A Brief Look at the 2017 Skoda Octavia Range

The new Skoda Octavia is now available, for the newcomers, this is an excellent medium sized car from our favourite Czech manufacturer. The Octavia has a regal aesthetic, with plenty of equipment, a keen engine and plenty of safety features on show. Let’s take a closer look at what the Octavia has to offer and help you to make an informed choice.

What Kind of Body Styles are There?

The Skoda Octavia is available as a five door wagon or a five door hatchback. This may seem confusing as the images available seem to indicate that there is a sedan variant as well. The hatchback does look a little like a sedan, the boot is hinged from above the rear window, and it is more like a liftback.

Which Features are Standard Across the Range?

All the variants across the range have a generous amount of equipment fitted, such as: adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, dual zone air conditioning, an 8" infotainment screen, a sound system (with no CD player), USB ports, AUX sockets, a pair of SD card slots, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, Bluetooth connectivity, audio streaming, a sound system with 8 speakers, LED daytime running lights, automatic hill holding brakes, aluminium alloy wheels, a tyre pressure monitor, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and a height adjustable leather wrapped steering wheel with control buttons.

What Types of Standard Safety Features are There?

The Octavia range has plenty of safety equipment on board, such as seven airbags, electronic stability control, and anti lock brakes. These are well complemented by the parking assistance and collision avoidance systems mentioned above. Every Skoda Octavia also has an unlimited three year warranty for additional assurance.

What Kinds of Engines are Available?

The Octavia is a front wheel drive car, the most fuel efficient engine in the range is the Octavia 110 TSI petrol powerplant that uses 5.2L/100km combined. The RS variant has a choice of a diesel or a petrol engine. The Octavia RS 135 TDI has a 2.0 litre diesel powerplant, that uses the same amount of fuel as the cheaper petrol models in the range, yet has 20% more power. Another option is the Octavia RS petrol variant; it has a 2.0 litre petrol engine that is more responsive than the Octavia RS diesel version and generates 40% more grunt than the smaller petrol Octavia’s.
