The new Octavia has been officially presented

On the third and… "drugged" generation of Skoda Octavia, with reference points modernization and the new platform, officially presented by the Czech brand, at the premises of Boleslaw.

The new Octavia bases its presence on the brand's new design line introduced this year by the Rapid and which is visible mainly in the front part of the model.

Larger in dimensions and with an elongated shape are the lighting bodies, which also incorporate LED daytime running lights, while correspondingly larger than ever are the fog lights.

From there and back, the roof of the new Octavia is lower than today, while it closes on the trunk less vertically. also, in the back, the trunk has more height, with the new lamps on either side being more squared off with lamps in a 'C' arrangement.

The essential element in the third generation Octavia has to do with the new platform on which it is based, i.e. on the VW Group's volatile MQB platform (new Audi A3, VW Golf VII etc.).

This floor allows the dimensions of the new Octavia to increase (length +90 millimeters-wide +45 mm-wheelbase +108 millimeters), placing it now clearly in the middle category.

Despite this increase, the new platform is lighter (approximately by 100 kilos) Skoda's mid-size car than ever before. Thus contributing to the reduction of consumption and emissions, but also in the better performance of its TSI and TDI engines.

The spaciousness in the upgraded, in terms of quality, interior is again a point of reference, while the trunk capacity has increased by 30 l, from the 560 στα 590 l!

The range of engines - which are combined with manual gearboxes, but also DSG- includes the known 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 TSI, with corresponding performance 105, 140 and 180 PS, but also them 1.6 and 2.0 TDI, with 105 and 150 horses respectively.

Shortly, the very interesting GreenLine version will also be launched with 1.6 TDI to perform 110 horsepower and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), to be remarkably limited to 89 g/km!

In the first phase, the model will be launched -into 2013 and in our country- in front-wheel drive versions, but optionally there will also be the possibility of choosing permanent four-wheel drive.

The equipment of the car is also richer, with automatic parking system, intelligent lighting and driver fatigue detection system.

Skoda Octavia 5 1,6 TDI CR 105PS – 1.410 km. with a filling

With just 15.990 euros that the Octavia5 costs 1,6 TDI one gets a family model that is not only comfortable, but also very economical.

Η Octavia5 1,6 TDI stands out for the quality of the joint, the spaces, the comfort, road behavior, its very good price and low consumption.

Excluding the "TDI" logo on the back and left, nothing else reveals the diesel engine under the hood of the Skoda Octavia5 that stands out for its economy and more. And this is because with them 105 horses easily cope with the family weights that usually accompany a medium length model 4,60 meters, while low consumption is accompanied by limited C02 emissions (119 gr / km) and correspondingly low fees (107 euro).

Their performance 105 horses however inevitably causes comparison with 1.2 Gasoline TSI, which has exactly the same power. The average consumption of the latter is 1,2 lt./100 km. bigger, the resulting traffic fees are 147,4 euro, while on the other Octavia5 1,2 ΤSI costs 2.000 euros less (after the discounts that apply to both models).

Of course we are talking about the same version of Comfort equipment. It is therefore obvious that the one who covers more kilometers will have a substantial and greater benefit from the choice of the diesel version, but also one that often moves at full load.

Motor- Performances: Saves gasoline!

THE 1,6 Octavia5 common rail turbodiesel wins impressions with its torque and fuel economy, while proving to be sufficiently civilized. Otherwise, is active from very low, raises speed easily, no noisy moves the Octavia5 particularly effectively.

In fact, in direct contrast to 1,2 TSI, the 1.6 TDI was slightly faster at 0-100 km / h and obviously more willing to repeat. And all this with its consumption not exceeding 4,5 lt./100 km. and be a key reason to buy.

Interior – Spaces: Stable value

If one excludes the red area of ​​its tachometer 1.6 TDI starting from the lowest - an element that only the extremely observant will detect- there is no other difference in the familiar interior of the Octavia5. So the dashboard is elegant and the quality of construction is meticulous. The materials used are also those in turn good and show a perfect fit.

The spaces remain sufficient for 5 passengers, with those in the rear seat having enough air at their feet and heads. The luggage compartment with volume 560 liters is one of the largest in the class and fully satisfies both its shape, as well as with its opening.


Road takes, road leaves…

If it is a trip, then Octavia5 1,6 TDI will cover with a tank almost 1.500 kilometers. That is, you go 3 times Athens- Patras and you return and you still have oil, while you put 5th and forget about the box for the rest of the trip, taking advantage of diesel torque. The car loaded with five passengers and their luggage, it will not be difficult to make a safe overtaking on the provincial road network.

The suspension is tight, but effectively absorbs road irregularities. At the same time, at high speeds, you appreciate the specific choice of Skoda engineers, since there are no cruising trends and you feel very safe. Beyond that, the road data is familiar with high traction margins, smooth reactions, good steering wheel feel, positive selector and excellent brakes.
