It is known that it is made of the same spare parts and in quality is no worse than the brand popular throughout Europe, but it costs one and a half times cheaper. Do you find out? Not?

A set of power units will satisfy fans of both gasoline and diesel engines. In addition, the designers have something to offer both adherents of the economical and lovers of a sports style of riding. It is especially worth highlighting a 1.6 liter gasoline FSI and a capacity of 85 kW and a TDI PD diesel with a volume of 2.0 liters and a capacity of 103 kW, equipped with a revolutionary DSG gearbox. You can choose an economical MPI gasoline engine (1.4 liters, power 55 kW) or TDI PD turbodiesel (1.9 l, power 77 kW).
 
Even the standard version of Classic includes four airbags (front and back), ABS, central lock, driver's seat with height adjustment and ISOFIX brackets for installing children's seats in the rear seats. On the Octavia version of Ambiente, in addition to the standard Classic equipment, there are rear -view mirrors with electrical adjustment and heating, a computer on the dashboard and tinted glass. The richest equipment, Elegance, also includes an automatic air conditioning system Climatic, electric windows of all doors, fog lights, 15-inch light-melted orion wheels, built-in zones near the doors and many other elements.

To increase safety, there are pillows to protect the head, active head restraints of the front seats, an electronic system for maintaining the ESP course stability.
 
In any Octavia configuration, the car is long, spacious. A spacious trunk, the basic volume of which is 560 liters (580 liters of Combi) can be increased by folding the rear seats, to an incredible size of 1335 liters (1620 liters of COMBI)! Excellent technical characteristics of the car have become simply excellent thanks to the new chassis with modern front and multifunctional rear bridges.

Modern gasoline engines with direct injection technology, as well as diesel engines with turbocharged (TDI) with a pump-link system, are installed on cars.
 
There are quite a lot of offers here: four gasoline and two diesel engines. For lovers of gasoline units, it is possible to choose a capacity of 55 to 110 kW, including an option with direct fuel injection. For those who prefer diesel, there are two modern TDI engines with a capacity of 77 and 103 kW.
 
We advise: a 1.9 liter diesel is very interesting.
 
Transmission
On Octavia, you can install a classic five -speed gearbox, a six -speed automatic gearbox or the latest double automatic DSG gearbox, an analogue of the one that is installed on Audi.
 
It uses a revolutionary Direct Shift Gearbox technology, that is, it is a gearbox with direct switching, combining the best qualities of mechanics with the advantages of traditional automatic boxes. The result is smooth, but rapid acceleration and excellent fuel savings. In addition, you can choose an automatic or manual (Tiptronic) shift.
 
There is a full -wheel drive version of Combi 4x4, but it is only on the station wagons.
