by The New Skoda Octavia in Ukraine has already gone on sale. As we have already written, it has not only noticeably refreshed its appearance but also received many technical changes and improved internally. However, there are 7 key differences in the Skoda Octavia 2020 that not everyone knows about.
- The 1.4 TSI gasoline engine in the new generation Skoda Octavia now works not with DSG (robotic transmission with dual clutch) but a traditional 8-speed Aisin automatic – which should have a positive effect on the transmission’s reliability and attract customers frightened by the ‘robot’.
- The umbrella compartments in the front door panels can accommodate not only an umbrella but also a brush for cleaning the car from snow. Meanwhile, neither a wet umbrella nor a damp brush will flood the doors with water, as the compartments have a special drainage system.
- The filler cap of the wiper fluid tank of the new Octavia is equipped with an ‘anti-spill’ system – a funnel that prevents liquid from spilling during filling.
- It will be easier for the driver of the 2021 model year Skoda Octavia to read the data from the instruments because the designers have made the steering wheel 2-spoked and installed a new instrument panel.
- For the first time, the Octavia has received such a useful little thing (optionally or as additional accessories) as gadget holders in the headrests of the front seats.
- A virtual pedal for opening the trunk ‘with a foot’ is not new for premium cars, but it is a novelty for the Octavia.
- The 2020 Octavia model year comes with 5 (!) USB ports and wireless charging for a smartphone.
