Features
The Skoda Octavia 2021 has a more aggressive front end with a newly styled grille with a chrome-plated frame, slimmer headlamps with bi-LED technology, and LED fog lamps. The executive sedan's coupe-like roofline and 17-inch alloy wheels give it a dynamic appearance. The alloy wheels are created differently for the Style and Laurin & Klement variations. The rear-end, like the front-end, is sharp, with several lines going over the breadth of the automobile. The SKODA logo is prominently featured on the motorized tailgate. LEDs are used in the new two-part tail lamps.
The two-spoke steering wheel with knurled scroll wheels, first seen in the 2021 Skoda Superb, is also seen in the new Skoda Octavia. Other notable features include suede and leather upholstery, memory-adjustable front seats, dual-zone Climatronic AC with Aircare filter, Canton sound system with 12 speakers, wireless phone charger, ambient lighting, and paddle shifters.
