SKODA team expands the customizable features of the 2016 Octavia lineup. Known for its reliable drivetrain system and comfortable cabin, the vehicle will now benefit from even more utility and convenience gadgets!

Of course, the part of the vehicle that deserved most attention was the cabin. Now the new SKODA Octavia can welcome anyone to a wider and more spacious interior place that also showcases revised instrument panel, new generation of technologies and of course, this impeccable, yet revised SKODA feeling.

There are some key changes: first of all, there are additional colors and materials that shape the interior. Ambition trim level is the first one and it features black/brown combination and entirely black instrument panel.

Style and Lauin & Klement upgrade packages come with numerous decorative strips in the doors with ambient lightning and sweet narrow light guides. Sweet.

Exclusively for the compact class, SKODA team ensures 73mm more space for the combi variants. At the same time hatch and Estate versions increase their boot volumes to up to 590 liters and 610/1740 liters respectively. Also exclusively for the combi models, there is additional electric boot door as an option, as well as many clever solutions for the luggage compartment as variable loading floor, multi-functional shelf and luggage net partitions.

There are also new “Simply Clever” additions for all new models. For example, there are special bottle holders (of such importance), removable LED flashlight, fitted front and backseats with folding tablets. Cool. Also, there are two additional goodies for the comfort pack: heated steering wheel and three customizable keys. These keys respond to driving profile selection, assistance systems customization, indoor and outdoor lightning, as well as the climate control setting and the infotainment adjustment.

Future buyers will also be pleased to know that there is cool Swing audio system, along with smartphone integration and new SmartGate features that allow driver and passengers to retrieve vehicle data from smartphone. There is also new Amundsen navigation system, LTE module on request and Wi-Fi hotspot.

These and many more are available for Octavia enthusiasts and fans. Hopefully, newer models will come with even better additions that are part of the standard equipment. From the beginning of production.

The 2017 range of SKODA Octavia becomes even more appealing, thanks to the numerous dynamics and efficiency improvements. One of the most notable changes is definitely the new high-tech, three-cylinder turbo petrol power unit and the adaptive DCC that is optional for units with 150 hp or more.

This unit replaces the 1.2-liter one and offers 115hp (85kW) and 200Nm of torque between 2,000 and 3,500rpm. In fact, this is the first three-cylinder unit to be installed in the Octavia that features sophisticated acoustics and excellent driving dynamics.

Combined with a 7-speed DSG, the new 1.0 TSI accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 9.9 seconds and has a top speed of 228km/h (126mph). The combination with a 6-speed manual reduces the sprint to 9.6 seconds.

Some achievements were also made on the fuel consumption efficiency that is measured at 62.8mpg with emitting 105g CO2/km with the automatic gearbox. There is also an optional aero pack with some more improvements on the fuel efficiency: it brings lowered sport chassis, active air flaps, a tailgate or roof spoiler and low rolling resistance tires. Sweet.

In terms of convenience and utility features, the 2017 Octavia comes with special infotainment system with Modular Infortainment Matrix, Wi-Fi hotspot, Amundsen Infotainment navigation system and some additional SKODA Media Command apps.

Skoda Octavia RS 230 is showing revolution in company’s design language and it will be debuting at the Geneva Motor Show this March. The top of the range model will be an example not only of roominess combined with comfort, safety and efficiency, but most importantly of sports-oriented driving experience. And we are almost sure that we won’t be disappointed when we see the car in its full glory in the Swiss city.

The new special edition is inspired by the racing legacy of Skoda and this is visible not only through its sports-related exterior design elements, but also though it’s interior. Of course, the most substantial feature of this car is its turbocharged powerplant.

As the name suggests, Octavia RS 230 will produce no less than 230 horsepower. In fact, this is the first ever model created by Skoda, which will be equipped as a standard with an electronically controlled differential front axle lock. It will play an important role in dynamic cornering.

The 230 horses (or 169 kW) come directly from the two-liter gasoline engine, which is also responsible for the breath-taking acceleration time. Precisely, the car needs only 6.7 seconds for the acceleration sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. The top speed stands at 250 km/h.

These numbers make the model the fastest Octavia ever produced in company’s history. After the Geneva debut, Skoda has decided to introduce the vehicle on the market. In other words this means that we will see its launch in the dealership in June this year.
