The Škoda Octavia is a small family car (C-segment in Europe) produced by Czech automaker Škoda Auto since 1996. Its name is revived from a model originally produced between 1959 and 1971. The current Octavia is available in five-door liftback and station wagon models.
The car is based on a Volkswagen Group platform shared with the Volkswagen Jetta. There have been two generations of the Octavia model to date. A high performance version, the RS or vRS is also available.

The first generation Octavia was released in November 1996 and was built at the modernized Škoda factory in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic.[2]
In the United Kingdom, sales began in 1998 and the mid-size car was an instant success with buyers who appreciated its solidity, refinement and value for money, though it could not quite match the success of established large family car favourites such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra.[4] The car was widely used in the UK taxi trade, due the large number of private hire drivers who used the vehicle due to its low price [and advantageous leasing agreements directed at the self-employed taxi driver], space and reliability.[citation needed]
The first generation Octavia had a facelift in 2000,[5] and was still manufactured and marketed in some markets, even after the second generation was introduced in 2004. In Germany, and other parts of West Europe, as well as Asia, the first generation model was marketed as the Octavia Tour, while the newer model is marketed as the Octavia. In some markets, the first generation Octavia was still known as Octavia, and the newer model was referred to as the new Octavia, Octavia5 (Greece) or Laura (India).
The major improvements of the facelifted model are the independent rear suspension and improved interior, in terms of space, design and quality of materials.[6]
The facelifted Octavia featured a 4x4 wheel drive version both for the estate and more popular liftback models, and used the Haldex Traction clutch, like other Volkswagen Group A platform based cars (Golf IV, Audi A3 and Seat Leon Cupra R4). It had higher ground clearance and a bigger fuel tank carrying 63-litre (17 US gal; 14 imp gal) compared to the 55-litre (15 US gal; 12 imp gal) standard front wheel drive versions. The 4x4 option was only available with the 1.8 T 150 bhp (112 kW; 152 PS) petrol engine, the 1.9 TDI 90 bhp (67 kW; 91 PS) diesel engine, or the 2.0 L petrol engine, all coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and with the 1.9 TDI-PD (Pumpe-Düse) 100 bhp (75 kW; 101 PS) diesel engine which came with a 6-speed manual gearbox.[7]
The other 6-speed manual model was the 1.9 TDI-PD 131 bhp (98 kW; 133 PS), only available with front-wheel-drive.[7]
The vRS was the top-level and quickest specification and used a 1.8-litre straight-4 turbocharged engine which produced 180 bhp (134 kW; 182 PS). Škoda made a limited number of 100 WRC Replica Cars worldwide in 2002. These differ from normal vRS Octavias, as they are produced in white, have rally decals and have additional accessories as standard (such as ESP, xenon lights, heated front seats). The vRS model was also popular with the UK police, both as a traffic car and as an unmarked Q-car, due to its low cost, reliability, performance, and understated styling.[citation needed]

The second generation Octavia was introduced in March 2004, based on the Volkswagen Group A5 (PQ35) platform also used by other Volkswagen Group cars, such as the Audi A3 Mk2, Volkswagen Golf Mk5, Volkswagen Jetta Mk5, SEAT León Mk2, etc. Responsible for the design were Thomas Ingenlath and Peter Wouda. Along with a new internal combustion engine range, also shared with other models of the Volkswagen Group, body changes included more legroom for rear seat passengers (a weak point in the original model) and increased ground clearance at front and rear to reduce the risk of grounding on steep ramps or facing kerbs.
In addition to the Czech factories in Mladá Boleslav and Vrchlabi, from 2008 the Octavia has also been produced at a factory in Bratislava, Slovakia,[8] and in Shanghai, China, under the joint venture of Shanghai Volkswagen.[9]
In India, the second-generation Octavia is marketed as the Laura to distinguish it from the first generation.[10] The car is marketed in a higher segment,[ambiguous] and was sold alongside the previous generation Octavia. However the first generation ended production in India in 2010,[11] and as of 2012 the Laura's price has been reduced and is now competing in its predecessor's segment.
There are two four-wheel-drive versions of the Octavia: the 4x4 and the Scout, both featuring a Haldex Traction four-wheel-drive system, based on a computer-controlled clutch centre coupling. The two models both have higher ground clearance than the standard Octavia, increased by 24 mm (0.9 in) for the 4x4 and by 40 mm (1.6 in) for the Scout. The Scout, announced in 2006,[12] is only available with the estate body style, and has several crossover style exterior modifications, such as larger bumpers.
In August 2011, a special Škoda Octavia vRS hit the world record on the American Bonneville Speedway and became the fastest car in world with an up to 2-litre engine, when it hit 365.43 km/h (227 mph).[13]
Engines
There are several internal combustion engine options available.[14] All engines are inline-four cylinder designs, water-cooled and utilise multi-point fuel injection. All diesel engines are Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engines.

