The new features and layout of the interior emphasise even more the feeling of comfort and safety. The Octavia now offers a completely new generation of three and four-spoke steering wheels as well as new radio sound systems.

The instrument panel demonstrates elegant well organised design with soft touch-friendly surfaces. White LED illumination provides an elegant contrast against the black instrument panel while the traditional green under-lighting of the rest of the electronic components is distinctively Škoda.

The new materials and colours of the seats and the lining of the door panels correspond to the most modern trends, as do the new decors of the instrument panel for each trim level.

The new Octavia is equipped with the most advanced motor technology found in modern cars today. The new Octavia is available with five petrol and three Diesel engines and a range of manual and automatic gearboxes.

This includes a revolutionary 7-speed DSG  automatic transmission specially developed for our new petrol 1.4 TSI/90 kW (122 bhp) and 1.8 TSI/118 kW (160 bhp) engines.

The new Octavia has a broad range of engines with various outputs in both petrol and Diesel. Petrol engines range from the 1.4 MPI/59 kW (80 bhp) to the most powerful 2.0 TSI with an output of 147 kW (200 bhp). The Octavia’s Diesel offering includes the choice of three turbo charged engines with an output of 77 (105 bhp) and 103 kW (140 bhp), or a common rail fuel injected 2.0TDI with an output of 125 kW (170 bhp) found in the Octavia RS.
