In the car from the options there are almost everything except navigation (columbus), electric trunk, Webasto and some more insignificant trifles. I took 4900 km with mileage, the smell of the factory new, even preserved the smell in the car. At the moment, mileage on a odometer without a small 10 thousand km. Now in order, I will periodically pose an analogy with the Skodami of the previous generation, which I owned earlier.

In general, I can say that this is a completely different car than it was before. It has both good changes and not very. The appearance, in my opinion, was transformed for the better - it looks more assembled or solid. The interior of the Skodovski is simple, restrained and unprecedented, but most importantly - as always, everything is clearly, informative, in its places and nothing superfluous. Places has become significantly more compared to the same A5 scout, which is in front of. On the finishing materials, unfortunately began to save even more, for example, plastic on the doors and in some places Torpedo leaves much to be desired. On the lift, too, I went through the car, there also noticed a lot of interesting things, on what the Czechs saved, again, I have something to compare with. What, and all sorts of options, the A7 family on the new MQB platform awarded adequately: what is only a full-fledged panoramic roof, from which the feeling is created that you go in general in the cabriolet. But here, it was not without a lying to the tar - she periodically embroidered and crackles when driving along a rude stony asphalt (we will understand on the first then). There is also a cool bellish - a car parker with 12! Parking sensors never experienced problems with parking machines, but here, having tried the time to provide this opportunity to the computer, really really liked how it performs my function, parks the most accurately relative to the surrender cars and to the most small number of techniques, the wife is so in the great delight of this Fitchi. Now I often use it, especially when you need to be swaw into a small gap, or to leave when some ram arrogant. It looks or the skin / Alcantara seats with electric adjustments and memory, always dreamed of such, really very cool and comfortable! The side support is true in the seats lacking, and so in general, very comfortable and quite a lot of different adjustments. I also liked the option of the keyless lock "Kessy" with the engine start button - this is really a pleasant thing, I have already forgotten when the key was last made from the bag. Full-time adaptive bisenon - Honestly I did not expect that the Vagovs will save on the headlights and stuck Chinese shit, before the simple xenon shone much more pleasant and brighter, here I was disappointed. I heard more than once that people look around the ignition blocks, it is understandable to Made in China, there is no problem with light on the previous generation. The Canton Music System with a subwoofer has become an excellent addition to the new Bolero audio system with a built-in route computer and a bunch of different settings. The sound is far from ideal, but in comparison with Sound System, which was in the previous generation, just the sky and the Earth, by the way, you can also reflash for a more rich sound. It is a pity that the previous owner did not order the Columbus multimedia system, for in the new generation it was reworked on the root and now it became with an 8-inch screen in HD resolution. Unfortunately, to retrieve the car by this system while problematic - Russian "Kulibins" have not yet figured out how to combine navigation encoding, it is stupidly cut off with an abnormal installation, although there is one very advanced solution of this issue, but it will fly into a good penny.

Now I'll tell you a little about the transmission, engine and chassis. As everyone knows, a 7-step DSG box with "dry" clutches, which still continues to deliver trouble with their jambs (unfortunately, even cases of warranty replacement as a mechanical clutch and all node) , Therefore, I didn't even hold to buy 1.8 with a 7stress, as before. With DSG6, on a full drive, in fact, too, not everything so rosy as I would like. At RS FL, she worked somewhat different than at the current 1.8, most likely an electronic "rent" and environmental norms. Periodically there is a strong stupidity when switching to reduced transmission, and sometimes when you smoothly pressing the pedal can sharply shoot from the gun when it is not necessary. This problem has been partially cured by flashing the electronic gas pedal through the ODIS system, but only the firmware from third-party entry tuning can be cured completely the problem, so we are waiting for software. In the previous generation, the owners could not rejoice after the change of the DSG management program, the box completely began to lead himself, while there were no problems with the "hardware" after flashing at all. One thing I can say - unequivocally, it became smasher of the previous and twigs there are no, what happened on RSka in traffic jams. As for the new generation of EA888 Gen3 engines, this is a completely different song. The engine is recycled to the root, and has a very good potential. By the way, for 10 thousand mileage did not devour a gram of oil! I check the scribe of the dipstick every week. Once a 200 grams of antifreeze on mileage 6000km, now everything is normal. By the way, on the A7 with the front-wheel drive, the engine control program is somewhat different from the All-wheel drive version, the manufacturer threw it another 30nm of torque and has become on RS FL 280NM. Many oppressive owners have long fascinated this topic and pour firmware from the all-wheel drive version, rejoicing slightly increased dynamics. In the future, firmware should be released with more serious indicators, the benefit of the new engine it allows you to do with interest. According to their feelings, the dynamics of overclocking is very similar to the RS of the previous generation.