Trim levels
In the UK, the Octavia is available in the following trim levels: Classic, Ambiente, 4x4 (estate only), Elegance, Laurin & Klement, Scout 4x4 (estate only), and vRS. All models come with four airbags, electric front windows, air conditioning, central locking and anti-lock braking system. On some markets, including British[15] and Czech,[16] a version aimed to lower fuel consumption called Greenline is also available. As of September 2011, trim levels have been renamed to Active (Classic) and Ambition (Ambiente).
Facelift
A facelifted version was launched in 2009, after being formally unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.[17]
The modifications of the facelifted version include aesthetic exterior changes, mechanical changes and interior features.[18] Externally, the designs of the headlights and bumpers were revised. There were some changes to the range of available engines and manual and automatic gearboxes, with the 1.4 TSI and 1.8 TSI engines and the 7-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) transmission available for the first time. Inside the car, the stereo and steering wheels were revised, along with some of the interior trim.

The third generation Octavia was revealed on 11 December 2012, at the Škoda museum in Mladá Boleslav.[19][20] In the Slovak online configurator of model Fabia, it was possible under certain circumstances also get shown the new Octavia vRS.[21]
The new model will be 9 cm (4 in) longer and 4.5 cm (2 in) wider than the second generation and the wheelbase will be extended by 10.8 cm (4.3 in). It is also up to 102 kilograms lighter than the previous model. At the interior, an 8-inch touch-screen display, also used in the Volkswagen Golf, will be available, as well as an electric panoramic roof. The luggage compartment will have a volume of 590 litres (21 cu ft).[22]
It will feature new safety equipment such as forward collision warning, driver fatigue detection system, driver knee airbag, rear side airbags and active bonnet. Other assistance systems that will be available are lane-keeping assistant, adaptive cruise control, parking assistant or traffic sign recognition system.[22]
Engines will be in the range of 86–179 PS (63–132 kW), and a GreenLine version, that will be producing only 89 grams of CO2 per km, will also be offered. All-wheel drive transmission will be added a later point for the RS and Combi versions.[22]
Previously, photos of the car covered in light camouflage were released to the media in late October 2012,[23] after other pre-production cars had already been spotted on several occasions during the same month.[24][25][26]
It was once again spotted, this time without camouflage, on 18 November 2012, in Santiago, Chile, in both liftback and estate body styles, during the filming of a TV advertisement.[27]
Comparisons
|
The German automobile TV show Auto, Motor und Sport compared the Škoda Octavia with its cousin, the Volkswagen Golf Mk5, and concluded that the Škoda Octavia was slightly better than the Volkswagen Golf owing to a little more interior space and other specific ergonomics, better build quality, better driveability, and a lower price.
In their 2006 survey, the British automobile magazine Top Gear placed the first-generation Octavia into third place, and described it as a "masterpiece of dependability". The second generation was too new to be included in the survey.
The British automobile magazine Auto Express awarded to the second-generation Octavia the gold medal in their prestigious Driver Power top 100, stating that it is "the UK’s most satisfying car to own in 2007" and that it "has bettered every other car on sale in the UK".
Along with other Škodas, the Czech-built Octavia has been a markedly reliable vehicle – more so than the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf, with which it shares platforms. In 2006, Warranty Direct, a UK-based provider of mechanical warranties for used cars, rated Škoda the top manufacturer (above Mazda and Honda), while Audi came seventh from bottom. The Octavia specifically had a reliability index of 32.74 (lower being more reliable), while the Golf produced over the same period was 87.28, and the Audi A3 99.43.
