The new Skoda Octavia Design Preview in Grey

Škoda Auto has updated the hatchback and estate versions of its iconic Octavia.

With more than 7 million units sold, it is by far the brand’s best-selling model.

Its fourth modern generation has now been given a freshened look that includes a revised Škoda grille and new second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights.

The comprehensive standard equipment offers features like a dual-zone Climatronic system or a 10‑inch Digital Display (to become available later).

Furthermore, the share of sustainable materials in the interior has increased.

For an even more advanced in-car experience, the AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT will be integrated into the Laura voice assistant later in 2024.

Additional safety and assistance systems enhance active and passive safety and a new range structure provides additional individualisation options.

The Škoda Octavia is available with a range of technically advanced, efficient four-cylinder engines – four petrol units and two diesels.

Power outputs range from 85 kW (115 hp) in the two entry-level variants to 195 kW (265 hp) in the Octavia RS.

The 2.0 TSI with 150 kW (204 hp) is due to be launched at a later date and will come with all-wheel drive as standard.