Regarding the suspension, full drive and brakes. Everyone knows that the cars come to Russia already with the so-called PPD (a package of bad roads), which many are unhappy. It is clear what to rejoice when trifles and roars are constantly taking place on the bodies. The previous owner of my shed decided to get rid of this problem practically without leaving the salon. True, he also moved over and shoved the springs of Eybach about whale with an understatement -40mm, and even changed the wheels (put the regular Skodovsky discs Alaris R18 with a 40m rubber profile). I can say that the handling has become simply excellent, in any turns, the car was walked as on the rails almost without rolls, but ... For me, such clearance (about 120mm) was simply critical, I found a golden middle, I found the springs from the new wagon Octavia RS, in perspective Mahnu shock absorbers on Bilstein B6. Now there is no normal and handling on the level and breakdowns, at the same time I upgraded the steering for the rasching settings, so that the excessive "vitality" in the handle was lost and the beacon did not feel with the same ride in the Moscow Ring Road. As for the full drive on Haldex5, until I can understand what its difference from 4 generations. But on the wet road and in the rain the car even on a sneaker in the floor starts without the slightest delays and slippers (the launch control "has tried" Lounche "with two pedals (DSG6 it allows) - even a hint of the beams), that you will not say about the same octavia RS which in barely drizzling turns into a grinding machine even in full stock. In general, I am waiting for the winter, and there will be visible, what 5 Haldex distinction will have and whether they are in general (ESP, by the way, has already re-overwhelmed the ability to completely disable the "souls"). The brakes are enough, because in the new generation finally thought to stick discs and pads of increased size, rather than that of the same Scout A5 FL. The brakes similar to the Golf R Mk6 of the previous generation were placed on a new RSU.

In general, I can say the car satisfied and do not regret that even used (if you can call it) took. I hope that it will not let the same scout, by which, by the way, sometimes I really miss (especially on its hurricane dynamics after serious improvements - both by iron and programmatically). The new scout did not wait due to the fact that there was no sense in it. Firstly, it will be more expensive than a minimum of 70 in a similar configuration, and secondly, I really do not like his painted plastic body kit, which in the previous generation often seated and rubbed. The differences will be in this body kit, SCOUT nameplates everywhere and in the dimension of the wheel rubber, otherwise it is the same barn as me.

Good luck and beaver! ;)

Czech giant recently updated the entire car family. The new Skoda received more direct geometric lines, futuristic wheels for rich equipment and many other pleasant improvements, including a complete drive of a new generation. Cars provided fifth reincarnation for a long-known Skoda Haldex coupling. The special revolution did not happen.

The knot ran into the mass and began to work a little faster. The pretension in the work of Haldex coupling, constantly providing a small percentage of the moment on the rear axle - the special pride of the Skodovodov. Moreover, the full drive system has always been a distinctive feature of Skoda, it was not installed only on budget small bars.

Production A7 COMBI 4 × 4 started in 2013. The third generation of Skoda Octavia quickly flooded the streets of the CIS cities and is no longer a rare. The model was a success and remained in the leaders of the segment in the post-Soviet space market, without losing a quantum of attractiveness for the consumer.

What's new B. Skoda. COMBI :

• Progressive design with a reduced level of aerodynamic resistance.
• Rear headlights with LED strip are available - option.
• Exhaust pipes hid from eyes.
• Motors can be equipped with both 6-speed mechanics and a DSG-7 branded machine.
• It was 1.5 centimeters more space above his head, the foot space increased significantly.
• The body dimensions have grown slightly - 90mm longer and 45mm wider than the predecessor.
• The volume of the trunk increased to 1740 liters with folded reverse seats - a record in the class.

