The Skoda Octavia turned 60 in 2019 and celebrated it by presenting the fourth generation of the most practical and functional saloon in the Volkswagen group. In 1959 the first unit of the Czech Mladá Boleslav plant came out and, despite being a couple of decades without being marketed, it is the most recognized model of the firm. The history of Skoda would not be the same without this car, which has accumulated more than 6.5 million units sold since its launch. Its name comes from Latin and refers to its eighth position as a car created by the manufacturer after World War II. Far are those beginnings, in which the independent suspension was cutting-edge technology and the maximum power of this family was 45 hp. If we approach the dealerships of the firm we find the fourth generation of the Skoda Octavia, 2020 more spacious and refined than ever.
The Octavia formula for success is simple: timeless design, practical interior and almost unbeatable value for money. During his presentation, Škoda AUTO President and CEO Bernhard Maier commented that: “For Škoda, the Octavia is of immense importance. It is the reason why we have totally renewed this car . The result is the best Ocatvia of all time: it is even more spacious, and more practical and safe than ever ”. We are, then, before the most competitive batch in its history, but why has the Octavia 2020 improved so much?
The versatility of this saloon is a better argument. If before you traveled with just enough, now it is necessary to carry every last utensil or baby toy. It is an acquired need, we will not deny it. As cars grew and cargo space increased, luggage optimization took a back seat. For this reason, the 600-liter boot capacity of the Skoda Octavia is the key data for your choice. Luckily for flirtatious parents, having a practical car no longer means it has to be ugly. The new Octavia has improved aesthetically, in technological equipment, connectivity and driving and safety assistance systems.
