A review of the third generation Skoda Octavia is an attempt to show the Russian buyer all the benefits and disadvantages of acquiring a car that has received a more strict and at the same time solid appearance. This car has been sold in our country since the end of last spring with powerful and new engines installed by the manufacturer. It is noteworthy that the price does not seem to have changed much, although there have been clear changes aimed at modernizing and improving the main indicators. Let's try through this article to find out how much the best option for the Skoda Octavia will cost the Russian buyer latest version, and if there are any pitfalls here.
Making a choice among modifications is not so easy.
Let's start with the body, which so far there is nothing to choose from. According to the developers, the Combi body type will be released a little later, while the buyer will have to enjoy all the delights of a 5-door body, very much.
Skoda Octavia, as always, puts most of its competitors on the shoulder blades. This applies even to analogues on the MQB platform. What is worth alone luggage compartment, which can rightfully be called a transformer. The trunk allows you to easily increase the usable volume from 568 liters to 1500 liters. And most importantly, such a luggage compartment is included in the base price tag, which is very pleasing!
And the engines this time deserve only flattering words. Although Octavia is 20-30 kg heavier than the same Golf, given that the manufacturer decided to install more powerful engine. And it turned out to be Solomon's decision. 105 HP engine vs 86 hp Golf rightfully causes admiration. Although even such a powerful engine, given all the abilities of a loaded Skoda Octavia, can fail.
Therefore, the surcharge for 140 hp. can be considered justified, especially since the same version includes the system dynamic stabilization, which is so loved in Europe. There is another modification with 122 hp. engine, but, unfortunately, it is not sold in our country. Needless to say, it's likely Russian buyer I would opt for it, given the price and features.
But away with sadness and regret, because indeed the surcharge for the extra 35 horses will affect the excellent dynamics. Skoda Octavia with 140 hp the engine accelerates to 100 km in just 8.4 seconds. In addition, this modification is much more economical, as it burns only 6.5 l / 100 km at an urban pace.
On the video test drive of the car Skoda Octavia:
As for the most powerful Skoda Octavia of this model with 180 hp, it did not seduce us. Although it accelerates one second faster, and everything is fine with efficiency, but the price bites. you will need to pay extra to the previous price for the version with 140 hp. another 75 thousand rubles to purchase it. And after the purchase, you will have to take about 10 thousand rubles from the family budget annually to pay transport tax. In comparison, the tax on the modification of the Skoda Octavia with 140 hp. amounts to half the amount.
Another modification that is considered the most expensive is the Skoda Octavia Elegance with a 2 liter diesel engine developing 143 hp. But even with a good automatic transmission and quite excellent dynamics, this version will not justify its overpriced price, even after five years of operation.
Standard equipment modifications of the third generation Skoda Octavia
Video review of the car Skoda Octavia in the ACTIVE configuration:
Now about the choice of equipment. Basic version"Active" lacks side airbags, ESP systems, air conditioning and audio system. And besides this, an engine with 104 horses is installed on it, the power of which is clearly not enough for such a Skoda.

Here is the Skoda Ambient, which is more expensive by as much as 100 thousand rubles, it is well equipped. All of the above is installed here, but it is impossible to recognize the version as optimally equipped. The fact is that here you also need to buy window airbags and 2-zone climate control - options that should, which is the third generation Skoda Octavia. Also not included with this version. leather steering wheel, front armrest and stock alarm. All these, it seems to us, required options offer to purchase for a surcharge of 69 thousand rubles. And this amount is more than the difference between the version of "Ambient" and "Elegance", where all this is available.
What happens? The version of the Skoda Octavia "Elegance" with a 1.4T engine is the most the best option in respect of rich equipment and other options. Equipped with 140 hp engine, this Skoda Octavia costs about 850 thousand rubles.
Options - important or not
Now let's try to deal with some packages and options. Let's start with a headlight washer, which is retailed in our country, about 5,000 rubles. In our conditions, the option is necessary when interacting with xenon headlights, with the dirt on which he copes. But if the headlights are halogen, then the headlight washer becomes an extra option, since with its function in this case obviously won't work.

The video is reviewing the Skoda Octavia in the AMBITION configuration:
Another Bluetooth accessory with an external antenna and voice control for only 11,200-12,400 rubles is the option that we liked the most. In this case, it becomes possible to amplify the signal by wirelessly connecting the mobile phone to the antenna of a car or other communicator. The option is useful and will become a reliable assistant to those drivers who have parts in places called "holes" and which are not on the map of the coverage area mobile operators.

The next accessory for the Skoda Octavia is a driver fatigue sensor, estimated at 1,400 rubles. Probably, everyone is already familiar with this novelty, which will not let the tired and nodding driver fall asleep. The option takes care of security and therefore, taking into account also low price, you can buy it.
Hill climb assistant is an option for those who, and indeed, are a useful thing. Such an assistant is able to hold for a couple of seconds brake pads, which will make it easier to move on a slope. Such an assistant costs 3,000 rubles, and it is given as a gift if you choose the Skoda Octavia version with a DSG robot box.
Navigator "Amundsen" for only 12 thousand rubles. Cheap, but the factory navigator is not able to lay a route, bypassing traffic jams. Suitable for those who love to travel.
But not for a Russian. Although on the other hand, the Skoda Octavia will be adequately equipped and driving will become a truly comfortable pastime.
"Package/9" for 68 thousand rubles for those who desperately need a 230-volt socket in the car and for those who do not want people to smoke in their car, since the socket is inserted in place of the ashtray for rear passengers. But in addition, you get the eighth package for free with everything taken together.
"Safety package / 2" for 4700 rubles includes a driver fatigue sensor, a third headrest on the back sofa. Although the meaning of such compatibility is not entirely clear, but maybe this is such a sophisticated concern shown by the manufacturer about a company of 5 people who took a walk the day before?
"Columbus" for 58 thousand rubles, which, unlike "Amundsen", has only an increased diagonal of the display and the ability to watch DVD movies. Expensive, even very expensive.
But the kit for 2100 rubles is useful option, which will significantly relieve the compartment, which until then looked like a football field with several balls.
In conclusion, I would like to dwell again on the Skoda Octavia "Elegance - 1.4T", which we consider the best option. It is better to buy such a version, which includes virtually the entire set of various options. And with its ingeniously executed chassis, the car will please even the most active rider.
At the same time, the price for this version of Skoda does not exceed 900 thousand rubles and combines a spacious trunk and excellent dynamics.
