Thanks to the chassis, the Škoda Octavia has been well-known for its excellent driving characteristics since the first generation. Driven by a McPherson front axle with lower triangular links, it was improved even more thanks to careful development. The result is maximum precision of steering ensuring the car corners smoothly and safely.

The car’s excellent behaviour is helped by a modern multi-link rear axle. Thanks to the unique construction, it affords excellent handling and maximum stability, as well as providing the driver with ideal reaction, primarily in extreme situations. In short, the new Octavia’s chassis does not allow any compromises between comfort and dynamism.

1.4 TSI Petrol Engine

With the new 1.4 TSI/90 kW petrol engine, the Octavia reaches a maximum speed of 203 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds. Combined consumption is only 6.6 litres per 100 km, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 154 g/km.



Automatic Gearboxes

A new feature in the range of automatic gearboxes is a seven-speed automatic double-clutch DSG gearbox for the 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 TSI petrol engines. The unique technology gives DSG transmissions the ability to shift even more smoothly, thus utilising maximum torque. In practice, this means soft and fast gear shifting and favourable fuel consumption.
