The All-new ŠKODA OCTAVIA: Take a Look Inside

Two design sketches by the ŠKODA Design Department shed light on the new interior concept. The next-generation OCTAVIA’s newly shaped dashboard is split into several levels which, in the way their lines and colours are fashioned below the large and free-standing central display, allude to the shapes characteristic of the ŠKODA radiator grille. The visual width of the dashboard enhances the impression that the interior is generously roomy.

The new interior concept also features a two-spoke steering wheel with buttons and scroll wheels for easy operation of the various functions.

“The shape of the dashboard has been inspired by the typical ŠKODA face and offers support for your hand when you are using the free-standing central display. We have also created a brand new design for the steering wheel and, for the first time, our automatic transmission features a shift-by-wire system, which has enabled us to design a central console with a completely new feature. This has influenced a lot of the interior design, too,” says Oliver Stefani, head of ŠKODA Design.
