- 2020 Skoda Octavia 4 Combi Style Test Drive POV Review .
Even better, more spacious, safer, more connected and more emotive than ever: with the launch of the fourth generation of its bestseller, ŠKODA has reached new dimensions. The new OCTAVIA is longer and wider than its predecessor, has an even larger boot and is even more emotive thanks to the new ŠKODA design language. The new interior concept combines an excellent amount of space and outstanding functionality with high-quality materials and clever details. Innovative connectivity and new assistance systems raise the comfort and safety of the brand’s icon to an even higher level.
The new OCTAVIA has grown further and, thanks to new proportions and the latest developments in ŠKODA’s design language, is even more emotive and dynamic than its successful predecessor. At a length of 4,689 mm, the hatchback is 19 mm and the COMBI 22 mm longer than the third-generation model. Its width has increased by 15 mm. The COMBI’s boot capacity, which is the largest in the segment, has increased by 30 l to 640 l. The hatchback has a capacity of 600 l - 10 l more than the previous generation. The new front apron and the razor-sharp, narrower, new headlights are a visual delight and feature LED technology for low beam, high beam and daytime running lights as standard. The tail lights, brake lights and fog lights make use of LED technology as well. The newly designed, shallow roof rails emphasise the elongated silhouette of the OCTAVIA COMBI, while the hatchback looks almost like a coupé. Alloy wheels measuring up to 19 inches lend all of the model variants a powerful appearance. Crystal Black, Lava Blue and Titan Blue have been newly added to the range of paint finishes; a Dynamic package is an optional extra and chrome window frames as well as Elox roof rails are also available.
In the newly designed interior, the OCTAVIA offers a new two-spoke steering wheel, which can be heated as an option. If ordered as a multifunction variant, it comes with new control buttons and knurled scroll wheels, allowing drivers to operate a total of 14 different functions without removing their hands. The dashboard, which has also been redesigned, is modular and has been arranged in different levels, featuring a large, free-standing central display. The centre console is elegant, uncluttered and adorned with chrome details - as are the new door trims and handles. New and soft-touch materials lend the interior a premium look. The new LED ambient lighting indirectly illuminates the front doors, dashboard and footwells. The driver can choose up to 30 RGB colours and can even assign a different colour to the dashboard and front doors than to the footwell. In addition, they can select from coordinated lighting scenarios.
Optional, particularly back-friendly Ergo seats, which among other things offer an electric massage function, are celebrating their ŠKODA premiere. In the top version, they can also be ventilated and bear the seal of approval from the German Campaign for Healthier Backs. The optional head-up display is another first for a ŠKODA. It projects the most important information such as speed, navigation, detected traffic signs and activated driver assistance systems directly onto the - if desired, heated - windscreen. Tri-zone Climatronic is making its debut in the OCTAVIA. Using the optional keyless vehicle entry system (KESSY), now any one of the car’s four doors can be opened first. The standard equipment also includes electric side windows and an electromechanical parking brake. The ŠKODA OCTAVIA is now also available with acoustic side windows at the front, which reduce road noise in the cabin even further.
The new OCTAVIA is the first ŠKODA ever to use shift-by-wire technology to operate the DSG, which electronically transmits the driver’s gear selection to the transmission. In place of the familiar DSG lever, there is therefore a new control module located in the centre console with a small rocker switch for selecting the drive modes as well as a button for the parking mode. Innovative full LED Matrix headlights are available as an option, allowing the driver to leave the high beam on at all times without dazzling other road users. Full LED tail lights featuring crystalline elements, dynamic indicators and the animated Coming/Leaving Home function are another option.
A whole range of new safety systems such as Collision Avoidance Assist, Turn Assist, Exit Warning and the Local Traffic Warning function are also making their debut at ŠKODA. Other new features for the OCTAVIA include Area View, Side Assist and Predictive Cruise Control, which - together with the updated version of Traffic.
The OCTAVIA offers a choice of four infotainment systems from the latest generation with screens measuring from 8.25 to 10 inches. Some of them can be operated using gesture control or by voice via the Laura ŠKODA Digital Assistant.

Great review, thank you! It is funny, when I was a kid, Skoda was considered a joke as they were so bad. But for a long while now they have been considered one of the best.
Yess Paul ...I remember the old times....now they do a great job. Same as Hyundai. 👍👍
Skoda was actually one of the best, but then WW2 and sadly they ended on the wrong side of Iron curtain and we all know what happened to their cars. Gladly they are getting back since the mid 90's
we have our new octavia combi 2020 for 2 weeks. We are very happy with it
Great 👍 Thanks for feedback Michelle
Nice, no more music when you reviewing 😁 I had a chance to drive that new Octavia and I must say it's a big improvement outside and inside. Quality inside sweet, materials are pretty awesomely soft and sweet, driving is almost like perfect. They did a great job.
Yes...😊 but the music is not in the same time as I speak.👍 The car is magic . They kill it .
The flickering chrome element on the door is very distracting, at least on the video. Sad, that VAG is witholding petrol DSG models, especially 1.5 TFSI DSG. Other than that, very nice car, way better than Golf.
Yes, agree. But the white chrome you did not observe it when you are inside car. This was a 2l diesel, and I like it.👍
E plina de tehnologie noua octavia fata de cea veche!Sunt foarte interesante reviewurile tale,tine-o tot asa!
