Much has always been waiting for this car, the previous generation in our country was very popular. Octavia In the most form, as we already know it, has been produced since 1996, but the model with the name of the Czech company has been produced much earlier, more precisely from 1959 to 1971. Then it was more than a modest machine. The power of the strongest engine was only 55 hp. Technically, the car was, to put it mildly, not advanced, but accessible. So in my homeland, the old octavia was sold too well.

Skoda Octavia car exterior

The appearance of Octavia has changed dramatically: diode running lights, a new lattice, the bumper make a car more stringent, although something from the predecessor remains.

Roof line, for example.

However, experts say that the exterior was not very interesting.

Similar to that corporate design.

Rear headlights, for example, resemble the Audi A4 of the previous generation. The type of body with such a fifth door is called Leftback.

The diameter of the reversal of the novelty is less than 10.5 meters at a length of 4 meters 66 cm. And this is not a bad result.

The new Skoda Octavia is based on the universal platform of the Volkswagen concern. It is called MQB.

It is based on it: Seat Leon, Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3. By the way, the previous generations of the Czech model brothers on the platform were the same.

Interior of the Skoda Octavia version of 2015, or view from the inside

The interior resembles German cars. Everything is concise and nothing superfluous.

Good comfortable seats with excellent side support, which are perfectly adjustable and have a memory feature.

Soft plastic, inserts for aluminum, leather - the quality of the finishing materials does not have any questions.

The space in the cabin itself is thoughtative to the smallest detail: deep pockets, niches for smallest things, cup holders, there is a special compartment for phones, glove box with cooling function.

There is also a multimedia system unit for CD, DVD and CART memory.

In the basic version, the interior is an order of magnitude easier than the top one.

There will be no two-zone climate control, as well as the buttons of the rear windows will disappear, but the machine can be literally assembled in parts and not overpay for unnecessary options.

Rear is spacious and a tall person will feel pretty comfortable.

By the way, the rear armchairs are heated, and a 220 volt socket appeared.

The volume of the trunk is 590 liters, which is equipped with a mass of different meshes and hooks. And this can be said that during the movement it will not hang anything in the trunk in the trunk.

Decently paid a large color display with a touch screen. Video, images, phone, radio - and what is just not.

You can find out all the detailed information about the technical condition of the car. For example - tire pressure monitoring.

The on-board computer control buttons are built on the steering wheel, so as not to be distracted from the road.

But the main chip is a voice control - the car is talking to you.

Comfort in the car

As for comfort when moving, everything is fine here. The suspension is very soft and small irregularities and small pits the car simply does not notice.

And even a surjoy police special discomfort did not deliver.

Safety mainly meet computers. Starting with adaptive cruise control and ending with the Preventive Protection System Crew Protect Assistant, which advanced the front belts in advance and raises the windows when the collision is no longer avoided.

The machine itself regulates the far light, recognizes the driver's fatigue, reads the road signs and follows the strip.

The cabin has a built-in CANTON audio system with 9 speakers, subwoofer and amplifier.

The sound is sucked by a juicy - a concert hall on wheels.

Noise isolation, too, at the level and passing by cars are not annoyed.

You can sum up and evaluate our car

In 2006, British journalists conducted research and found out - Octavia is the most trouble-free. In terms of reliability, the machine was ahead of the rating and GOLF AUDI and A3 of the previous generation. And one more interesting fact.

In Europe, the model in the body wagon is much better for sale. We have it called Combi. It is said that this is the standard of practicality for a family man.

The simplest Octavia goes paired with five-speed mechanics. The box is already a little outdated.

Well, for top versions to choose a six-speed mechanic.

There are also six or seven-band DSG for diesel and gasoline engines, respectively.

By the price-quality ratio, Octavia will not lose the title of one of the market leaders. In the asset we can safely record capacity, practicality and functionality. But the design causes mixed feelings. Create a unique image designers could not. Prices Next:

- Gas version costs 644 thousand. rubles;

-Top package will cost 1019 thousand. rubles;

-Mine with a diesel engine will be even more expensive by about 50 thousand rubles. The price of the car is approximate and naturally can change.

To be honest, this car left rather pleasant impressions and most likely leftback in our country will become a bestseller.
