The volume of the boot of Skoda Octavia. Skoda Octavia specifications

As you know, cars "Skoda" always differed pragmatic, ergonomic and refined simplicity. Spacious interior and a huge trunk - were and remain a feature of models of the Czech brand. Today we will talk about the trunk of the car "Skoda Octavia", as well as some of its other characteristics. We will consider the third generation, which left the assembly line in 2013. Let's find out why this car is ideal for family trips.

Dimensions

Let's start with eloquent figures. Dimensions of the machine are as follows: length - 4659, width - 1814, and height - 1461 mm. The wheelbase of the car is 2686 mm. As a result, Octavia is deservedly considered one of the most capacious cars in its class. No competitor is able to offer such a successful combination of legroom and space above his head. The length of the interior of the model of the third generation is 1782 mm. The rear passengers have more than enough legroom - 73 mm from the sofa to the back of the front seat, located in the back position. The height of the cabin on the back row is 980 mm. Usually, the space in the passenger compartment is detrimental to the volume of the trunk. "Skoda Octavia" is capable of breaking this stereotype.

Cargo area

Like all the "relatives", the hero of our story can boast a very capacious trunk. The volume of the luggage compartment "Octavia" in the body of the sedan is as much as 590 liters. Folding the backs of the rear seats, you can increase this figure to 1580 liters. To backs up, you do not have to run around the car. In the trunk there is a button for this. Convenient loading provides a wide opening (1123 mm in length) and a convenient boot lid. "Skoda Octavia" also features a small loading height of the luggage compartment - 699 mm. And this, by the way, is one of the best indicators in the class.

The Simly Clever concept

Luxury trunk and spacious interior are due not only to the elongated wheelbase and impressive dimensions of the car. An important role was played by a concept called Simly Clever. Its main task - to hide all the little things that usually take place in the trunk and salon.

Armrest

As a standard equipment for rich pickings and optional for the poor, a so-called Jumbo Box is installed between the front seats - a fairly spacious storage compartment for small items, which has an armrest as the lid. In versions of Octavia with air conditioning, this compartment is also cooled. Next to him, on the center console, are a holder for a glass and telephone.

Scraper

In winter, there is a scraper for windows in the trunk of each car. In the Octavia, it is conveniently located under the hatch of the fuel tank hatch. Of course, to completely clean the glass, such a scraper will have to work half a day, but you can quickly clean the glass in the right place. And one more highlight. How do you imagine what is built into the scraper? Never guess - a magnifying lens. But it's okay. Just imagine, there is a special holder for parking tickets on the windshield. Oh, these Czechs.

Trash can

Another thing that helped increase the volume of the trunk. "Skoda Octavia" in all trim levels has a convenient plastic container for debris, which is placed in the compartment on the door. At first glance it seems that this is a trifle. But every driver, who once went by car with his family on long trips (if he does not pollute the roadside), knows that after several hours of travel both the salon and the trunk turn into a trash. Especially if the car has children.

Waist Holder

Those who carry a reflective waistcoat will be happy to learn that there is a special compartment for him in the car of the Skoda Octavia. It is no longer necessary to look for a waistcoat in the interior of the trunk and think about where to put it, so as not to get in the way all the time. A convenient plastic compartment for the vest is located under the driver's seat. By the way, there is a similar department under the front passenger seat. Practical Czechs did not put in place not one free corner.

Elements of luggage fixation

That during the trip, things did not move around the luggage compartment, in "Octavia" there are quite a few convenient fasteners. Under the upper shelf is installed a grid for small things. Still there are nets, which you can pull from side to side. For this, hooks are provided on the walls of the trunk. If desired, you can hang the packages on them. And to the floor on the stickers are attached corners, which allow simple, but reliably fix boxes, suitcases and stuff. Corners and grids are stored in special compartments, without reducing the volume of the trunk. "Skoda Octavia", as practice shows, is best sold in the body sedan and station wagon. The second option will be discussed below.

