Skoda: This is the Octavia 2017
Skoda has given its bestseller a clearly recognizable makeover. From the end of the year, the Octavia can be ordered from Swiss garages as a sedan or estate with a redesigned front and rear end, optimized solutions for driver assistance, infotainment and connectivity, and new equipment.

The lines of the 2017 model year are further powerfully streamlined, especially at the front. The two adjacent headlights each form the four-eye face with a crystalline look. New features are added to the numerous Simply Clever solutions previously available in the Skoda Octavia: a personalizable key on which several users can save their individual vehicle settings, as well as a heated steering wheel, folding tables on the back of the front seat, bottle holders that make it easier to open PET bottles, and, in the Combi, a removable lamp in the luggage compartment.
Diesel and gasoline engines deliver from 115 to 184 hp
The four TSIs and three TDIs that make up the engine range combine powerful performance with low consumption. Their displacement ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 liters, and the power range starts at 115 hp and ends at 184 hp. In addition to the manual transmission, a DSG transmission with six or seven gears is available for almost all engines. All-wheel drive is also available for the 1.8-liter TSI and the 2.0-liter TDI. One highlight is the optional Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). It allows the character of the steering and damping to be adjusted in Comfort, Normal and Sport modes. The alloy wheel range extends from 16 to 18 inches and is offered with new designs. Delivery of the new model will take place from the beginning of 2017. Swiss prices have not yet been set.
