Overview

The second generation Octavia featured redesigned exterior and interior with bolder headlamps and a more robust radiator grille. A better audio and navigation system was offered. Safety was enhanced with adaptive xenon headlamps and WOKS headrests. Engine options included a 1.4-liter TSI and 1.6-liter gasoline, both optionally mated with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Octavia was one of the roomiest, most economical, and comfortable vehicles at a good price.
