The Skoda Octavia Hatchback is one of the industry's most notable success stories. It first appeared on our roads in 1996. Since then, it's been Skoda's best selling model on the international market. The bottom line is - it's a great family car, it's practical, drives well and looks good. It really is the full package.
From humble beginnings, Skoda took the route of moving their popular Octavia into a higher class bracket. It now counts cars such as the Audi A3, Mercedes A Class and the new VW Golf among its competitors and it fares pretty well when compared to them. No mean feat considering how competitive this class is.
With a car this established, you'd expect a good range of engines and options and Skoda has delivered just that. It's well worth taking time to consider your driving style when you decide on what setup is going to suit you best.
The Octavia is a top performer on the open road, eating up the motorway miles is effortless. But it's also handy on country roads. The steering is responsive and tight, body lean is minimal and it corners with confidence.
Inside, the Octavia Hatchback has a high-tech ambience. The upholstery is plush and trims complement the aesthetics well. The driver gets plenty of adjustments available for both the seat and the steering wheel, making it easy to find the perfect driving position. Team this with adjustable lumbar support and you have a car that's a superb example of long-journey comfort.
If you're looking to drive a car in this class, make sure you check out the Skoda Octavia Hatchback. We think that if you're not already a fan, you soon will be!
