Well equipped, good to drive and packed with ‘simply-clever’ features that make life easier, from a clip to hold your car parking ticket to an ice scraper that’s handily hidden away behind the fuel flap. With loads of interior space, a big boot and competitive running costs, Octavia is not only designed to make family life easier, it’s there to make it more enjoyable.

The estate takes everything that’s great about the Octavia hatchback and adds an additional helping of practicality. It packs a remarkable amount of space into a relatively small footprint, making it one of the roomiest estates at any price. An excellent family car, able to swallow people and luggage with ease.
