Stop comparing a $50K (Audi) car with $25K (Skoda) ... Compare the features that you'll get from the Skoda starter package and the Audi starter package.
The square hole in between the cup holders in the back seats armrest is for tablet holder which is extra.
The most important feature wasn't mentioned. That is the rear boot dampeners - they are quite stiff and tend to make a lot of noise on even tiny road bumps. I contacted my dealer, they are going to change them on every car, many customers were complaining. Great video all around by the way.
Well done mate! Thank you for the very useful info! I like Skoda cars but I guess they go with the general trend of rising the prices & adding more "premium" kind of options (some unnecessary, and some ok) even though they are supposed to be making cars from the general segment. But I guess that's the general trend now, there is no more general cars manufacturer, all claim to have premium models and unfortunately that's not true (and cannot be) except for the prices :) Still I think Skoda does a good job overall and I believe that's why it's very popular in all Europe. Keep up the good work and thanks again for the effort!
Perfectly presented details. You do a great job. Greetings from Slovenia! Pozdrav Zagreb!
Nice presentation. One think i want to add, in my oppinion the fact that in the trunk's floor is lower than it's margin it is a great solution. By doing this there is a lot more space into the trunk. I noticed in last years that many car journalists are presenting this as an complaining, but I don't understand their arguments. I don't see any inconvenient to lift up 10-15 cm the luggage and take it of trunk. I'm a practical person and i see the bigger trunk more important than have the floor at same level with it's margin.
All the best and you make a great job by doing this videos for us!
3:31 you can buy second floor board for extra money. It is not standard on a low budget car 😂🤣
Good review and I enjoy your videos. I just picked up a new last of line Octavia 3.5 1.5 TSI 150. It’s a great car - I came from Golf 6. One small point is the times you say “ahh”. I gave up counting ha !!
Just bought my 22 plate 1.5 TSI S. E. Technology with 4k on the clock,I had 2 issues SOS Activation Button popping and tailgate rattling,sorted by Skoda. This is my second Skoda,traded in my 5 year Kodiaq 2.0 TDI DSG that I bought as a pre- registered vehicle in 2018 and very happy with the brand. Looking forward to 5 years with the Octavia.
08:31 the line in the mirror is lost by the automatic back view sensor. the miror casing makes a flash light if something is in the blind spot, so the line is obsolete 😃
Great Product Review. Every word was important. I am planning to buy one in India and feel satisfied to buy it after your review.
Thank you for details of new Octavia 👍 I usually agree to your critics
Dobar video! Moram nabavit ove gumene tepihe hah
Lane assist on Balkan roads, good joke 😀 great videos by the way. Pozdrav od Makedonija.
Sal felicitări foarte bună argumentele aduse de tine 👍
Brzim proletom kroz Škodin konfigurator ovidim da se može naručiti stražnji brisač i "akustična prednja bočna stakla". Pohvala za video. :)
Maybe you should’ve mentioned that you get three spoke wheel with dynamic trim which includes black roof liner, sport seats, lower ride etc. Also a black mirror covers and a black rear spoiler. The with this option looks sick!
7:26 my Golf VII has water there too after cleaning....😂😂😂
Thank you. I think i was the only one. New cars turn of the light when the turn signal is on... WHY...!!!! Split it up, safety as you say. I´m surprised car maker dont see it
4:57 no white leather in a family car?!? Did have ever made a trip with children under age of 15? If you are not the chauffeur of the president of Halunkistan, you will never buy white leather... 😂🤣😂
xxlbaggy Tesla has white interior that cleans pretty easy.
@@JRCarReviews C'mon you know it is bullshit and I know it too.... if you have white leather and your children have coloured ice cream or juce, it will make a smudge in white leather - in leather of teslar too!!! But anyway the tesla model 3 (cheapest one) is in basic line 42.900 EUR ... skoda octavia is in basic line 21.700 EUR. And you do the same mistake again, that I did write you in the comments. You compare a low budget car with a premium car. ☝😉
Josip Ricov its a 26.000 car. Not 110,000 like tesla.
@@JRCarReviews There are audi white leather equipped cars for sale, theirs won't clean as easily. And I doubt it's real leather-leather on the tesla or it is enhanced with something.
Tanines are what used to apply color on real leather, it won't clean so easily if you sit with jeans all day on white leather.
By the way the octavia inside NOW copies fiat tipo design lol, it's terrible...
