The SKODAUK Octavia Estate is a great mix of space, equipment and affordability. Used prices start at a very tempting £4500 😮
Inside is where the Octavia plays its trump card; there’s a surfeit of head and leg room, and in the boot, more than enough luggage room for a family. Indeed, you'll find more space inside an Octavia than you will in most estate cars of its size.
Out on the road, there's plenty more to like. All deliver more than enough performance for most drivers, although the larger engines are more flexible and better-suited to motorway work. The 1.0-litre petrol engine is surprisingly peppy around town and can easily keep up with most traffic, while the 1.4 TSI 150 petrol is smooth and quick, as is the later 1.5 version. All the diesel options deliver good low-down punch and balance that with better economy.
The Octavia's ride isn't quite as smooth as that of the Golf, but it's still very comfortable, and heaps better than many rivals'. And while it's no sports car, it nevertheless handles very tidily; responsive steering and well set-up suspension mean the Octavia changes direction fast and always feels composed, and there's more than enough grip on offer too.
That facelift in 2018 brought a more distinctive nose with quad headlights, though there were few other design changes. More equipment was added to each model, though, while the 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre petrol turbos were replaced by 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre engines respectively. A so-called Scout version, with a chunky body kit, a 30mm raised ride height and four-wheel drive, is also available with the 2.0-litre diesel engine in two power outputs .
