One great thing VW Group is doing are these tinted windshields. Does anyone know the code on the glass, is it produced by Saint Gobain ?

Great review and love the look of this car. The interior is also really really nice. Probably my favourite variant on this platform.

Great review as always. Waiting for the 4x4 diesel review.
Awesome review as usual!
We have a Golf7 variant 1.5 Bluemotion and that gets about 6-7l/100km so the 7 is great for this, while carrying extra weight.
I'd go with the PHEV as the electric city driving is great. (and I wish the normal Octavias had a blackout exterior option, I don't like that chrome bezel on the front grill after seeing it in black)
Hey Thomas, some constructive criticism: maybe you could explain the preheat / cool function or at least mention it a bit more detailed since most of the PHEV do have it. (is it possible to configure with an app other than the additional key for instance) However the Skoda Octavia RS IV lets you configure a separate parking heater in the german/austrian configurator which for me is a bit confusing. Mercedes and BMW do not give this option when choosing a PHEV. Also you again did not mention if Apple Carplay is possible wirelessly. It is indeed a technical detail most of us younger viewers do want to know. Otherwise as usual a very good review of the autogefühl team. Stay healthy!
Hello, Thomas, I would be happy if there is a camera to record the dashboard. This will also show the fuel consumption and different driving patterns, especially for plug-in hybrids. Greetings from Bulgaria .
For recuperation. I think the B-mode was removed because there seems to be a new setting in the car. Smart recuperation, where map and radar is used to decide if the car should roll or it should recuperate. Or you can set it to low/high
You can select 3 different types of recuperation in car settings, so not only the car has a B mode but 3 different B modes selectable.
Great set of videos Thomas on all the Octavias. I think the IV is the most attractive version of the VRS , it’s a shame they don’t do AWD for this drivetrain and as for those fake exhaust tips, I’m not a fan. Would be nice to see the Scout version of this
thanks for the feedback!
We need remote control review of phevs. What can be done/how much does it cost if any/how complicated is it/how long does it take to cool/warm the cabin etc.
I like that car looks good and practical i think the hatch in the bag is a great addition for a sedan styled vehicle i also like the station wagons/kombis.
I like hybrids i think for a hybrid the only way to go is plug in personally i wish the option for a diesel plug in would exist but i understand for cost reasons why it's not prevalent
Great Review
What's wrong with clearance? Why wheels are not in place in the arches?
Could you please do the Audi A3 PHEV 40 TFSI e ? I'm longing to get a good review of this car .. Can't find any about this version on YT. I'd really appreciate
Hi, could you plerase explain to me why panoramatic roof is not available for hatchback version for fourth generation of Octavia?
It is only available in Combi version (you mentioned in this video that it is available for this hatchback car, but it is not).
thank you so much!
Lukas
New to this Hybed thing, can the electric aspect also recharge while driving or is it only plug-in .
The interior and front lights give me a massive VW GTI vibe.
Have you tried asking skoda about the different electric trunk torque?
New Mazda CX-5 and CX-30 have real exhausts and comes standard with one on the left and one one the right. Looks impressive and less plastic on the body.
and still looks like shit lol....nobody wants a mazda.
Seems like a nice car but only available in Europe ? Good review
Any idea when is the new Kodiaq coming?
I’m swapping my Audi A4 for the Octavia RS tdi 200bhp in moon white. I cover about 800km to 1000km so it’s still diesel for me
Better without any fake exhausts, like the original Audi A3 e-tron. In fact, many take it for a fully electric car.
Every VRS has had that sound generator
Mmm, it’s a very heavy car, hence the slower 0-60 time. For me, if it’s a money question opt for the diesel, performance opt for for the petrol. Would be interesting to see the differences of in-gear acceleration between all three models.
If it’s a money problem then opt for the most expensive engine? The iV costs the same as the cheapest petrol engine when you factor in the government subsidies in Germany.
Nice review. I would go with the diesel/electric combinatin in order to minimize fuel consumption. Diesel gives me many kilometers on long trips and the battery provides me with no or very little fuel consumption when driving in the city.
And again, the fake exhausts - lol! I love the fake exhausts - if it provides the car with a design feature to make it look better.
Is there a diesel/electric combination? The only hybrid likely to be on sale in the UK is the petrol/electric version. I like diesels but the political atmosphere is against them.
@@gerrycollins2335 Hi, I must have entered this comment on the wrong clip - as far as I know, Škoda has no diesel/electric hybrid model. Sorry about the confusion!
shame it doesn't have the same chassis tweaks that the petrol & diesel VRS's have, with lower height. also at 200kg heavier, if it were me, take the normal petrol VRS instead. this would be geared more for businesses/company car option i think.
Great review, how would you describe the trunk? I am in doubt between the sports back and the wagon, both these loose some liters with the hybrid. I also think you have mentioned 600 liters for this one however they are less, 450 maybe???
The hybrid is limited little bit, but still the trunks are very well usable. You need the estate if you want to load in very high things in the back, other than that the fastback already gives you a lot of flexibility
@@autogefuehl thank you I am worried about the last tailed part that is not too high in height. I will go and see one. Great review and I have subscribed!
I drive 80km from home to Work everyday so 160km atleast and is wondering about what is best.. the diesel og hybrid?
