If you're in the market for a large family car with unrivaled interior space, then a used Skoda Octavia is a great choice. This sleek car is extremely practical and provides excellent value motoring. Available engine options add further excitement to the lineup, making the Skoda Octavia enjoyable to drive both in the city and on the motorway.
New Octavia models are offered with a range of powertrain options. There was briefly a plug-in hybrid variant, but it has been removed from the lineup.
PetrolThere are few cars as comfortable as the Skoda Octavia, which provides ample space for the entire family.
Interior spaceWith the release of the very first Octavia in 1998, Skoda hoped to change the way that the Czech brand was perceived in the UK. It is now in its fourth generation and is more successful than ever. With each new model, Skoda has worked diligently to upgrade the design and technology, keeping the lineup relevant to British buyers. The Octavia has recently won 'Best Family Car for Practicality' due to low running costs, a spacious interior and comfortable seating.
The second-generation Octavia debuted in 2004, sharing the same mechanical platform as the Volkswagen Golf. It slowly moved away from being known as a budget car, and was now looking to compete against companies such as Fiat, Vauxhall and Renault. It featured a bold new grille that tilted backwards complemented by wedge-shaped headlights.
A 2008 refresh offered both an interior and exterior redesign with added technology. The headlamp design was bolder, the grille was restyled, and new lamp covers were added to the back. Inside the cabin, higher-quality materials were added and updated fabric upholstery was made available.
In its third generation, the Octavia's cube-like design was highlighted with clear edges and straight lines, topped with angular headlights and a grille that held 21 vertical slats. Behind the grille was a new radar system that was used for advanced safety technology. The secondary grille was designed to provide more cooling to the engine.
During a refresh in 2017, rear taillights with smoked lenses were added to modernise the exterior look. Skoda also installed a new infotainment system with an available 9.2-inch display. Safety features were enhanced, adding available traffic sign recognition, Pedestrian Protection and City Emergency Brake.

For the fourth generation of the Octavia, Skoda released both estate and hatchback models. The long hatchback shared underpinnings with the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. Some of the exterior upgrades included angular headlights holding L-shaped daytime running lamps and a wide hexagonal grille with a chrome trim.
Interior features were also upgraded, with top trims including Alcantara upholstery, a floating touchscreen infotainment system and aluminium pedals. The Octavia also came with an available head-up display, plus heated and ventilated seats for more comfort.
In 2024, a refresh revealed an Octavia with new Matrix LED headlights and a lower bumper and side scoops for better air intake and lower drag. Inside, technology also advanced with a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a new AI assistant, along with a 10-inch instrument panel for the driver.

The 2.0-litre TDI has proven the most popular amongst British drivers thanks to its impressive fuel economy, towing performance and high-speed cruising ability.
The newest Skoda Octavia models come in four trim levels: SE, SE Technology, SE L and vRS. These are the same trims for the hatchback or estate, making the SE option the most cost-effective, while the vRS has the best power options and the most technology included. Currently, the most popular trim level for the Skoda Octavia is the SE L.
Look out for Octavia models with styling accentuations, such as bigger wheels and high-end upholstery. Technology upgrades can include a satnav system that works with the 10-inch touchscreen and an 8-speaker sound system.
The Octavia is one of the best family cars on the road today. In hatchback and estate form, it offers class-leading interior space with many of today's comforts. Newer models have hybrid technology that makes the engines more efficient.
TSI (Turbocharged Stratified Injection) and TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) are acronyms used by the Volkswagen Group for the fuel injection systems in its turbocharged engines. TSI is a direct progression of the TFSI (Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection) used in multiple VW Group vehicles.
Throughout the years, different powertrains have been available with an automatic transmission. The newest Octavia lineup comes with either a 6-speed manual or a DSG automatic transmission.
The Skoda Octavia lineup has been available with all-wheel drive options for more traction. There are also front-wheel drive variants that provide more than enough capability in most driving situations.