Skoda has never done such interesting and bold designs, which did not suit many motorists, including owners. New lines will remain relevant much longer than the predecessor. Special attention engineers paid economy. The body became easier for the whole 102 kilograms, a seven-step box with dry clutch DSG appeared - the most economical machine at the concern VW.

• According to the manufacturer, consumptionO.ctavia 4 × 4 The 1.4 TFSI motor is 6 liters a hundred kilometers in a mixed cycle, overclocking up to 100 km / h takes 8 seconds - a very worthy combination of consumption / dynamics.

Prices

The cost of Skoda Octavia Combi 4 × 4 begins from 13880 euros. The most expensive modification is a two-liter turbodiesel with a DSG-7 box in the STYLE package will cost more than 80-100%. Three configurations are available to the choice: Active, Ambition and Elegance.

Compared to the predecessor, the cost of SKODA body repair will cost more, which is explained by the introduction of a complex climbing of the metal. Prices for plastic, bumpers, bubbles remain at a sufficiently available level. What attracts Skoda's service policy is a fixed cost of a planned one for each specific model.

Dynamics and handling Octavia Combi.

The branded four-wheel drive of the Skoda provides the most amazing and uniform overclocking with minimal slip. On dry asphalt, a 1.4 turbocharged with a DSG box accelerates the car to 100km / an hour in just 8.3 seconds, according to the passport - 8.5. A similar indicator at a two-liter turbodiesel. Gasoline 1.8 with preselective DSG transmission breaks up to hundreds for a second faster.

Octavia 4 × 4 behaves quite predictably and confidently on turns, it contributes to light body and anterior independent suspension of McPherson with triangular transverse levers. Comfort in versions of 1.8, which are equipped with rear multi-dimensional, high level. The remaining modifications are equipped with a torsion beam, quite tough and ineffective, but very reliable.

Characteristics Octavia.

The main advantage of the geometry of Octavia 4 × 4 Combi - clearance, which is 155mm, which allows you to confidently overcome light off-road. Body dimensions: Length - 4659mm, Height - 1465, Width - 2017. Wheel base - 2686mm.

The maximum speed ranges in the range of 193-216km / hour on the engines of 1.2 TSI-2.0 TDI, respectively. 1.6 MPI, the most voracious, consumes 9.6 liters of high-octane gasoline per hundred kilometers in urban mode. The curb mass of the Skoda Octavia station is 1247-1367kg, depending on the configuration.

• The volume of the fuel tank is 50 liters, which are grabbed by an average of 850 kilometers of the way. Electronic full driveSkoda. redistinates the moment if necessary to save gasoline.

Octavia Scout 4 × 4 - a little more off-road

The main difference between the "scout" - clearance of 171mm, against 155 at Combi. All the same four-wheel drive with the electronic correction for each wheel, similar dimensions. To protect against gravel, herbs and branches have been added plastic unpacked lining on the thresholds and wings that can not be sled during the passage of complex areas. The four-sized drive works through the 4 × 4 Haldex clutch of the 5th generation and is able to produce 85% of the moment on one of the wheels and up to 90% on the rear axle.

More honors Skoda Octavia Scout. :

• For Russia, only one version with a row four-cylinder eight is 1.8 liters and the DSG-6 box.
• Rear installed a multi-dimensional suspension instead of beam.
• Pack of bad roads.
• In the basic configuration, seventeenty-levy alloy discs are available.
• Full protection of crankcase and bumpers.
• More energy-intensive shock absorbers are applied with extended springs.
• To reduce the mass of cars, engineers reduced the amount of hydraulics in a 4 × 4 coupling.

Prices

Prices on Skoda Scout have grown together with the possibilities of the machine and charge. The cost begins with 17 thousand euros. This amount includes six airbags, adaptive fog lights, full electric circuit, regular multimedia with touchscreen, fabric sewing chairs, bixenon light, active cruise, two-zone climate, glass hatch above head.

