Thomas is by far the best car reviewer on TH-cam. He always gives a balanced, humble presentation, in stark contrast to 90% of UK car reviewers, who, for some reason, also think they are comedians!!!!!
I did not know that some other viewers have seen this... God bless Thomas for.his humble approach..no swearing as well unlike most UK's who think swearing is just a norm
100% correct. The UK reviewers are full of agendas and predispositions plus they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Always misinformed and state incorrect info. More importantly never do the door closing sound! THE most important thing. On that alone Thomas smokes them.
I have been very critical of Skoda since owning a Superb several years ago, but selling it due to ridiculous interior cabin noise, and finding the same in the Fabia my wife had and the older Octavia....BUT, this new model Octavia has made a huge leap forwards in interior comfort and refinement, and cutting road noise right back. I've driven one extensively and it really is good. Not as good as my A4 yet but a huge step forward. Suspension dampening is very good too, but it looses control badly in a couple of scenarios only, but still this is a great car.
the opening indeed, only that the back end part is a little flatter, thinking of the handlebars when they are lying sideways? Works anyway caus its big enough :)
@@autogefuehl The right position of carrying a bicylce, is with the handlebar on the left rear seat. This is due to the rear derraileur that should stay on top (it's very sensitive) . For inserting the bike in the car, it's important to have an opening between the ceiling and floor, of at least 80 cms. It's easier to lay it down in hatch than insert like in a drawer (for estates)
The review I've been waiting for! Excellent vocabulary. I have a 2019 245 version and will for sure be upgrading to this once they hit the second hand market 👌
❤❤❤ The rocker shifter is where it should be, dials are big and round as they should be. Infotainment is big with clear graphics. The seats are super comfortable, rear space good and comfortable, massive boot, nippy 2.0cc engine. Can’t fault it. One of the best all rounders for a family. Who needs an EV? And I am not against EVs. Skoda if you listen keep making this legend (has been one since the 1st generation). Thx for reading my post just a humble VRs fan 😊
You are so thorough that makes your videos longer than the tolerance level of lots of people, I believe if you keep the length of your videos under 10 minutes and also show the actual 0-60 of the cars, your channel will be flooded with subscribers
I feel sorry for you that you are not able to concentrate longer than 10 minutes. Probably you are from generation Z. 😉 ah, and by the way only viewers of carwow want to see 0-60 launches. This is the only thing Matt Watson is able to do with all cars
@@autogefuehl O I share many of your fantastic videos! Even to studens from Fontys University of Applied Technology, department of Automotive Engineering!! Please keep up your FANTASTIC work!! Kindest regards, Vincent 🙂
vrs diesel awd with a dsg was probably the best everyday and sporty affortable family hauler you could buy. Practical economical reliable well built and fast.
I know will probably never get the Octavia in Jamaica, but I would really love to get maybe the UK version. It’s such a great car. I love the sedan/fast back version.
Got a pre-facelift version of the car with every single option - including a manual transmission, 3 years together and no real issues except for the infotainment. Not looking to change since there are no choices left for us manual/wagon/sporty enthusiasts anymore.
@@autogefuehl I will, having speced a car just like mine on the Skoda Deutschland configutator - 60k Euro! I paid almost half that in 2021 for mine. You demo was missing power memory seats with massage which are excellent I must say. Needless to say, no manual transmission, few small changes... Only thing I want is the new infotainment system as the one in my car is a bit mehh. Looks like my 21 RS-Plus is gonna stay around for a while.
The sleep pack was an option on my Skoda. Just wondering what happens under hard braking or during an accident? The passenger's head will be thrown forward then thrown backwards at speed. Isn't there a real risk of serious injury if your head is thrown back onto a 'bull horn' as you put it? I'm guessing none of the cars Skoda sent to NCAP had the sleep pack fitted.
This car is like the IKEA of cars especially the back. So many surprising configurations without the need for a screwdriver or even an allen key. I'm starting to like this car
Looks good, but Skoda is now multiplying package options and adding subscriptions to them, while Chinese automakers are increasingly offering fully equipped cars with choices for color and rims included. It’s no surprise VAG is struggling.
This car is great but all the details have been changed were better in pre lift version like lights appearance and even main board speedometers visuals.
the speed warning sounds has already helped me once evading a speeding ticket. the speed in a tunnel was reduced from the usual 90 down to 70, but i didn't pay attention. was driving 90 and the car complained. i realized in time i was speeding and slowed down in order to bring the average speed below 70 and avoid getting flashed
cracking review Thomas, could be my new car next year, if i decide to not to go for a Gen 7 Outback. Pity its not AWD, and has a bit of gloss black plastic that 'nobody wants' and no electric seats 😱😱!! Now stunt filming might increase your viewing stats 😉😉
