You can trace the Skoda success story of the last few decades back to the original launch of one model: this one - the Octavia. Right from its very first appearance in 1996, this has been a car that's always super-sized its value proposition, offering more space than the class norm. For first second generation versions, that class saw competition amongst Focus and Astra-class family hatches. But this MK3 model took a step up in the world, virtually big enough to compete with Mondeos and Insignias in the larger medium range segment. An Octavia then, that was usefully larger than ever before was more of a signpost to the kind of direction the Czech brand wanted to go in the future: one sharing the very latest technology with more luxurious brands in the Volkswagen Group stable. The similarities persist despite the difference in size: this car is 90mm longer and 45mm wider than its MK2 predecessor, making it all the more impressive that it also manages to be up to 102kgs lighter. But it's when you lift the heavy boot-lid that you get a feel for what this car is really all about. It's absolutely huge, the 590-litre load area you reach over a notably low lip 28mm longer and 125-litres bigger than with the previous generation model, the space on offer is 10% bigger than a Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Insignia from this period and over 20% bigger than a Mazda 6. Finished in the stunning Quartz Grey Metallic, standard equipment includes Bluetooth Connectivity to keep you in touch with family and friends whilst on the move, Rear Parking Sensors to help with those tricky little parking spaces, Smart-Link with Apple Car Play, Android Auto and Mirror Link, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control Air Conditioning to help keep you cool and the summer and warm in the winter, Hill Hold Assist to help with those tricky hill starts, an alarm, a wonderful DAB Digital Radio for crackle-free music and speech and lots of air-bags!