@@81giorikas how is it copying tipo, the vag is the same since 2010. lol my Passat 2009 is identical to octavia 3 restyle inside. the 4th octavia is just the evolution of what's old
Дядька, офигенно делаешь материал!
5:45 an extra feature for extra money 3 way aircondition, than you can adjust the temperature for the back seat.... btw on higher lines you have 2 x USB-C Ports there too.... for the tablets etc. 😁
I have style equipment and no usb C in back...
@@vedrananicic2752 it is in optional package
You are right, I support you, but those 30 items are not easy to change.
11:40 In Sweden alcantara seats and dash is available for the new octavia in the business extra package for about 2500 EUR.
Fair comments and crit however every car sadly comes with various imperfections. I have ordered one and will be receiving it sometime in Jan 21 and only once I have driven it for a while I too will find a few things annoying that don't suit my personal needs. Lastly we need to accept the fact that for it's price we aren't going to get the perfect car that suits all and will have to live with the few not so perfect things about it.
Very wisely said, thank you
Svatko ima svoje misljenje, kod moje je zavrsna obrada super, sve na svom mjestu itd, ne smeta mi plastika iza na vratima, takvi su trendovi i moramo se pomiriti s time. Unutrasnjost je top, sve masivno i dobro spojeno, osjecaj u voznji je kao u klasi vecem autu, mirno, bez stresa. Imam je tek nekoliko dana ali zasad i vise nego zadovoljan. Naravno, neke stvari su mogle bit drugacije ali nemres imat i ovce i novce :)
Može samo pitanje koliko ste čekali auto? Meni je receno cca 3mj.
Ja sam svoj vratii nakon 2 mjeseca voznje, skoro poginuo zbog softverske greske
@@MrBenett182 sto se sluci?
@@aleksandarnikolov2331 ne znaju, kazu da imaju problem sa softwareom, cak su i ECU mjenjali, i opet se neke stvari desavaju. Na kraju mi je infotainment i klima crkla zbog softwarea. I auto je kod 80 kmh sam zakocio bez abs-a do 0 kmh.opasno po život. Zamislite da mi se to u tunelu dogodilo za vrijeme sezone u hrvatskoj...
Thank you for the very detailed review. I didn't notice some of the things you mentioned when i was test driving the Octavia.
Still happy with it as i am buying one, but will most likely maybe even add another strip as you mentioned Audi does to make the sound proofing better. Greetings from Bulgaria =]
This was more of critical look at VAG politics. For a full in-depth review check the channel. You will also find day and night POV.
@@JRCarReviews Will do thanks =]
Some features that got missing in MK4,
1) 360° camera
2) ventilated seats
3) camera on OVRMs to check traffic in blindspot
4) Sunroof( its covered in video)
5) Fan speed knob
6) Blind on rear windshield
Sales figures are too low in India - 120-140 pm. Loaded options available at the same price from other players
sa svim primjedbama se slažem,bravo
If everything is logical and made excellent in Skoda, we would call it Audi
exactly, they would like to make it better but they cant, vw will not let them do it..the guy that made-designed superb got fired because its better than pasat...
If we compare Skoda Octavia A8 and Golf 8, Skoda is much better car for less money.
Nice one, mate.
TH-cam reviewers rave about this car like it is the cat's pajamas. Good to see a more nuanced approach.
The middle thing in the rear seat armrest is a spot for a tablet holder.
U mean the electronic device or the medicine?
Kūttū gtfo here
@@drterrible8069 ok will do that doc
@@mronion597 lmao u 2 :D
This car have DCC? ok i checked in the previous video and it isn't. In your opinion, is it worth buying DCC?
11:37 maybe later on L&K model (Laurin & Klement) with white leather seats for the presdent of Halukistan... C'mon it is a Skoda and not a Mercedes.
But nice skoda and just octavia not superb!
Best review/comparison I have seen in years. Please continue doing it
As owner of new gen 2021 after gen 3, I fully agree that virtual cockpit and infotainment are very disappointing even in style equipment. Missing indepth options, without navigation option it is not possible to project google maps to VC, no possibility to change middle part of screen, just poor. Also on previous model there we call button on the wheel and you could dail in 2 steps and now it is in 3 steps + no possibility to hang down the call other then go to infotainment.
Actually new Octavia has climate controls and USB-Cs on the rear seat, just this version doesn't have. It also has an option of faux suede seats which is pretty much the same as Alcantara.
