Octavia

Model Description

In both its liftback and estate versions, the fourth generation of the bestselling Octavia has a more emotionally charged look, it is also roomier and safer and comes with even more connectivity options than ever before. The luggage compartment, too, is bigger. The newly conceived interior combines great functionality and ergonomics with ample space, high-quality materials and thought-provoking design features. The head-up display, shift-by-wire system and back-friendly ergonomic seats are technological highlights. Modern connectivity and driver-assistance systems have scaled up safety and comfort even more. The engine range spans economical petrol and diesel engines, a CNG version, a plug-in hybrid drive and mild hybrid technology.