• UsedOctavia. Scout. The previous generation in good condition can be purchased for 10 thousand euros.

Dynamics and handling

As already mentioned, only gasoline 1.8 with a six-speed DSG machine gun will be supplied to Russia, and it will be discussed. In sports mode, the acceleration dynamics is very sensible and allows you to break away from the urban stream or boldly go to overtaking.

A hundred Skoda is gaining in 7.8 seconds. Maximum speed - 216km / hour. The more rigid operation of the shock absorbers compensates for the high clearance and the machine is turns into the turns like aluminated. Good handling is characteristic of all generations of Skoda Octavia. A full-wheel drive makes overclocking more smoothly, none of the axes strive to go into the skid, the slip is minimal.

In the Scheme: The system four-wheel drive distributes the moment when the wheels hit the various types of coating.

Characteristics

As in the usual universal Skoda Octavia, here you can place the long luggage to 3 meters. Body dimensions: length - 4685mm, width - 1814, height - 1531. Five people will spread in the cabin with comfort. The volume of the trunk with the folded seats of the rear row - 1740 liters, with decomposed - 610.

• Consumption in a mixed cycle - 6.9 liters / 100 kilometers. Recommended gasoline brand - AI-95.

conclusions

Octavia 4 × 4 is ideal for family travels to the country, in the forest, lake or the sea. This contributes to a high level of security, achieved by both active systems and the rigidity of the body. Both models are designed for young people with an average income, appreciating a healthy lifestyle. The volume of the trunk and rigid suspension allow you to transport a small number of building materials, and the salon contributes to comfortable trips to distant distances.

The path of the Czech soldier wagon of the third generation to Russia turned out to be quite long ... At first there was a spring world premiere of 2014 in Geneva, later the wagon of high passing looked at the Moscow International Auto Show and only in October, finally, a start of official sales in our country.

Octavia 2015 model year skut in Russia turned out to be a little higher supposed, but not so much to scare away potential buyers, the benefit of this car quite corresponded to the money requested for them.

By the third decade of December 2016, a restyled "Svodelnik" arrived, which completed the update program of the entire Octavia family, stretching into three stages.

The car underwent almost the same metamorphosis as the standard model - he changed "represented" at the expense of the "four-chapted" optics, received new versions (however, "not for Russia") and "equipped" inaccessible before the equipment.

The second embodiment of Czech scout is larger than its predecessor and much more aggressive in terms of design. The exterior is based on the third-generation base universal contours, but stylish off-road plastic body kit with enhanced bumpers, a special design of wheeled wheels, enlarged clearance and SCOUT signals will easily distinguish the all-wheel drive universal from the city version.

The noveltples body almost 70% consists of high strength steel and a certain share of ultrahigh-strength steel, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the car with respect to the predecessor on average by 27-30 kg. A noticeable step forward is also marked in terms of aerodynamics, and this is a direct contribution to the reduction of fuel consumption and improving acoustic comfort in the cabin.

As for the dimensions, the length of the "second" Octavia Scout is 4685 mm, the wheelbase is equal to 2679 mm, the body width does not exceed 1814 mm, and the height resumes in a mark of 1531 mm. The clearance (road clearance) of the "soldier" station wagon is 171 mm.

The interior of this modification is almost identical, in terms of design, the outdoor version of the OCTAVIA version of the 3rd generation, but more expensive materials are used in its decoration in several combination options. In addition, numerous inscriptions "Scout" are distributed across the decoration, harmoniously fit into it and resembling a "off-road" character of the car, and the pedals are equipped with stylish metal overlays with rubber anti-skid inserts.

The interior of the car is very ergonomic, spacious, and on both rows of seats, and is supplemented with a spacious trunk having a transformable double floor, a set of fasteners, a double-sided rug and a comfortable loading height.

The minimum trunk volume is equal to 588 liters (610 liters without spicy), but with a folded second row, the seats increase to 1718 liters (1740 liters without spicy). It also should also be noted that with the folded back of the front passenger seat, it is possible to carry a long length of almost 3 meters long.

