"Skoda-Octavia" (station wagon): the third generation

Despite the fact that the debut of the third generation of the universal Skoda Octavia took place last year, the novelty appeared on the Russian market only in 2013. The car has slightly recovered in overall dimensions, visibly changed in appearance and changed its "stuffing". It was not without the use of modern technology. Well, let's consider how successful the third generation of the Czech car Skoda Octavia (station wagon) was.

Photo and review of design

Yes, this is clearly not a modest family runabout. It is a true conqueror of roads with male traits and aggression. The car welcomes us with solid lines and impressive optics, somewhere resembling the shape of "Rapid" headlights. What is noteworthy, the externally new Skoda-Octavia (station wagon) does not have extra glamorous details, which are increasingly appearing on many European stamps. In general, the appearance of the novelty deserves universal attention and praise. Czech designers have worked on the glory, giving the car a more modern and solid look.

Unfortunately, inside "Skoda-Octavia" (station wagon) is not so aggressive and stylish. Interior design of the third generation does not differ from other models of the manufacturer, but there are advantages in small changes. Among them, the increase in free space, which was achieved due to the expansion of body dimensions, was positive. The legs of the passengers are now definitely not sandwiched between the rear and front seats. The luggage compartment has also become more spacious. The comfort of Czech machines has always been on top, so in the new generation it remained the same, without any changes.