It depends on the Country, and pretty much is not same :)
Not all everything you said was correct so these are some corrections:
- Every car in the class has the hard plastic on the back doors.
- Blind spot is relocated in a better spot where its more visible and the light that lights up is bigger. (you can see it here) www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/models/octavia/the-all-new-skoda-octavia-has-arrived/
- The dashboard can be covered with Alcantara instead of Cloth! (Alcantara can be specced even on non vRS versions).
- Alcantara seats can be specced too with either Fabric or Leather.
- The compartment under the passenger seat is for an Umbrella!
- The infotainment is fully customizable so you can choose what you want to have on the menu.
- Speed limit can be shown in the Digital Cockpit if you choose to see the Navigation.
- MK3 Facelift had a Glossy screen so the sun would bounce of it and into Drivers eyes which is not safe. Also the screen had even more fingerprints than the screen from the MK4.
- Like the Golf, the Octavia also has Adaptive Dampers.
I am not hating I am just correcting :)
Mazda 3 has soft trim on back doors
@@ALEX20hoc BMW 1er and Mercedes A-class too.
Hey, thanks for the comment. This is more of what can be made better. Word "hate" in the thumbnail was more of a clickbait. I was referring to the blind spot divided part in the mirror itself. As far as I have seen in the local configurator there is now Alcantara option for the dash. It just saw a day ago there is now an option for Alcantara leather seats so I guess the local configurator isn't finished. So therefore I was wrong. I want the speed limit without the NAVI.
There are lack of some features on this model since it's not the L&K variant. For example I have seen rear seat temperature control on higher variants.
Ben beğendim.Tek far olunca ön taraf daha güzel gözüküyor.Arkada skoda yazısı da iyi bir hava vermiş.
Wow. Great video I don't like this car anymore. 😂I just stick to my old-old Octavia.
super auto spokojenost perfekt
I have a old skoda and sound proofing can be better like seal around door
This is odd ... here in Czech Republic, you can have full leather or leather/alcantara seats. And if you watch carwow review , Matt has alcantara dashboard, dont know how dou you have it in Croatia though. And you can actually spec white leather seats here.
A few good points and a lot of whining without valid substantiation...
These are incredibly minor things tbh, lots of them VAG cars have had since day one, such as the water ingress half-way into the sills. The rubber being closer to the outside makes it susceptible to the rubber splitting. It happens on Lexus cars in actual fact, especially in rainy harsh road contains of the UK for example. Most of the other critiques relate to standard equipment. Id rather a well engineered car with basic equipment, that one with lots of equipment that forgoes some higher-end engineering.
13:26 I can't belive.... there is a really low budget basic digital cockpit.... never seen here. 😂🤣
take a look here for the virutal cockpit by a German tester th-cam.com/video/rnwLstYJuwc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/KGIxNGpb1Yk/w-d-xo.html
10:45 Basic line....in low budget car 😃
the reversing camera is unusable when it rains. The entry at the rear 7:26 is dirty from the brake dust and tire abrasion at the lower corner, you can see it with white. Software has a lot of errors.
Thanks for good analytics. I agree with most of your arguments. My personal disappointment is that inside cabin size, width has not been increased for better comfort.
d0mm3y1 I have considered 2 adults 1,86cm tall each. Still not comfortable to drive together.
Maybe you should watch your weight lol
I have lane assist on my Scala. I usually switch it off. It doesn't like me overtaking, it doesn't understand sharp bends in the road. I've not tried it on the highway yet.
You need to use your turn signal when overtaking. Otherwise it thinks you’re drifting into other lane. Sharp bends I agree.
@@JRCarReviews well today, I was driving through road works, that involved crossing a white line, but not changing a lane and it wanted me to hit the orange cones. It also warns me I'm too close to the car in front of me as I am overtaking. Just a stupid system trying to be clever. Switch it all off and then it's a nice car to drive.
This car is better looking than new 5 series especially matrix led headlights.
9:10 the standard seats at basic line in Golf or are not better. you need to buy for better seats on this brands too especially in case of Audi. 😎
I think I will be keeping my mrk 3 octavia for a long time . I prefer it over the mrk 4
Interesting! I am in New Zealand and have the mk3 rs hatch back which I just love. I have been watching the reviews etc and I am looking forward to the gen4, particularly like the new rear end treatment. The RS won't be here for another 12 months so I will have the opportunity to see the reviews before I commit I guess. I have the 2L manual 162KW. There have been rumours that they won't bring the manual here but I have been keeping up the pressure to Skoda NZ and it is starting to look a little more promising otherwise I will have to import from the UK and I would rather avoid that. Why do you prefer the mk3 as a matter of interest?