Mersi Radu, da este am fost impresionat placut 👍
Salutare din România! Îmi place enorm acest brand!
Mersi Liviu te salut 👍🙏
That’s a beautiful interior
👍👍
🤣
Unlike Golf 8 and new Leon, this one isn't THAT expensive to start with (talking about 1.5tsi and base equipment), starts well equipped compared to generation before, good sound proof and ride quality; future proof (read: I might have a family in few years). It really feels like a best buy long-term car.
Totally agree with you 👍👌
~40k € for an Octavia seems preposterous to me. You can get a full option Megane with 160 horsepower and a manual gearbox for 25-26k, bit more if you want the auto EDC but still well below 30 k. Who in their right mind would pay over 30 k for a non-performance Golf, Leon or Octavia?
I dont want to argue with you , there are so many opinions out there. Depend on everybody what they want.
I love watching your reviews. I see that you had high praise for the Golf 8 as well. If you had to choose, which one did you enjoy driving more - the Golf 8 or the new Octavia?
To be honest both cars are very similar, interior and also multimedia system and engines. if I have to choice I will see witch one has a better preis 👍Thanks for watching my videos 🙏
I have order this car and i cant wait to drive it
Great choice 👌
I love this car😍😍 i think better than any Mercedes or bmw but it’s still my opinion
And the price it is good 👍
The only thing i don't like about the new octavia is the steering wheel that looks unfinished it's missing the third arm..
😊 I really like it like this. It is modern and sporty.👍👍
Hi, nice video. I see lots of video reviews and lots of them say it wind noise in cabin on 120km/h. I see possible equipment take acustic front side glass. Do you think this helps? Thanks
Tomislav I think sound insolation is fine ....I dont find it that bad ....you should do a test drive to see👍
Like your Reviews
Thanks my friend 👍🙏
Did you feel lower suspension noise and wheel noises, like in Octavia 3? I have Octavia 3 and the wheels generating too much noise over 60-70 km/h, compared with Focus or Golf. I just hope, Skoda increased noise isolation in the new model, because that was the only one really weak point in the previous version.
The noise inside the car it is much better ....they make a big steep forward with this car.👍 it is very similar with Golf 8
Like your review
Thanks 🙏👍
This looks a gorgeous car compared to my 3 year old Octavia, Its a shame that it isn't available with the 1.5 etsi dsg because I'm due to order a new car this month, so it leaves me with the golf 8 as the only option for me. Test driving a golf tomorrow. Love your videos :-)
Thanks Jeff ...Golf 8 it is great 👍
@@SDADanCars I've just booked a test drive of the Toyota corolla also tomorrow with the 1.8 hybrid. Which would you say is better between the golf and Corolla now you have driven both?
Thanks for the video !
Hello. Cool review!
Could you tell me if the car you tested actually did or did not have DCC? (judging from the central display in the segment of your video where you talk about the suspension, it doesn't).
Thanks.
Yes it has DCC and actually the suspensions are very good. Adaptive DCC for versions starting from 110 kW (150 PS) this was a 2l diesel around 155hp 👍👍 Thanks for watching my videos
How does it feels in high speed? Stability..noise.. please, describe in comments a bit in detail
The car it is great, nice suspensions and handling , noise it is good as well....much improved from previous generation 👍
@@SDADanCars Thanks. But do they use fully independent suspension or not?
I think yes but not sure for what trim level
It's not a moltilink suspensions.
Thank you.
Yes on the rear multi-link I think if I remember well. Independent in the front McPherson
@@SDADanCars you probably know better than me my dear friend.
I ordered a skoda Octavia style 1.5 litre with a simple rear suspension.
I gave up on the vw golf for the Octavia.
Cool, Octavia have more space 👍
does the sedan version is the same?
Yes...The cool part of the Sedan version is that is hatchback 👍
Which motor is in this Skoda? 1.5 or 1.0?
1.5 if I remember well 👍🤔
@@SDADanCars Thanks. I have tested a 1.0 Skoda and it still has 115hp.
Is 1.5 tsi version have a leather seat option ??
...I dont know sure 🤔🤔
38.000€ for Octavia????? And it is not even RS.....
Yes but trust me the quality is like an Audi 👍
@@SDADanCars In Slovenia caravan 2.0 Tdi Style DSG list price 28k you can get it for 25.500€ I has some extra equipment the one you drove but still 38k??? And i drive octavia 2014 model, these price is way to much
Yes you are right, I think is est Europe price are better 👍
43.000 Actually....and a BMW seria 3 is around 50, so you better go with BMW. This is very bad for Skoda
WTF 38.840 frang !! ?¿
😁
that’s C class money lol
The wheels are hideous. The interior and exterior though are much nicer than Golf.
Wait to see tonight the Seat Leon FR on my channel. It is amazing .love it 👍👌
@@SDADanCars Yep, somehow both non VW brands in the VW group managed to create a better car than the actual leader of the line. Nevertheless, prices have also gone up for the entire line, Golf, Skoda and Leon so it is to be expected that these cars are nice. 40k euro for a 150hp octavia is...a lot. So it better be a great car.
Yes true. To be honest they improve alot the tech
money !!!!!!!!
👍
Probably a VW!
Yes 👍