Great car! Do you know why the extra compartiment on the tunnel between the rear Seat isn’t findable in the brochures? Will also fit on the prefacelift in believe.
@@autogefuehl I was really wondering if they removed fake sound or should we still use individual profile to get rid of the engine fake sound. That could be helpful to know 😊
@@adamruckl8100is that for all market models? "vRS Electronic engine sound" is still listed as standard equipment in the UK brochure for the facelift?
@@autogefuehl Sorry, I did not mean to offend you, I know what that icon is supposed to picture, it´s just matter of angle and resolution of camera and my dirty mind.
About the logo RS the "v" is not the letter V in fact is the pontuation present on the mark "Škoda" on the letter Š, so that is why the knowners of this brand call the Sport Racing version of Škoda tha RS version and not vRS.
The difference between "RS" in Germany and "vRS" in the UK for Škoda primarily comes down to trademark and linguistic reasons. 1. Trademark Reasons: In the UK, the abbreviation "RS" was already long associated with Ford, which had models like the Ford Focus RS and Ford Escort RS. To avoid legal issues and reduce the chance of confusion with Ford's sports models, Škoda decided to add a "v" before "RS" in the UK, branding its sporty models as "vRS." 2. Consistency in Other Markets: In Germany and most other countries, "RS" as an abbreviation for "Rally Sport" was generally available and closely associated with Škoda, so the brand could simply use "RS" without the "v." 3. Meaning of the "v": The "v" in "vRS" officially stands for "Victory" and is intended to emphasize the sporty and performance-oriented focus of these models. Over time, "vRS" became established in the UK, while in Germany and other markets, "RS" was sufficient.
Factory order for me, build week next week. I have a MK4 vrs at the moment so I know what I am getting. It's pretty fast, it's pretty spacious, and I can carry 2 weeks worth of holiday luggage in it and all my fishing gear. Plenty of car for all situations Glad I went for the red as it looks good! Some reds look a bit washed out. I think the aero will be coming off the wheels, they are two tone underneath
@@DaveReynolds-iv1ny around 24th August, didnt get a build date notification until 8th October, there will have been a load of them ordered beacuse they were offering a very generous deposit scheme at the time hatch, velvet red, canton and rear wiper! will not be using the aero inserts for the wheels, a set of gloss grey bolt covers and some centre caps! the wheels are two tone why cover them, I suspect its a european thing, all the chinese and taiwanese reviews didnt have them one, wheels look fine without them
You'd think that after many decades of wagon, someone would put some effort into make the rear seat actually fold flat. That's ~90 liters lost right there, and loads of practicality that could have been.
It is a Czech car. Sadly, the Czech brand is the only one that works in the German-registered VW group now, it made 1/2 of the group's profits last quarter.
@@the_pegasus_gaming I know, that is why I wrote my comment which surely did mean Škoda. Among the BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes-Benz, Škoda brands, the Czech one was the only one that had a significant profit margin last quarter, all the others are struggling and it is apparently getting worse. Those who follow the new car reviews such as this one are not really surprised, however, but Škoda is also the only brand that - despite the success of its EV - remains skeptical about the transition to EVs (although the BMW has partly seen the light by now, too). There are tons of reasons why the German-registered brands are approaching the abyss.
@autogefuehl is it reliable, or can I expect some repairs when it goes out of warranty? I expect to keep the car for a long time, probably 8 years or more
@ A new sub 4 meter SUV was launched in India today by Skoda named kylaq. It looks goods and cheap also. It will be nice if we get that in Germany for the same price 🤗
Now I don't mind if a company cheapens on rear door plastic quality, or saves money by integrating the AC controls into the screen, if they will give us that much of smart and usable features! Well done Skoda.. just put a better looking exhaust next time please 😅
Thomas i’m a bit scared for you. When Lia sees that you having great time filming with some Michele, joking around etc, you might have some non-pleasant conversation at home 😅
56000? In Slovakia I ordered a liftback almost fully spec (without rear airbags and head-up display) for 45000 and with some discounts it went down to 39500. Pretty high price there 🙂 but really good review. Thank you for that 🙂
Hopefully the seats are improved in the new generation. The sport seats in previous gen Octavia RS and Superb Sportline are bloody awful in my opinion and experience.
I don't really get the criticisim over exhaust tips. They are not "fake" if it's serving a purpose of ejecting exhaust gases. Plus having the exhaust pipes completely exposed could be very bad in case of small crashesthat might otherwise only affect the bumper.
for sure the next years wont be easy. It's not that they will go bankrupt or smth, but gains will be way lower and profitability especially in China is shrinking
ford has copyright logo dispute with skoda because of RS? hmmm... there is renault rs... porsche rs...audi rs... no dispute with ford... why has only ford decided to pick on skoda...
Thats crazy to to be excited for gas struts. I mean I bought them from aliexpress for 20euros, literally the same ones. Idk why any car manufacturer wouldnt put them by default