@@jimnolan3636 hi. It’s probably because I am getting on a bit now in my 50s and I’ve always been a ford man in the past no less then three mondeos I’ve had . The reason I stopped getting the mondeo after the mrk 3 was the fact they were getting way to big . The octivia was just the right size also I’ve noticed the 1.2 engine is the same as the non turbo 18 engine in my mondeos power wise. Also I am old school I like a manual handbrake and CD player to much modern technology in cars now for me. One final point worth making brands like skoda and indeed ford used to be value for money but they are constantly putting their prices up close to so called posher brands . I think I keep the mrk 3 for another ten years probably
Why no ambient light in the back? Simple...
The Golf has it, VW don’t allow the Octavia to be as nice as the Golf, it has to be a little less.
I do not agree with all these points. However, a lot depends on the car's equipment level. Not everything can be compared to an Audi, because an equivalent Audi is much more expensive. After 8 months and 13 Kkm, I am satisfied with my choice. There have also been no technical problems with the car. A software update was made in the fall and everything is working normally. This is economical and spacious station wagon. Among other things, the beige content of the black ceiling is very nice. Nicer than the usual dark gray interior.
I think you are picking up on very minor things, and personal viewpoints - it's not an objective review. Also you list things that should be "standard" like 3 zone climate and wireless charging and those are NOT standard in many, many cars including VW and Audi, so why would they be standard and free in Skoda? - pointless. The rear wiper is an option even on a Skoda Superb.
The gap in the glovebox is extra storage, why complain about it?... it was where the DVD player would have been for the SatNav... it was never design to take the service book.
You're just finding fault for the sake of it. Only valid point would be tyre noise if it's true because you didn't show it. Great all-round car, looks like a mini-Superb with all the same design traits.
What's the matter, Trevor, you don't like someone taking on your little toy?
1:53 the dimensions of this wheel are like that because it is an aerodynamic improved wheel. Their are 6 other models of wheels you can buy. But petrol is expensive and if you can save money and do something good for climate, I think it is simply clever.... 🤣😂
Savica 🤗
love my new Octavia -- knocks spots off of the new golf (which I hated)
I still prefer the front of my mk 3
About car noise. Did you try car with optional improved isolation? Is it any good?
I didn't but I would highly recommend optional front double windows.
@@JRCarReviews Thank you for your fast response! I will take it then.
Güzel inceleme selamlar 🇹🇷
well u cant compare mid spec octavia to audi which is double the price for same "features" i dont think few better seals and cup holders justify double price
Fuel consumption ?
Sounds like you should buy an Audi... 🙄
Between Skoda Octavia and VW Golf 8, which do you think is quieter inside at high speeds, has nicer interior materials and drives smoother? What about interior confort? Thank you!
Golf is quieter, Octavia has nicer interior in my opinion, both are smooth on road and comfortable but Octavia has more interior and cargo space.
@@JRCarReviews Thank you for your quick response. About the interior space, I think between Golf 8 Variant and Skoda Octavia is not much difference. Am I right?
@@moraradrian1785 not as much
@@JRCarReviews Between Golf, Octavia and Kia Ceed SW what do you choose? Or, what estate do you think is a best buy?
Sad je malo bolja i ljepša nek prijašnje jer prijašnje Škode doslovce su bile iznutra izgledale kao da češ prevažati cement i alat otraga (makar i zbog toga i imaju 5 vrata i veči gepek &mjesta )
Biggest Thing I don’t like is No 12V socket located inside the passenger area & No USB A , Just the smaller USB C which to me are useless in the UK ,Very disappointing
I dont get the leather hype. Extra cold in cold weathers and extra hot in hot weathers... No pros
Dude be sitting in a Škoda and then complains it's not an audi 🙈 plus half of the complaints could be had as an option.
22:16 because it is Skoda and it is the cheap brand of the VAG Group. It easier to put the button on the steering column and it is cheaper.....
I just wanted to say that I love Croatia and I regret I couldnt go on holiday to your country because of the plandemic :/
Good review, keep on going, today is not easy to find honest review, I have III FL and I think for the octavia4 they should only improve bad things, now the noise and bad ride quality remains and you get many other modren bits from golf8 that I don't like.