Specifications. The Russian owners of the station wagon of high passability will have to be content with only one version of the power plant. On this role, the Czech manufacturer chose a 4-cylinder row gasoline unit with a working volume of 1.8 liters (1798 cm³). The motor fully complies with the EURO-6 environmental standard, and the list of its equipment includes a 16-valve timing, direct fuel injection, gas distribution phase change system, start / stop system and turbocharging, which also allows you to develop 180 "horses" of maximum power at 5100 - 6000 rpm. As for the torque, then at the peak, reaching at a 1350 - 4500 rev / minute, it rests on a 280 Nm mark, giving the opportunity to speed up the wagon from 0 to 100 km / h for an acceptable 7.8 seconds, and this is without activating the Sport mode " Well, the upper high-speed threshold is marked with a mark of 216 km / h.

The selection of transmissions Czechs also did not provide - the only motor works in a pair with a single 6-speed "robot" DSG with two clutches, which makes it possible to achieve a very reasonable fuel consumption of the AI-95 brand at 6.9 liters in the mixed operation cycle. From the minuses of the checkpoint, we note the "classic" desire to quickly go to the highest transmission, which often leads to the delay of switching when the accelerator is active, so that it is better to use the "Sport" mode for aggressive driving, in which these "flaws" are not so noticeable.

Built "Second Universal Octavia Skout" on the basis of a slightly upgraded VW MQB platform. The front part of the body relies on a standard independent suspension with MacPherson racks, and the rear is supported by an independent multi-sided design. Unlike the European version, the Russian version is equipped with more energy-intensive shock absorbers and a special package "for bad roads", including, among other things, protect the engine crankcase.
The wheels of the front axle of the car have ventilated disc brake mechanisms, simple disk brakes are assigned rear wheels. Rack steering mechanism demonstrates an electromechanical amplifier as an assistant. Also note that already in the base of the five-door is equipped with ABS + EBD, BAS systems, ESP and helping technology at lifting.

As mentioned at the very beginning, Octavia Scout is a wagon with a full drive system based on the Haldex 5th generation coupling, a supplemented electronic imitation function of differential blocking (EDL). The system is capable of transmitting up to 90% of the rear axle, as well as redistribute the moment between the rear axle wheels (up to 85% per wheel), which guarantees good permeability on the light off-road and excellent resistance on the wet or icing asphalt tracks. In this regard, the modification "Scout" is as close as possible to crossovers, which certainly "spoil the nerves" in our market.

Configuration and prices. In Russia, "SKODA SKODA Octavia Scout 2017 is sold in one configuration, which is estimated in the amount of 1,962,000 rubles. Standard Functional Occupitor-Universal - this is: six airbags, heated front armchairs, electric trunk lid, 17-inch "rollers", "climate" with two coverage areas, ERA-GLONASS system, ABS, ESC, EBD, "Music" With 8 speakers, rear parking sensors and other modern options.
For surcharge, the car can be equipped with LED headlights, a panoramic roof, a more advanced information and entertainment center, monitoring "blind" zones, an assistant movement in the strip and other modern "chips".

All-wheel drive Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 is available for orders in Russia. The car has a new A7 body, advanced transmission and engine.

To the big trunk, the Skoda Octavia Combi was also a four-wheel drive, an ideal car for country trips. Immediately it is worth indicating that in Europe, the All-wheel drive version of the Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 has a diesel engine, in Russia the car is offered with a gasoline turbo engine to a working volume of 1.8 liters with a capacity of 180 hp. As a gearbox, there is a robotic DSG automatic with 6 steps.

Externally, the front-wheel drive version of the wagon and the 4x4 modification is not much different. Unless the 4x4 icon on the OCTAVIA COMBI 4X4 trunk lid, as in this photo.

The all-wheel drive transmission itself is borrowed from the crossover Skoda Yeti. About which we wrote a big article. The main aggregate of the transmission is the advanced Haldex coupling 5. The work of this all-wheel drive transmission is characterized by some features. In terms of normal roads, more than 90% of the torque is transmitted to the front wheels. But it is worth going on a slippery road or frank dirt, then thanks to Haldex coupling, the same 90% torque can almost instantly be transmitted to the rear wheels of Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 and back.

