We believe the sum of the parts is as great as the whole. Nowhere does this apply more than with the award-winning ŠKODA OCTAVIA - a car that’s as easy to love as it is to justify.
Not only is it compelling to look at from every angle, but once inside, its connectivity and driver-assist features, plus its host of technological treats, ticks every box for the 21st Century driver. And as always, ŠKODA’ s Simply Clever features puts the OCTAVIA in a class of its own.
That’s Simply Clever. That’s ŠKODA.
The ŠKODA Octavia Sedan is equipped with a variety of simply clever storage compartments, ready to securely store items of all shapes and sizes.
The centre console contains two beverage holders that can also hold smaller items. Practical pockets in the front doors include 1.5L bottle holders.
There’s a flip-open compartment near the driver (to the left under the steering wheel), a warning vest holder under the driver's seat and a storage compartment in front of the gearshift. Depending on the version, the following are standard or optional interior features:
The Volkswagen Group technology behind the DSG (direct shift gearbox) is a world first. Using two clutches and two sets of gears, the DSG transmission intuitively selects your next gear, whilst you’re still driving in your current gear. When it’s time to shift, the change takes place in 0.03 seconds so it delivers a seamless shift without a loss of power.
Our manual transmissions are notable for their shift patterns with short, precise throw.
The 110TSI Ambition and Style are available with Volkswagen Group's 7-speed DSG and the Style 110TDI is available in 6-speed DSG. A 6-speed manual transmission is available on the 110TSI Ambition.
As it is typical for ŠKODA cars, the dashboard of the Octavia has been intuitively designed so that all controls are comfortably within reach of the driver.
Based on the equipment level of your car you have at your disposal various modern electronics including a multimedia information system and top-class assistants.
Style interior shown.
All Octavia versions feature a three-spoke leather multi-functional, steering wheel with chrome details and radio and telephone control.
The Ambition comes standard with a 6.5" touch screen Bolero radio with Bluetooth® phone and audio streaming, USB and 8 speakers.
The Style version is fitted with a 8” touch screen Columbus infotainment system which features Bluetooth® audio and streaming with voice control, USB, AUX and 2x SD Card Slots. In addition, SmartLink smartphone connectivity now comes standard across the entire Octavia range, offering a seamless connection between your car and smartphone using Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ interfaces.
The Columbus is standard on the Style version and available as an optional extra on Ambition at an additional cost.
A car that senses danger ahead? Now that’s clever. Front Assist with City Emergency Brake+ uses a radar sensor to monitor the risks in front of you, alert you of any hazards, and will even brake on its own to help avoid a collision.
+Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
Our engineers have developed a hands-on approach to help identify driver fatigue. Fatigue Detection+ monitors your movement through the steering wheel. If it senses signs of fatigue, it triggers an audible and visual warning alerting you that you need to stop and rest
+Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
The last thing we want to happen to you immediately after an accident - is another accident. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps you maintain control of the car if it begins skidding, while Multi-collision Brake activates the braking system to help minimise any further collision.
It’s good to know what’s around the corner. Add LED headlights with the optional Tech Pack and enjoy AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System). AFS swivels the light beam by up to 15° into turns, anticipating the movement of your car to improve visibility.
Prefill Braking is a safety feature that anticipates your next step — literally. The OCTAVIA can recognise when you may be about to brake sharply and prepares by ‘prefilling’ the brake hydraulics with fluid. It also brings the brake pads closer to the discs, helping you stop safer, sooner.
Some forward thinking for when you’re going backwards. A Rear View Camera+ Rear Parking Sensors, standard across the OCTAVIA range, help you back out of your driveway with peace of mind and tackle those tricky reverse parks with confidence.
+ Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility for the vehicle.
The OCTAVIA is packed with features for a rainy day. Light Assist automatically adapts to changing light conditions, while the rain sensor adjusts the speed of the wipers depending on light or heavy rainfall. Available as part of the Tech Pack.
Here’s a feature you might not have seen coming. Side Assist (Blind Spot Detection)**+ helps you change lanes safely by letting you know if there are any vehicles in your blind spot. If so, an LED symbol in the side mirror will light up, and start flashing if you indicate in the direction of the vehicle. It also takes corrective action if there is a car in your blind spot.
**Included in optional Tech Pack.

A car that gets the door for you? Now that’s service. KESSYΔ can be added so you can lock and unlock your car, and start and stop the engine without having to insert or even handle the key.
ΔIncluded in optional Tech Pack.
As you get to know your OCTAVIA, it gets to know you, too. Driving Mode SelectionΔ adapts engine torque, accelerator sensitivity, power steering, headlight control (where AFS is fitted), DSG transmission, and air conditioning to your preferences, across four driving modes — Normal, Sport, Eco, and Individual.
ΔIncluded in optional Tech Pack.
Parking has never been easier. With a press of a button, Automatic Parking AssistΔ◊ will begin searching for a parking space in a line of cars or other obstacles. When found, the car will steer itself into the space while you simply control the pedals.

If you’re after trip information, the OCTAVIA puts it all on display. Enjoy a colour multifunctional display system that provides additional vehicle information including everything from oil temperature to phone, audio, Driver Assist Systems and navigation data.
When it comes to air conditioning, it’s each to their own. Electronically controlled climatronic air conditioning, standard across the OCTAVIA range, has two zones, so you and your front passenger can each set your own temperature. Plus, the automatic air conditioning system has sensors and mechanisms that monitor and adjust temperature, humidity, direction and speed of airflow into the interior. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
It’s not often you see ‘turbocharged’ and ‘efficient’ in the same engine summary. Our lighter, cleaner, more fuel-efficient engines include Volkswagen Group's turbocharged 1.4 litre 110TSI engine; delivering 250Nm of torque and a combined fuel economy of 5.2L/100km# (for 110TSI 7-speed DSG).
#Fuel consumption figures according to ADR 81/02 derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition and accessories fitted, will in practice in the real world lead to figures which generally differ from those advertised. Advertised figures are meant for comparison amongst vehicles only.
Standard across both petrol variants is Green Tech~, featuring “Start Stop” and Brake Energy Recuperation. "Start Stop" automatically switches the engine off when stationary and starts it again when you want to drive off, while Brake Energy Recuperation uses kinetic energy to charge the car battery when you apply the brakes.
~There are certain operating conditions where the Green Tech “Start Stop” system is deactivated (e.g. during engine warm-up). Please refer to the owner's manual for full operating information.