If you can charge at work then for sure the hybrid. If not then the hybrid will burn around 7 liters in that trip plus the electricity cost for one charge and the diesel around 8.5 liters, which means almost the same total cost per day. So the hybrid would probably be best anyway.
What happens if your completely out of battery and you want to go into sport mode and utilise the full 245bhp? Does it restrict power as the motors are not working, or is there always enough electricity to access full power?
Afaik the engine always recharges a little battery automatically for this case
@@autogefuehl thanks for the quick response, good to know! & love the reviews! 🙂
its just such a shame this model has been removed from uk markets now, all you can get is the 1.5 e-tsi or 2 litre diesel . skoda bring it back
How does it accelerate when the battery is depleted?
I'm still searching for a video about this :D
Great car but looks odd with the raised suspension 🤨
Does it make sense to pay the extra for DCC, noticeable difference?
Yes
Extraordinario carro
Thanks for the great review guys, I've been weighing it up and I'm going for the Diesel. 200ps / 400nm is enough power for me, and 55mpg is very good and probably what most people will get from the hybrid anyway in the real world, it's cheaper than the hybrid, probably quicker... and without the problem of having to recharge everyday. At least, thats my view. Merry Christmas to the Autogefuhl team BTW! :-)
Is recharging regularly a problem for you?
@@timjefferson1886 Yes
@@timjefferson1886 for alot of people it is. When you have to take kids to hobbies and go to your own hobbies do all the house work Week days there is no room to be sitting and recharcing car on stations. Alot of people live in apparment buildings etc where there is no home charge capabilities. Ain't nobody got time to schedule living around vehicle. The vehicle needs to be bought to make your living easier not harder. =)
@@Deuxiit Whatever you say/think
@@timjefferson1886 typical toxic ev snob
Skoda Octavia RS iv estate or Cupra Leon st phev?
Yeah that's a good question... It seems that if one likes the styling of the Cupra then that is a better sports car, otherwise the Skoda is a bit more comfortable and spacious in the luggage area. Quality wise they should be the same but I am curious if one of them has a higher perceived quality feel than the other.
Can you turn the sound actuator off?
with the driving modes
@@autogefuehl Thank you very much! 👍
Which engine EA model is that? Does it have cylinder deactivation?
Ea211
@@dragospahontu yeah, but ea211 above 140hp exists in both with and without cylinder deactivation versions.
@@clark5583 yes that is true, on my Volkswagen Passat B8 facelift that is produced in germany but for the Russian market has the 1.4 without cylinder deactivation, not the new 1.5 ea211evo.
My engine code is *CZDA* .
@@dragospahontu i need the one that is in new cupra leon, which should be the same as in this skoda and in gte
Wow Saab 9000 CS 17:55
Good old times...😢
Wieso steht der so hoch? Fahrwerk vom Scout verbaut? 😂
Sits a lot higher than the standard petrol vRS.
It's heavier
A set of coilovers will sort that out. Same with my Golf GTE
That wheel arch gap though!?
Hybrid has a higher suspension (15mm) over the the diesel and petrol versions
Technically normal Octavia Combi Plugin Hybrid can be modded to have the same power as the RS version isn't it?
I don’t know if its Pathetic, after all they selling a product and they need to satisfy the customers and specially when the product is a sport car.
How come the hybrid is the slowest one???
smaller engine
Smaller engine and much heavier
Wow is it on stilettoes?
Looks really bad, almost double distance in the top of the arch compared to the side of arch.
@@ReneSkotte yeah exactly, I was wondering the same
Don't like the fake engine noise, not needed.
The fake exhausts don't worry me, I can understand from an asthetic point of view, why not
First time I'm this early.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Plug in
avoid fake exhaust for god sake...
Fake V8 sound in the speakers, very funny ... :)
Wtf? Why skoda has soft upper part of door panels, and Audi Q3,Q5,A4,A5,A6,A7 doesn’t? So hard to make?
Also door pockets in audi don’t have any carpet, and there is nothing I can put there, because it will make awful sounds
Obviously you never sat in one of these Audis.
@@mattleistner313 are u dump or what? I have Q5 2019 model year bought new! Watch on my channel.
@@sergtv9638 are you dump? I sat in that Skoda already and the materials are cheaper than those in my A3! And I also know all the other models you mentioned
@@mattleistner313 I had octavia A7 as a previous car and it had worse materials than current octavia A8
@@mattleistner313 new audi models have better materials only with “Audi exclusive” package
SKODA WRITES VRS EVERYWHERE BUT GERMAN CALL IT RS. WTF?
WTF that fake V8 sound :D
It must match the fake RS badge
Fake exhausts are laughable and fake engine noise too.. lol
Fake exhausts have to go
Vegan leather not “animal skin”
Skoda brochures indicate that the microfibre seats do have a share of animal skin leather. What's your info?
@@autogefuehl every review I’ve read online states it’s vegan leather
In the standard seat yes maybe, but in the upgraded microfibre seats? Can you share the source?
I re-checked with Skoda. The optional microfibre sports seats do mainly contain animal skin leather as for the slick surfaces sadly :(
The sound it is pathetic!
Waiting for the diesel test
Sound is fake
Классная машина. Нам в России такая только снится.
"Где лежат под ногой миллионы - там нужды в технологиях нет."
@@clark5583 in Russia why is there Aisin8 instead of DSG7?
@@dragospahontu who knows. Probably only torque converters can survive there. Rough traffic, extreme weathers, expensive maintenance - not a dsg-friendly environment.
@@clark5583 maybe supplier limitations as well, because in the US and other places they use Aisin as well.
@@dragospahontu or like a customer trust. If country doesn't trust in double clutches anymore, u'll try to supply TC over there as OEM. If they like sedans more than hatchbacks, u'll even build a vw polo sedan for them.
Only petrol 🦅

🤣
Boring cars, too well thought out, so you loose the soul. Same with VW and Audi.