Skoda is like:
-how many trunk floor layers do we need?
- YES
haha yes =)
Like Dr Who and the Tardis.
So many cool features, this might be my favourite car
Skoda made the best progress in interior in the last 10 years! Honestly it feels like Audi inside
Only missing multilink and longitudinal engine like in 3B Superb :D

Probably the most overall practical car model on the market, with the best buy price at the same time.
Great comprehensive review (as usual) of a really good all-round car.
Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏
it looks fantastic, I've always liked Skoda cars
Fun Fact: The hatch has a biger boot opening than the Estate; so, if look for carrying bulky items, (like a MTB) , go for the hatch. I tested myself
the opening indeed, only that the back end part is a little flatter, thinking of the handlebars when they are lying sideways? Works anyway caus its big enough :)
I have the previous gen estate and it fits large frame 29 inch mtb just fine. So both work.
@@autogefuehl The right position of carrying a bicylce, is with the handlebar on the left rear seat. This is due to the rear derraileur that should stay on top (it's very sensitive) .

Wow skoda thinks about everything such clever details!

€63000 and is smaller and less practical
So,felt in the skoda door bins but not in the audi rs3! Unbelievable.

Work as a traveling salesman and hate my company has a stupid car policy with Co2 values.. No shot to have one of these :(
Hey Thomas, would you also get the DCC for a Golf Variant R-Line? Or it's not needed?
For MQB always
@autogefuehl is it reliable, or can I expect some repairs when it goes out of warranty? I expect to keep the car for a long time, probably 8 years or more
hmm i didnt hear that DCC is not reliable, it's more about the general reliability of VAG cars that has not been especially good in the recent years.
Hai Thomas bro. Kylaq has launched in India today. Can we expect that in Germany also?
Hm never heard of it, what is it?
@ A new sub 4 meter SUV was launched in India today by Skoda named kylaq. It looks goods and cheap also. It will be nice if we get that in Germany for the same price 🤗
Pls review the sedan version of same
Hola, hola Tomas, in Poland we also love estate more than sedan 😁 .

Indeed nice❤ and packed with gimmics to distract you from big prices.
13:40 If you fall asleep while driving neck pain will be the least of your worries :D
This could be best vw group car based on this platform. From a Golf R owner..,,😮
What is the acceleration to 100
all stated in the review!
Will be maybe a test of "new" Mazda Mx-5 ??
5:00 small trash bean for sunflower seed or pistachio shells. (-:
What Octavia is better to choose - 2.0TSI 4x4 or RS?
Can you get a RHD for this !!!
yes ofc
The rear number plate is not centered ! Why SKODA, why!?

56000? In Slovakia I ordered a liftback almost fully spec (without rear airbags and head-up display) for 45000 and with some discounts it went down to 39500. Pretty high price there 🙂 but really good review. Thank you for that 🙂
German prices. I paid 35k for liftback with a few addons.
cheers!
Hopefully the seats are improved in the new generation.
The sport seats in previous gen Octavia RS and Superb Sportline are bloody awful in my opinion and experience.
Oh Thomas, wir wohnen dicht beieinander :) Darmstadt-Frankfurt, oder?
waren wir nur für das Review :)
Why does Thomas seem so tall and the skoda looks like a miniature car
I don't really get the criticisim over exhaust tips. They are not "fake" if it's serving a purpose of ejecting exhaust gases. Plus having the exhaust pipes completely exposed could be very bad in case of small crashesthat might otherwise only affect the bumper.
Thomas are you worried about German car industry and Volkswagen future?
for sure the next years wont be easy. It's not that they will go bankrupt or smth, but gains will be way lower and profitability especially in China is shrinking
ford has copyright logo dispute with skoda because of RS? hmmm... there is renault rs... porsche rs...audi rs... no dispute with ford... why has only ford decided to pick on skoda...
Good point, maybe its a thing when it stands alone vs different when its TT RS or 911 GT3 RS
You didn't mention your nemesis this time..the Skoda umbrella
hehe did I really forget them in the long format? Did a couple of reels with those
I find it funny that Europeans try to say that this car is not a VW and or Audis aren't anything like a Seat and etc etc
Poor man’s RS4 ❤❤❤
Thats crazy to to be excited for gas struts. I mean I bought them from aliexpress for 20euros, literally the same ones. Idk why any car manufacturer wouldnt put them by default
If they save £2-£3 on each car just on gas struts (and probably save more), you can easily count how much savings they are doing.
The front is like the designer suddenly scribbled the design
nice to see the return of physical buttons in both the steering and basic controls over the touch-garbage
Just always keep in mind:
Octavia IS NOT a Passat
Is a Golf
❤
The German ˇRS logo looks very similar to vRS but it is not. In Germany, the logo is pronounced "ein gross-Hatschek RS" bitte. ;-)