Octavia wagon

This version has no less interesting details than the sedan. So, the fifth door of the station wagon opens the driver access to 610 liters of usable volume. Folding the backs of the rear seats, you can increase the figure to 1740 liters. First, it is almost 100 liters more than a similar second generation car. And secondly - this is a record among "classmates." But, as the Skoda engineers say, the main thing is not the number of liters, but how they are used. Doing it with the mind is their hobby, as we have already seen, considering the ergonomics of the sedan. Now let's talk a bit about the trunk of the station wagon.

Two options

The trunk in Combi versions (also called station wagon) can be performed in two versions. The first one is with a traditional reserve, which hides under the raised floor. The second is much more interesting - without a reserve, but with a double floor. He is just a dream for smugglers. His upper shelf is 15 centimeters above the bottom. It is installed flush with the opening of the fifth door, folded backs of the rear seats and shelves on the sides of the trunk. Thus, you get a completely flat floor, under which you can still put something. But if desired, the partition-transformer falls (increasing the capacity of the trunk), leans or folds. All this is done thanks to the joints. Thus, the master of the station wagon can not only reduce / enlarge the trunk and hide something under the floor, but also choose one of the options for distinguishing space in the luggage compartment of the car "Skoda Octavia". Complete sets with zapaska this option is excluded.

Pleasant trifles

In the trunk of the Octavia Combi there are two lamps and a 12-volt outlet. To fold the back row backs directly from the trunk, you just need to pull the corresponding levers. Separate attention is deserved by an optional double-sided mat in the trunk. "Skoda Octavia" will help its owner keep the luggage compartment clean. One side of the rug is nap, designed for clean things, and the second is rubberized, repels water and dirt.

First-aid kit, emergency stop sign, grids and other important small things to be fastened with Velcro on the sides of the trunk. To protect the top of the compartment from the salon helps roll blind or a special dense partition.

Car Design

The main designer of the third generation of Octavia was Josef Kaban. The one who before this was engaged in the design of the Rapid model. His career began in the studio of Volkswagen. As a result, "Octavia" became as German as possible. Absolute brevity. A minimum of memorable details, a black and white emblem and a lot of features reminiscent of Rapid.

Under the hood

Motor range of the third "Octavia" is distinguished by a wide variety of both gasoline and diesel power plants. Petrol: 1,2 liter. (85 and 104 hp); 1.4l. (140 hp); 1.8L. (170 hp). Diesel: 1.6L. (104 hp); 2L. (149 hp). Virtually all motors work with either a manual gearbox (5 or 6 steps) or with a DSG robot (6 or 7 stages). The most economical is the diesel version of the car with a 1.6-liter engine and a manual transmission. In a mixed cycle, this car consumes only 3.8 liters of fuel per 100 km.

Separate attention deserves a robotic box for Skoda Octavia. The DSG comes with a wet (6-speed) and a dry (7-speed) clutch. The second option is especially interesting. It has such advantages: weight (70 kg vs 90) and high productivity. But there is a drawback - a limited "digestion" of torque.

"Skoda Octavia": complete sets

The basic equipment called Active includes: 1.4-liter engine, 5-stage manual transmission, simple functional, fog lights, central locking, trip computer and power windows. That's basically all that the start version of the car "Skoda Octavia" boasts. The price of this car varies in the range of 887-947 thousand rubles.

The next version is called Ambition. It is equipped with motors for 1.4 or 2.0 liters. There are also alloy wheels, LED lamps, footwell lights and a third head restraint in the back row. This car will cost in 1018 - 1251 thousand rubles.

The next equipment - Elegance, it's Style, differs from the previous 1.8-liter engine; Electric drive, heating and darkening of exterior mirrors; As well as rear parking sensors. The price of this version is 1110 - 1342 thousand rubles.

There are a couple more bundles, but they differ slightly from the previous one.
