SKODAOctavia Combi 2013 - 2017

　　The Octavia is Skoda's biggest-selling model worldwide, , and in 2013 the Czech carmaker, with the third iteration of the model, pushed success even further. First, we want to mention one of the most essential things: size.

　　Size matters, doesn’t it? The new Skoda Octavia Combi makes a mark in its segment in every possible way. It offers space found only in higher classes and is wider and longer than its previous version. There is no other car in the compact segment that offers more interior length (1,782 mm), more knee room (73 mm), and more headroom at the back (980 mm). And that is not all. The third generation of Skoda Octavia has a 610-liter boot space, 30 liters more than Octavia 2, earning some points in practicality.

　　On the outside, it comes with roof rails fitted as standard. Every line and joint shows Skoda's attention to detail. The front-end's details were accentuated by emphasizing the horizontal lines yet keeping the unmistakably Octavia look and carrying it into a new era.

　　The new Skoda logo is now placed on the hood, making the slightly bigger radiator grille look more opulent. The headlights were redesigned too, now emphasizing sharpness along with the radiator grille. Compared to the previous model, the side of the new Skoda Octavia is clearly sportier and more dynamic.

　　Everything is in its proper place, arranged well, and cleanly styled. The dashboard controls are logically laid, and the dials are easy to read. The interior was designed to offer generous space and aesthetic appeal.

　　Among the new technological options, the new Octavia Combi can be equipped with Adaptive Cruise Assistant, Automatic Parking Assistant, traffic-sign recognition, KESSY (Keyless-Entry-Start-and-Exit-System), and better infotainment system with touch displays and CANTON sound system, which was optimized for the passenger space.

　　In terms of comfort, the Octavia stays in its class, is decently comfortable, and has four different driving selections, including the Individual, where you can set it up depending on your needs.

　　Due to its extra bulk, the 2.0 liter TDI version is the best, especially if you intend to tow a trailer or a caravan. Or if you want to feel some more sportiness, you can go for the 2.0 petrol engine. Both versions give good driving quality thanks to the DSG automatic gearbox.

　　Having said all this, if you are one of those people always looking for the price tag and want plenty of space for your hobbies like scuba diving, climbing, surfing, mountain biking, or even to carry smaller stuff for your DIY business, the Skoda Octavia Combi might be something good to give a try. Regarding fuel consumption, the vehicle is one of the most economical cars in its class.

　　In conclusion, even if we talk about a family car or a car capable of fulfilling your space needs, this third-generation of Skoda Octavia is worth its money.
