It is still difficult to say what nickname the third Octavia will receive from Russian motorists. Do not be surprised if they call her “faceted” - by analogy with the “big-eyed” Mercedes or the “puffy” Audi. Skoda designers themselves provoke. Talking about their work, they mention Czech crystal - look, they say, at the headlights and taillights. And in general, on the back of the new Octavia there are much more faces than before. The author of this style is the chief designer Joseph Kaban, who plans to “cut” all the models of the brand. In 2011, two years after the beginning of his service at Skoda Auto, he rolled out the Vision D concept onto the Geneva venue, with which the cardinal change in the appearance of Czech cars began. Boar, trying to emphasize that a new era is approaching in the history of the brand (more than a century old!), Even changed the logo, making it much more concise than before. This is exactly what now stands on the Octavia A7.

Trunk volume has grown to 590 liters (568 liters in the Russian version due to a full-size spare wheel). With the rear seats folded down, the displacement (to the ceiling) reaches 1, 558 liters. It used to be 1, 435 liters. Trunk volume has grown to 590 liters (568 liters in the Russian version due to a full-size spare wheel).

The new era for the brand is also a new platform, the all-Volkswagen modular MQB. Another reason to marvel at German engineering is the size of the Octavia III. It is much larger than its predecessor in all respects, except for the width (-1 mm). At the same time, the interior at shoulder level is wider by 39 mm in front and 26 mm at the rear. But the wheelbase has grown especially well - by 102–108 mm (for versions with different rear suspensions). Hence the increased smoothness and a significant increase in space for the legs of the rear passengers (+70 mm).

The space from the seat cushions to the ceiling has also increased, so that in most internal dimensions, Octavia has become the champion in its class. It has record luggage volumes and aperture widths … And, of course, the Czechs preserved the liftback body type, which became one of the main reasons for the success of the previous Octavia and is now directly associated with the brand. Apparently, Shkodovtsy generally economic nature. Otherwise, they would not have taken care of the various hooks and nets that are in the trunk in the standard version or could be bought as options, would not have come up with a double-sided raised floor (on the one hand - pile, on the other - rubberized, for dirty cargo) and a folding organizer for Velcro - for things that roll out on the trunk. In Octavia, in general, many things make us wonder why car designers did not think of this before. We did not invent a pencil case for trash, a contactless amplifier for a smartphone, a holder for parking tickets, a plastic ice scraper on the back of the gas tank flap … And even though we are skeptical about branded slogans, all this is really Simply clever, it’s just clever.

And what is nice to note, now there is a USB connector. The optional Phone Box transmits the signal from a phone lying on a pad with a built-in induction plate to an external antenna, improving communication quality.

I also note the exhaust manifold on the new 1.4 engine, cast together with the cylinder head and having its own cooling jacket, which allows the engine to warm up faster. Now, in the summer, this is not important, but it will be noticeable in the winter. We will also thank the Czechs for the fact that the Octavia can be purchased with heated rear seats, not just the front ones. Three-step! True, this is an option that increases the price. But she is … Like a car parker, active cruise control, and much more.

The external speed characteristics of the 1.4 TSI and 1.8 TSI engines (left and right, respectively) are similar - as are the characters of cars with such engines. With a power difference of 40 hp they have the same torque (250 Nm), only 1.4 has its “shelf” narrower - from 1500 to 3000 rpm, and 1.8 - 1250-5000 rpm.

Unfortunately, the base Octavia was not presented at the Russian presentation - with a 1.2 TSI engine with 105 hp. I think she walks quite well, since she went to the Golf VII with this engine. And the Octavia is even a bit lighter than the Golf in equal configuration! It was not possible to drive a car with a 2-liter 150-horsepower turbodiesel. However, this power unit is also familiar from other models of the concern. As they say, for an amateur. But it thoroughly “shook” 1.4 TSI with a 6-speed “mechanics” and 1.8 TSI with a 7-speed DSG. Impressions - in the "Outcome".

The most advanced multimedia system is Columbus. With navigation, an eight-inch touch screen, nine speakers and a subwoofer from the German brand Canton, it is an option for the Ambition and Elegance versions. As, by the way, and a three-spoke steering wheel with buttons. The most advanced multimedia system is Columbus.

The new Octavia at Centner is lighter than the previous one. With larger sizes! Designers do not hide the fact that they used thinner rolled products, but from more durable steel, so that the rigidity of the body did not decrease.

I reread the written and do not believe in myself. According to the text, it turns out that the car is devoid of flaws. Well, maybe the Octavia III has “noisy” rear wheel arches. The rest - if any - will manifest. In June, Russian sales started.

- The 1.8 TSI engine of the new Octavia develops 180 hp. In dynamics - almost the same Octavia RS. And she has a multi-link rear suspension. On the rest - a traditional semi-dependent beam. Nevertheless, I liked the car with the 1.4 and 6-speed “mechanics” more. Acceleration to “hundreds” is only one second slower, overtaking is just as easy, the difference in handling is almost imperceptible, but much cheaper. It would seem … The Columbus multimedia complex is available only with the average version of Ambition (764, 900 + 65, 000 rubles). And this is just the beginning of the bill. “However!” - as Kisa Vorobyaninov said.