14:22 I can't belive too.... never seen here. Digital cockpit of Octavia has normaly 20 options to show you informations.... basic of the basic?!? 😂

Koju suspenziju ima testirani model? Standard ili sport?
Standard
This Skoda is everything the newest VW Jetta would like to be, but it is not.
I can see the cost cutting measures all around VW, Seat and Skoda (I dunno about Audi).
Sometimes I think this must be because of the money they are spending into developing the electric cars?
The answer is yes and no. For most part yes.
Так хотел купить,а ты взял и обкакал все настроение((
10:39 yes, exactly right 👍
Wow great job on putting '2 on trending' in the video thumbnail lol
I hate maximum the climatization control.
In fact I search for a video with the Skoda Octavia IV sedan. In German Reviews you find only the estate car. So I am glad to find this video, but Gerneral Josip: If you hate a car, why do you test it? Skoda Oktavia and Audi A3 have a difference by over 20.000 EUR if you buy it in Germany in same configuration. And by Golf VIII is over 10.000 EUR. Do you really think there are no reason why an Audi is more expensive than a Skoda?
But really bad in this video: You have a basic line and you compare allways to high line Audi or VW. Did you ever seen a really basic line VW Golf, did you??? I think you have with all Skoda cars a good nice car for low budget customers and for normal people in Eastern Europe. I have often seen Skoda cars in Czech Republic. They have basic line Skodas that's extra more basic as all basic line in Germany. I think 20.000 EUR for a basic Skoda Oktavia IV is much more less than for a Golf VIII in basic. But 20.000 EUR is also a lot of money for people that live in Jungbunzlau (Mladá Boleslav)
I cant belive that you got 48'000 subscribers for this unfair testing and making a review like this way.
Anyway - up to 2030 all cars will come from Peoples Republic of China and the VAG Group will own by Chinese....✌
Did you scratch it already?
11:03 Basic screen ..... in basic car. Their is a bigger screen for extra money. 😂
The Style model comes standard with a larger 10" screen
Doesn't seem too fair to be comparing so much stuff to Audi, given the price difference. Great video anyways
Price wise this car came close to A4.
ono , ajmo razvodnit Škodu da bas nam ne usere prodaju golfa ... dosta stvarno iritantnih sitnica ali nažalost i većih za model koji je vec toliko godina na trzistu . previse politike u ovom autu ...
I would also add the inside door handle....it is terrible plastic. It is feel very cheep. They could have improved it with the facelift, but not...
13:52 all new cars of this platform at VAG Group lost the phone button by using the voice comand or using the touch screen.... 😂🤣
Ajme Škoda, zašto takva štednja na krivim mjestima i manjak kontrole kvalitete :( Nekako sam imao u planu mijenjat Yeti za Octaviu 4, ali... sve mi se čini da se to neće tako skoro dogoditi.
I believe that Octavia started to cannibalize sales in the group. So marketing decided to put Skoda to where it belongs as they see it. So it is good, but not good enough. And demanding customers would have to look to VW or Audi.
Area View ? I want see Area View octavia.
6:37 this hole is for a stick. The stick is with 1 or 2 arms for the tablets for your children - to keep them calm by video on long trips. So the 2 USB-C between the frontchairs is in cooperation with it. If you would have children, you would think in an other way about this feature and don't dream about an Audi... 😂🤣😂
13:31 yes indeed the voice comand is not the same like in Volkswagen or Audi.... it is a special low level command for Skoda.... VAG don't want Skoda as producer of premium cars
Why nobody say anything about the wipers and about the fact that most of the rain wiped from the windshield is getting on the side window. They should of made some modification. This is happening since the first generation of Octavia.
Why compare it to a WV or an Audi?? You get what you pay for. When you buy a cheaper car the materials etc. will also be of a lesser quality.
JOK3R If you look at Golf 8 & new A3 it’s pretty similar... you don’t get that much more quality for more money this days. You get more in Škoda for the buck.
Mogao si makar titlove stavit na Hrvatski
Upravo sam shvatio koji slavni auto iz povijesti je imao volan s dva kraka - Wartburg!
Sorry što te pas omeo prilikom snimanja
😂 ma nema problema
I don’t understand why most of the time you are comparing the Skoda to an Audi. Different customers, different product and different price
Piano black is double edged. I am glad park button isnt piano black
why the fuck would somebody want white leather in a car, especially a cheap car like this!?
