Škoda Octavia

Built upon the core values of practicality, reliability and great value for money the Octavia range has been delivering driving satisfaction for over 50 years. The latest Octavia continues where its predecessors left off.

Whatever your needs, there’s bound to be an Octavia to suit you. From the entry level S, to the sporty vRS, to the top of the range Laurin & Klement. In need of a four wheel drive? Then there’s the 4x4, or the even more adventurous Scout.

The latest Octavia is Škoda’s next step forward in the history of this award winning model. With some design and functional improvements, the Octavia improves on what was already a class leading and award-winning predecessor.

With its elegant exterior, the Octavia marries classical good looks with a sense of dynamism and sophistication. Inside, the Octavia benefits from durable upholstery, an outstanding sound system and range of multi functional steering wheels ensuring that the feel of the interior is as exciting as the outside.

Opening the bonnet unveils powerful, fuel efficient direct injection petrol and TDI engines. The list of comfort, functional and safety features is vast and the new contemporary interiors ensure a pleasurable driving experience.

The Octavia has always been based on the timeless appeal of value for money, and the latest incarnation is no exception.

ŠkodaGreenLine II Technology
A combination of innovative technology and practical design features ensure that the Octavia GreenLine II is highly efficient and environmentally friendly. Below is an explanation of the technology present in the Octavia GreenLine II and how it works to keep fuel costs down and environmental impact low.

1.6 TDI CR 105PS DPF
The economical four cylinder 1.6 TDI diesel engine in the GreenLine II produces just 99 g/km CO2 for hatch and 109g/km CO2 for estate, which means road tax for both models, is free for the first 12 months.
The Octavia GreenLine II has an outstanding combined fuel economy of 74.3 mpg, the Estate 67.3 mpg. Reducing fuel costs for the driver and our impact
on the environment.

Energy Recuperation
Energy recuperation is the process of converting kinetic energy (energy created through movement) back into usable electricity, which is either stored in the battery, or immediately used again by electrical components on the vehicle.
Depending on driving style, electrical energy is supplied to the vehicle by the alternator or directly by the battery. The principle of energy recovery is to reduce the load on the engine and therefore contribute to lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption.

Aerodynamics
One of the simplest ways to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, is to create a more aero-dynamic vehicle.
The Octavia GreenLine II has slightly lowered suspension to facilitate better airflow.
To keep the weight and drag of the GreenLine II models down to a minimum and thus ensure the model is as efficient as possible, there is a reduced list of options available.
However, the comfort and safety of all occupants has not been compromised and so important features like airbags and air conditioning have been retained.

Low profile tyres
The Octavia GreenLine II has 15” Pyxis alloys (6J x 15” 195/65 R15 91H) these lighter alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tyres have a higher prescribed air pressure to reduce friction.

Stop/start System
This innovative system turns off the engine when it
is not needed, for example when the driver is stopped at traffic lights or in heavy traffic.
When a normal car is stationary, the engine will idle, which in turn consumes fuel and generates emissions. The Stop/start system cleverly cuts out this unnecessary work by stopping the engine automatically when the car is stationary, in neutral and the clutch pedal is released.
The Stop/start system does not inhibit a quick getaway either. As soon as the driver presses the clutch to put the vehicle in gear, the engine immediately starts up so acceleration is as instant as if the car had been idling.
 
Gear recommendations
The recommended gear feature on the trip computer or Maxi-dot display shows the driver whether the gear they are in is appropriate or whether they need to change up or down.
The aim is to help the driver achieve optimum engine speed and reduce fuel consumption.
