Skoda Octavia Combi L and K

The Škoda Octavia is a medium family car introduced in 1996 by the car manufacturer Škoda.

Mk1 - 1996 to 2004

The first generation Octavia was manufactured from 1996, and was built on the same chassis as the Audi A3 I, VW Golf IV, VW Bora/Jetta IV and SEAT León I.

The first generation Octavia had a facelift in 2001, and is still manufactured and marketed in some markets. In those markets, the first-generation Octavia is still known as Octavia, and the newer model is referred to as the new Octavia. In India, the newer model is marketed as the Laura. In Germany, and other parts of West-Europe, the older model is marketed as the Octavia TOUR, while the newer model is marketed as the Octavia. The major difference between the two is the interior. The newer one had interior that is, most people claim, way better laid out and designed with more sense, and much more resembles VW cars, rather than the dull interior of the old Škodas, that the first model has.

Mk2

A new model was introduced in 2004 -- it is based on the platform also used by VAG cars like Audi A3 II, VW Golf V, VW Golf Plus, VW Touran and VW Passat VI. Along with a new engine range, body changes included more legroom for rear seat passengers (a weak point in the original model) and increased ground clearance at front and rear to reduce the risk of grounding on steep ramps or facing kerbs.

A SUV-version of the Octavia have been annonced (fall 2006) under the name Octavia Scout. The estate version of the Octavia can already be delivered with four wheel drive - using the Haldex-system - which is based on a computer-controlled clutch-based center-differential. The Octavia 4x4 have 24 mm higher ground clearence than the standard version. The Octavia Scout is additional 16 mm higher from the ground than the Octavia 4x4.

Engines

The engines used are the same as for many other cars in the Volkswagen Group. For the 1996-2004-versions of the Octavia, the most common engines are:

  • 1.4 - 75 bhp
  • 1.6 - 75/100/102 bhp (8v)
  • 1.8 - 125 bhp
  • 1.8T - 150 bhp (180 bhp for RS-version)
  • 1.9TDI - 90/100/105/110/115/130 bhp
  • 1.9SDI - 75 bhp
  • 2.0 - 115 bhp

For the second generation Octavia:

  • 1.4 MPI - 75 bhp
  • 1.6 MPI - 102 bhp (8v)
  • 1.6 FSI - 115 bhp
  • 2.0 FSI - 150 bhp
  • 2.0 FSI Turbo - 200 bhp (Octavia RS 2006)
  • 1.9 TDI PD - 105 bhp
  • 2.0 TDI - 140 bhp
  • 2.0 TDI - 170 bhp
