arranged in different levels, featuring a large, free-standing central display. The centre console is elegant, uncluttered and adorned with chrome details – as are the new door trims and handles. New and soft-touch materials lend the interior a premium look, while the new LED ambient lighting provides a special visual touch for the front doors and dashboard by indirectly illuminating them in a choice of ten different colours – even in a variety of colours if desired. Coordinated lighting scenarios can also be selected .

For the first time, ŠKODA is offering particularly back-friendly seats as an option in the new OCTAVIA. They are available from the Ambition trim level upwards and come with electronically adjustable lumbar support as well as an electric massage function, their length and height can be adjusted and the seat surface extended – even in their entry-level variant; heating is optional. Sports seats are also optional and are covered in a particularly breathable ThermoFlux fabric. The Ergo seats will later also be available with Alcantara^® covers – for the sporty RS models too – as well as with Alcantara^®/leather covers for the OCTAVIA SCOUT and will then also include electric adjustment with a memory function. The top version of the ergonomic seats bears the seal of approval of the German Campaign for Healthier Backs, comes with a ventilation function and perforated leather upholstery as well as heating as standard.

Exterior

The new front apron and the razor-sharp, narrower, new headlights featuring LED technology for the low beam, high beam and daytime running lights as standard are a visual delight. The tail lights, brake lights and fog lights also feature LED technology. The newly designed, shallow roof rails emphasise the elongated silhouette of the OCTAVIA COMBI, while the hatchback looks almost like a coupé. The latest developments in ŠKODA’s design language are characterised by sculptural elements, precise lines and modern, clear surfaces, and lend the car an authentic as well as dynamic appearance, creating a high-quality look.
