The online premiere of the modernized family will be held next week. The five-door cars have had their exterior changed, but the interior has not yet been shown. However, there are probably new things inside too.
After a couple of video teasers, Skoda has distributed design sketches of the restyled Octavia. At the same time, the presentation date was announced: the refreshed liftback and station wagon will fully open on February 14. Let us remind you that the model has been in its current fourth generation since 2019; it remains the brand’s global bestseller. Thus, according to Skoda itself, in 2023, approximately 191,900 Octavia five-doors were sold worldwide — this is 36% more than a year earlier.

Restyling brought new bumpers to the Octavia, plus the radiator grille was modernized — it now features convex elements. The main feature is the beveled additional sections of running lights that “flow” from the headlights. The taillights have retained their shape, but they have a new diode filling. Well, in general, the restyled liftback and station wagon look more aggressive than their predecessors. It was also announced that the “warmed up” Sportline version and the “hot” RS version with a sportier look remained in service.

The interior of the updated Skoda Octavia has not yet been exposed. Most likely, another multimedia system was installed inside — the model probably acquired larger tablets. They could also redo the virtual instrument panel and climate control unit.

The brand has not yet spoken about the technology. It is assumed that the Octavia will continue to be available with a 1.0 TSI turbo petrol engine, a 1.5 TSI and 2.0 TSI turbo four, as well as a 2.0 TDI turbodiesel. At the same time, it is possible that Octavia received a mild-hybrid makeweight. The full-fledged rechargeable hybrid iV, following other similar models of the Volkswagen concern, switched from a 1.4 TSI turbo engine to a 1.5 TSI.
