STORY

The modern Octavia revived a historic Skoda nameplate in 1996 as the brand's first all-new model developed under Volkswagen ownership, sharing its platform with the Golf and quickly becoming Skoda's best-selling car. Its signature liftback body offers saloon looks with hatchback practicality and a class-leading boot. Across four generations it has grown in size and technology while remaining the value benchmark of the compact family class, with a Chinese Octavia Pro variant sold locally.
