Škoda [Spy Shots] Next-gen Skoda Octavia Sedan & Combi (Spy Pics & Info)


Škoda Auto a.s. is a Czech automobile manufacturer established in 1925 as the successor to Laurin & Klement and headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic. Škoda Works became state-owned in 1948. After 1991, it was gradually privatized to Volkswagen Group, becoming a partial subsidiary in 1994 and wholly owned in 2000.

Yupp it looks decent. My favorite detail is the green house and the kink in the rear doors. Audi should use that for their own cars.

It really does look more aggressive than the outgoing model. I just hope that the new car comes equipped with more safety features as standard, because I am shocked to find out that curtain airbags and stability control are still optional extras. :wtf:

Granted they are not expensive optionals (£310 for the curtain airbags and £400 for the stability control), but in this day and age these should be standard.

Very nice: simply, understated. No stupid side lines, no bizarre bumpers, just clean, timeless design. I'm warming to Skoda to be my next car :)
 
People are saying that it looks like an Audi, but I beg to differ. In my opinion, Mladá Boleslav's finest looks much more München than Ingolstadt.

Add a kidney grille, the blue propeller badges and that's pretty much what a FWD BMW 5-door hatchback would look like. It's even got a Hofmeister Kink.
