Skoda has revealed the Octavia estate ahead of its debut at next month's Geneva motor show. These are the first official pictures of the new
Skoda Octavia estate. The load-lugger will take its first public outing at the Geneva motor show next month.
The Skoda Octavia estate will offer a maximum 1740 litres of boot capacity with the rear seats folded flat, comfortably outspacing anything else in its segment. The new model, which will launch in the UK in early June, will offer a standard seats-up capacity of 610 litres.
The new cars wheelbase is 11cm longer than the hatchback, resulting in a 73mm increase in rear passenger room. It is 90mm longer and 45mm wider than the current Octavia estate.
Practical features include a double-sided boot mat, a luggage net, bag hooks and an ice scraper in the fuel filler cap.
Engines are expected to mirror the hatchbacks, with a potent vRS version set to follow in the summer.
Skoda will also unveil the new Octavia 4x4 in Geneva. As before, the car will feature a Haldex clutch, but this is likely to be mated exclusively to the 2. 0-litre TDI engine.
