2013 Skoda Octavia

2013 Skoda Octavia: Skoda claims the new Octavia is the roomiest car in its class, with big emphasis placed on the extra 73mm of knee and 980mm of rear headroom. It's the 108mm increase in wheelbase that's made the difference inside.The boot is also a class best, at 590 litres (up from 585 in the old car). Overall, the Octavia's entire body has grown 90mm in length and 45mm in height, pushing the Octavia into mid-size saloon territory.

Less weight and a lower drag coefficient help the new Octavia's efficiency cause, along with a fleet of four petrol and four diesel engines. The eco-minded Greenline model gets a 109bhp 1.6-litre TDI engine that emits 89g/km of CO2 and drinks a gallon of diesel every 83 miles. A natural gas-fuelled motor with extra-low CO2 output will follow later, as will go-faster vRS models.
