Skoda Octavia 2008 Overview
The Octavia is based on the new-generation Volkswagen Golf platform, and offers a wide range of trim and engine options. The range is littered with various motors, but only a handful are officially offered in the Middle East. Among these are the 1.6-litre four-cylinder, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder and the 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder. By 2008, only the 1.6-litre was remaining, alongside a new 2.0-litre FSI engine with more power. Different trim levels go by various names like Ambiente, Choice, Elegance and what not. The Octavia is one of the more unique cars in its segment, with the look of a proper sedan, but surprising with a lift-up rear hatch for loading luggage. A station wagon version is also available to further increase cargo room, but mated to only to the base engine. The interior has a clean look with high-quality materials, and featuring power accessories for windows, mirrors, seats and sunroof, depending on which trim level one chooses. ABS brakes with Brake Assist are available, as is a traction control system. Safety wise, four airbags, two front and two side, are available. Rear side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags are optional.
