The ground clearance of the Skoda Octavia may differ significantly in the factory and improved versions. In order to understand what exactly is best for you, you need to understand that what is called ground clearance is the distance between the road surface and the bottom point of the bottom of the car.
How to find out the clearance value
Measuring this parameter is quite difficult. If your car has not been tuned, the easiest way to find out the data is to use the service book. If you don’t have a book, you can do the following:
- find lowest point front bumper and use a tape measure to measure the distance to the road surface. In this case, the car must stand strictly horizontally on a flat surface;
- The second place from which to measure is the oil pan. This item is closest to the road, and is more likely to get caught on it.
Knowing what ground clearance the Skoda Octavia has, you can correctly calculate whether the car can drive in the chosen location or not. For different models this parameter may vary.
If measured from the front bumper using a ruler, the relatively accurate figure for the Octavia A5 model will be 21 cm. The Octavia A7 model, regardless of what body the car is made of, station wagon or liftback, will have a ground clearance of 155 mm.
It is worth noting that for Russian roads This indicator is quite small and creates a lot of problems when operating the car. For example, there is a risk of the bumper getting caught on the curb, getting hit on the bottom, when moving along rural areas, problems may also arise when driving over some obstacles, such as large speed bumps.
Dependence of comfort on vehicle height
The car in question was originally designed as a family car, its interior is quite spacious, can accommodate up to 5 people, the seats are comfortable, comfortable, and have a large number of adjustments for the driver and passengers. However, this is not the only factor that can affect the comfort of movement. Shaking in the cabin is affected by shock absorbers, ride height, and road quality.
The more ground clearance Skoda Octavia, the easier than a car overcome obstacles and even more so its smooth movement over various uneven surfaces. Most models of this brand have a soft suspension, thanks to which falling into holes for the most part remains unnoticeable to passengers.
What problems are associated with low ground clearance?
The Skoda Octavia, whose ground clearance is low, is designed for driving on smooth city roads; as soon as you go beyond its borders and even get onto the side of the road covered with stones, problems with control begin.
The car cannot safely drive over rough bumps, gravel, or mud. Stones lifted from the road hit the crankcase, and if it does not have additional protection, can cause serious damage to the vehicle. They can also leave marks and dents on the bumper. It is not recommended to drive a car into rough terrain. As a result of careless driving, the underbody of the car, bumpers, driveshaft, engine crankcase, rear differential. There is a risk of puncturing or damaging the gas tank.
Increasing the clearance will help solve some of these problems. Of course, it is impossible to turn a Skoda into an SUV because of its design features, but making the car a little taller and safer is quite possible.
Ways to increase ground clearance
There are several ways to increase your car's ground clearance. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages and can add several centimeters to the ride height.
First of all, you can increase the ground clearance by using discs bigger size or tires whose profile is higher than the standard one, this will allow you to raise the car by 1-2 cm. For example, the ground clearance of a 2014 Skoda with this approach will be 15.5-16 cm, which will allow you to overcome light obstacles and drive along a dirt road.
Another effective, but technically more complex method is to replace the car's shock absorbers. For example, you can use products from the SDA company or Bilstein model B6/B8. These gas shock absorbers are distinguished by a single-tube design, unlike the original ones, which have a double-tube design.
Simply replacing the standard shock absorber with a tuned yellow series one will help raise the car by 10 mm. When the car is moving high speed The ground clearance may become lower, but at low speeds the car will rise. Some models of shock absorbers are capable of raising the car by 1.5 cm.
Another common way to increase ground clearance is to use special spacers that are inserted under the car's factory shock absorber struts. This procedure is acceptable even for a new car that is under warranty. The fact is that installing spacers does not in any way affect the technical characteristics of the machine. The car becomes a little higher, but with this control it does not change at all, other characteristics do not change, and the factory warranty does not disappear.
This method will help to significantly increase ground clearance, adding 3 to 5 cm to the existing one. This procedure will help protect the bottom of the car from touching random objects lying on the road by police, and reduce the risk of stones when moving on a dirt road.
