Škoda Octavia has revised design & improved tech

Rivals may have sharper dynamics but nobody can really beat this Škoda on space. Revised designs include the front grille, headlights and rear lights. The info-tainment display is now larger and the upholstery across the doors and dash has been updated.

We love the liftback design for extra boot space which is already decent at 600 litres. And while the styling may be subdued in 'Race Blue', it won't allow you to go unnoticed. The Octavia starts at €31,430 and in Sportline trim starts at €41,310.
