The new Skoda Octavia 2020 stands out for a front with a redesigned skirt and optics that vary the look of the model. This, in its familiar version Combi, has a length of 4.69 meters, 22 millimeters more than its predecessor. The same measure announces the saloon, although in this case the growth is 19 millimeters. The width is in both cases of 1.83 meters. In addition Skoda confirms that the tires can be up to 19 inches.
The front and rear headlights of the new Skoda Octavia 2020 offer a narrower design and LED technology, while the top-of-the-range versions have Matrix full led headlights in the front area. For its part, in the rear the full led rear lights include dynamic turn signals.
The Skoda Octavia 2020 has shown its interior for the first time with two digital sketches that anticipate an increase in interior space.
The new generation Octavia includes a new multifunction steering wheel with two spokes, available in multifunction with up to 14 different functionalities.
The center console, door panels and dashboard have also been redesigned. Highlights heated seats, which receive a particularly ergonomic design. As an option, sports seats with ThermoFlux upholstery and three-zone Climatronic air conditioning are available.
Another point that has improved in the new Skoda Octavia 2020 is the Virtual Cockpit, with a 10-inch screen and a more intuitive display. You can choose up to four different configurations, which are Basic, Classic, Navigation and Driver Assistance Systems. The center screen can also be up to 10 inches.
The mechanical range of the new Skoda Octavia 2020 is wide and varied. In addition to the improved TSI and Diesel TDI petrol engines, there is also a CNG variant, two plug-in hybrids and many other ‘mild-hybrid’.
The 1.0-liter TSI three-cylinder engine with 110 horsepower and the 1.5 TSI 150-horsepower are supported by a 48-volt starter and a 48-volt lithium-ion battery as long as they are associated with an automatic transmission 7 speed DSG. In the case of having the six-speed manual transmission, both propellers lack microhybridization. For its part, the 2.0 TSI of 190 horses is only available with all-wheel drive and seven-speed DSG transmission.
The Skoda Octavia 2020 also offers two plug-in hybrid variants based on the 1.4 TSI petrol engine. The first has 204 horsepower and the second 245. In both cases they have a six-speed automatic DSG shift.
As for Diesel there are three options, the lightest with 115 horses, the intermediate with 150 and the most powerful with 200. In all cases they are a 2.0-liter TDI. In addition to the Diesel particulate filter, the engines are equipped with the next stage of the development of the SCR exhaust gas treatment system. It is known as ‘double dosing’, and it works by specific injection of AbBlue in front of two SCR catalysts, located one behind the other. The result is a reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions of 80%. The two most powerful engines offer the option to equip all-wheel drive.
The CNG version of the Skoda Octavia 2020 starts from the 1.5 TSI of 130 horses. It has three tanks for this fuel with a total capacity of 17.7 kilos, while the fuel tank adds 9 liters of gasoline. The change can be six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG.
The new Skoda Octavia 2020 is the firm’s first model to use electronic gearshift technology to operate its DSG transmission. The gear selector is no longer mechanically connected to the gearbox, but communicates which gear has been selected electronically. Instead of the familiar DSG lever, a new control module appears in the center console of the vehicle with a small rocker switch to select the different driving modes, in addition to the parking mode.
This new generation is the first to offer Head-Up Display. It also has new infotainment systems with optional streaming services, in addition to wireless connection for Smartphones. The latter has not prevented five USB-C ports from being included in the rear area and an optional 230-volt plug. The new Canton sound system is also an extra.
Regarding safety systems, the new Collision Prevention Assistant, the Exit Alert or the Hands-on Detect stand out, thanks to which the car is able to check whether or not the driver touches the steering wheel consistently and thus act in the event of an emergency.