Such easy tuning It will be very useful if you go out of town by car, go to the country, or simply park on gravel areas. Such an intervention will help you to park calmly, because now front bumper will not cling to the curb. The bumper can pass over it and will not be accidentally damaged. When choosing spacers, pay attention to the quality of the rubber from which they are made.
The third method includes replacing the standard springs with higher ones, however, this method may be accompanied by some inconveniences, for example, the car will become much stiffer.
Conclusion
There are several quick ways To make the Octavia's ground clearance higher will require spending a little time, but you will get rid of a number of inconveniences associated with the proximity of the bottom of the car to the road surface.

Is compromise so bad? TestnewAudi A5 Sportback S-line TDI
If you have at least 2.6 million rubles and want an Audi passenger car without mileage, you can buy an older business-class sedan in the form of an Audi A6 (from 2.6 million rubles). You can choose a well-equipped and fresh, but still cramped one (from 1,970,000 rubles), or you can choose an Audi A5, produced as a classic two-door coupe(from 2,620,000 rubles), and in the Sportback version - with additional rear doors (from 2,385,000 rubles)..
Sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible and sportback – the range of middle-class bodies is an important pillar of the car builders from Ingolstadt. 7 years after the birth of the A5 Sportback, Audi presented a new edition of its beauty.
Sportback - liftback.
In fact, the Audi A5 Sportback is a liftback. Firstly, the machine has rear doors, and secondly, a one-piece trunk lid that rises with rear window. In addition, it is cheaper than the two-door version. On the other hand, the coupe has frameless doors and a sloping roof. What is more in the end: practicality or sportiness? They decided to find out on the ring road in Myachkovo, albeit in its truncated version with an abundance of turns of different steepness. We rode a bit to Myachkovo and on Moskoureysvey.
Like the two-door model, the radiator grille has become flatter and wider with the change of generations. The width decreased by a centimeter is visually invisible.
Both the wavy shape of the lateral line and the distinct concavities above wheel arches more emphasized than its predecessor. The roof, which slopes toward the rear, ends with a characteristic rib. The elongated trunk lid is made entirely of aluminum.
In length new Sportback grew by 2.1 cm (up to 4.73 m), it also received a modernized suspension with a longer wheelbase (plus 1.4 cm). Positive consequences: The interior and, above all, rear knee room (plus 24 mm) are significantly more generous, the Sportback now offers ample space and very well shaped seats for four occupants.
Yes, in the back row the roof presses on the heads of tall passengers, yes, there is practically no room for knees, but the A5 coupe is even more selfish in this sense, and in the Audi A4 there is a little more space in the back.
You can slide skis and snowboards through the large hatch window. The trunk is 480 liters, which, if you fold the backrests, increases to 1300 liters. Then the bicycle can be placed. For an additional fee, touch control for opening and closing it, although the electric drive of the lid itself is already in the base.
The luggage compartment is finished with high-quality materials and has a regular square shape, but due to the sloping silhouette of the body, part of the volume is eaten up and practicality suffers. However, depending on what you compare it to: cargo capabilities The Sportback is still better than the two-door coupe.
The interior of the A5 Sportback does not lack the typical Audi feel: very expensive, perfectly crafted materials and precise selection colors. After a short adjustment new concept control and display becomes natural and hassle-free.
Riding is a pleasure.
Between trips to professional tracks, we had a whole week to enjoy the car in the city. The most memorable moments were those when the Audi A5 Sportback 2017 braked itself, preventing a collision with the vehicle in front. No matter how much we provoked him, he, clever, did everything according to the rules safe driving. And how he knows how to take turns is a song.
Of course, the A5 Sportback is generously equipped with electronic assistance. In addition to the classic radar that measures the distance, you can order a traffic jam assistant, with which the A5 can start and stop in time with the leader and even turn after him. On well-organized streets, the car can even free your hands from the steering wheel for a short time. Audi shows another step towards autonomous driving!
New and still unique in this segment is the fuel economy assistant, which helps you save fuel with its advice. The technology uses navigator data about the radii of curves, entrances to settlements, speed limits, as well as information from a camera-based sign recognition system and provides driver advice for smart driving. For example, he advises to turn off the gas in time.
