The Škoda Octavia has made a supreme impact with its looks and capable powertrain options since 2002. It is a versatile and practical car in terms of space, security, design and connectivity. There is no doubt that the Škoda Octavia is the best car in the segment. Let us take a look at some of the secrets you didn’t know about the new Škoda Octavia.
1. UPGRADED DESIGN
The Škoda Octavia has always been a premium-looking sedan with balanced dimensions and an elegant design. Škoda has offered the new Octavia a bold and striking look with split headlamps that are combined into a single housing and a redesigned grille. The car has a prominent appearance; the bold shoulder line that runs over the sides & to the back and the contours on the bonnet make it look remarkable. The 17-inch alloy wheels and the split taillights are the impressive highlights, while prominent Škoda badging makes the back even more striking.
2. INCREASED BOOT SIZE
Škoda has blown everyone's mind away by striking a balance between extravagance and reasonableness. It is a practical, luxurious and premium sedan with massive boot space. It boasts an increased boot space from the previous model of around 600 litres and you can increase it upto 1555 litres by folding the rear seats flat.
3. BACK-FRIENDLY ERGO SEATS
Škoda has taken a massive step forward in terms of perceived quality. Plenty of soft-touch materials with multi-ambient lighting has been used in the cabin of the new Škoda Octavia. The back-friendly "Ergo" seats come with seat ventilation and a massaging function.
4. EXEMPLARY MILEAGE
According to the ARAI, the Škoda Octavia has a mileage range of 15.1 kmpl to 21 kmpl. Even though mileage can be influenced by a few factors, which include the car’s engine and transmission, it also provides better fuel economy.
5. DYNAMIC FEATURES
The redesigned multi-layered theme dashboard and a free-standing central display infotainment system are the main draws in the Škoda Octavia. A 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, a 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Connected Car Tech, wireless mobile charging, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Support, Gesture Control, Cruise Control, a push start/stop button and automatic climate control are a few dynamic features of the Škoda Octavia.
6. HEADS UP DISPLAY
The new Škoda Octavia has a head-up display that projects the most important information, such as speed, the activated driver assistance system, traffic sign detector and navigation, directly onto the optionally heated windscreen. It also has a standard 4.2-inch multifunction Maxi DOT 16-colour display.
7. TWO-SPOKE STEERING WHEEL
Steering wheels have come a long way from their simple origins as an accessory used to steer the car. The newly designed Škoda Octavia’s two-spoke steering wheel contains an airbag and various other controls, which help keep drivers safe on their journey.
8. INCREASED DIMENSIONS
The Škoda Octavia is built on the reworked version of its MQB platform predecessor. The new Octavia offers a comfortable driving and backseat experience with its larger dimensions. It is 4689 mm in length, 1829 mm in width, 1469 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2680 mm. These increased dimensions mean better legroom & headroom with supportive and ample cushioning in the car’s seat.
9. IMPROVED TRANSMISSION
The Škoda Octavia is available in a wide range of options which includes mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. The standard entry-point is marked up by a pair of 110hp (1.0 litre) and 150hp (1.5 litres) which is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
10. ADVANCE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
The new Škoda Octavia is well equipped with advanced safety features such as 8-airbags (front driver, passenger & curtain airbags) that protect the driver and passenger during a collision. Moreover, the car has a multi-collision brake to prevent it from uncontrolled movement, an IBUZZ fatigue alert system that evaluates the driver’s fatigue behaviour and a Park Assist system to minimise the parking hassle in tight spots.