Stop, stop, we're going to the ring sports track, and there's a diesel engine under the hood. Wouldn't it be better to finish the test around the city comfortably in economy mode? But then our car wouldn’t be a Sportback, we’re going to the ring.
We are testing an all-wheel drive Audi A5 Sportback with a 2-liter 190-horsepower diesel engine. Is on Russian market and a 2.0 TFSI petrol engine with 190 horsepower with front-wheel drive or its modification with 249 horsepower and all-wheel drive. For Europeans, the A5 Sportback offers 3 gasoline engines and 4 diesels. The power range extends from 150 to 354 hp. in S5. The latest and most powerful diesel engine comes with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. All other versions drive either manually or with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission.
With diesel we saved a lot on roads common use, but is such a motor suitable for active driving on a sports track?
On average, our car consumed diesel fuel only 6 l/100 km from a 58-liter tank; more than 7 l/100 km was not possible even with active driving.
Note that it is the Audi brand that has repeatedly proven the viability of the diesel power unit in motorsport, winning the Le Mans 24-hour race. One way or another, our two-liter diesel engine in the case of the A5 Sportback produces 190 power and 400 Nm of torque. In addition, such a motor is combined exclusively with quattro all-wheel drive and the S-tronic preselective wet robot. Of course, the power unit is equipped with turbocharging and direct injection. All this allows the A5 Sportback to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 235 km/h. The numbers are good, but not mesmerizing. So we noted that at high speeds the thrust diesel engine almost not enough for the track.
The elasticity of the 190-horsepower engine is very pleasant in many situations. Ride comfortably and confidently!
The all-wheel drive Audi A5 Sportback exhibits correct, academic neutral understeer. When quickly entering turns, all four wheels slide. Moreover, thanks to the presence Audi systems drive Select, which allows you to change driving settings, the car's response to the controls can be sharpened by selecting Sport mode. In this case, the vigilance of the stabilization system will decrease, and the Audi will willingly sweep its tail in turns.
And on dry asphalt, riders benefit from all-wheel drive at every sharp pressing on gas - due to uniform acceleration without jerking and squealing of tires from overloaded front wheels.
Despite the weight distribution in favor of the front axle, the A5 Sportback is excellent for straight-line driving. Although it is clear how German engineers struggled for optimal mass distribution. It is no coincidence that the car's battery is installed in the trunk.
As we found out on two tracks at once, in rain and hot weather even the economical diesel Audi A5 Sportback 2017 with the S-line package acquired an extremely groovy character and is capable of igniting and captivating active driver. But overall, it turns out that this compromise is not so bad. The sportback looks much more athletic than the A4 and even more so the A6, it drives fun, and if necessary it will transport both people and luggage. However, in the case of premium car pleasure is measured not only by driving properties, but also by the quality of workmanship, finishing materials and additional options.
The 7-speed automatic transmission also provided us with excellent support, selecting the optimal gear depending on the selected mode quickly and accurately.
The configurator on the manufacturer's official website is suitable for close study in the evenings. At the first stage, it’s time to choose the equipment line: standard, Sport and Design. The differences between them are in the shape of the bumpers, rims, interior touches. There is almost no difference in price. Equipment packages can change the price tag. The first thing the automaker offers is the S-line exterior trim package, which includes a sports body kit, S-line emblems and chrome exhaust pipes. The price of this option is 102,456 rubles. The extended S-line package for 105,222 rubles adds R18 wheels, sports front seats, decorative inserts and emblems in the interior. Instead, your A5 Sportback can be equipped with the Comfort line package for 205 thousand rubles, which will bring LED headlights, electrically adjustable front seats with lumbar support, combined seat trim and a three-spoke leather steering wheel, or Sport package Line for 340 thousand, combining options from the S-line and Comfort Line.
Audi would not be Audi if the configurator did not offer us the opportunity to fine-tune, that is, to assemble our own personal Sportback: a beautiful coupe for five, well, yes, three in the back will be clearly cramped.