Characteristics New Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4

As for sizes and dimensions. That Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 is not much different from the ordinary station wagon Skoda. But there are some features. So the ground clearance is slightly smaller, due to the fact that the mass of the car is increased. For example, a wagon Octavia Combi with a turbo engine 1.8 TSI weighs 1352 kg in a curb state, and with the same motor, but in the all-wheel drive version 100 kilograms more. Accordingly, fuel consumption is greater, and the speaker is slightly worse. COMBI 4X4 fuel consumption in mixed mode is 6.7 liters of gasoline, and in front-wheel drive version 6 liters. By the way, the volume of gas tank in the All-wheel drive version of the stationary 4x4 55 liters, while the usual Octavia Combi is exactly 50 liters. The rear suspension at version 4x4 is completely redesigned, because there it was necessary to place additional nodes and transmission units.

Package and prices Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4

In Russia, all-wheel drive Combi is offered only with a 1.8 TSI engine with a capacity of 180 hp Plus 6-speed DSG box. The price of the most affordable version of Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 starts from a mark of 1,061,000 rubles in the AMBITION MEDICATION. In the top version of the Elegance, the car is already 1,134,000 rubles. Actually, there are not many competitors in this class, classmates do not offer anything like that. Neither Ford Focus, Neither Chevrolet Cruz with Opel Astra does not have all-wheel drive universal on the Russian market. Actually, in the absence of competition, the price of Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 over a million rubles. Compete with a car from the Czech Republic, it can except all-wheel drive universal Subaru, which also have a rather large price.

It is unlikely that the demand for the all-wheel drive universal in our country will be large, due to the fact that the crossover can be taken for the same money, the same yeta for example. Therefore, the manufacturer did not offer a large number of variations with multiple engines.

Video Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4

Small video overview of all-wheel drive Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4.

It is also worth mentioning about the off-road version of Octavia Combi 4x4, which is called Skoda Octavia Skout. This modification other than the front drive and the increased road lumen has a lot of external differences. Such as lining on the thresholds and wheeled arches, more protected bumpers. According to representatives of Skoda in Russia, Skoda Octavia Scout will appear in the near future.

Three hours of weather hea - and we sit at the table, immersing the socks of the shoes in the puddles from their own clothes. April Gelendzhik, from the take-off strip of a tiny airport to serpentines at the top, is painted in cyclone. And it seems that there is more bad weather - the main topic for discussions.

How do you like new headlights? - Skoda's change is asking me, P-O-business trying not to give tremors.

A-apchchi!

What to say - nature intervened. I am ashamed, but in the face of Liftback, which has passed the scheduled update, I have not looked at that time. Loaho throwing the bags in Zhero trunk (it's hard to miss) and almost receiving the door from opening in the wind, I locked in the salon and refused to go out until the sun would lead to me.

Although on the other side of the hood "Octavia" changes. Embroidered to four unequal stakes The front optics has become a cool reason to suit the network. In fact, restyling the Czech Liftbek in the fifth year of life coincided with the care of her chef designer. When we were represented by the first live cars, Joseph Kaban had already packaged pencils and plan-gears to fly to Munich. Ober-nourishing on Octavia, he would not see something radically fastened in it.

The live car looks interesting than in the network, and this freshness draws a few, but new body folds. The controversial jum between the headlights, which has not yet been met on modern Skoda, is a thing that too much value is granted: in fact, the car's polyposis is not so striking. But a more interesting lattice and a new bumper are noticeable, which in the tandem with white LED-eyelashes in headlights of attention. There is still a contrasting roof and diode lights - any restyling is obliged to end at the modified rear. It is a pity, from the frozen rain and drops of feed looks like a puffy red film. Yes, conversations about the details better lead in the room. I pull my hand under the Passenger seat pillow and remove the new chip "Octavia" from the niche - the folding umbrella. The coolest thing can be detected under the chair.

So, the new suspension?

No, it is updated.

Indeed, correcting its facade in the middle of life "Octavia", engineers suddenly deepened in the design of the rear suspension. Why, after all, claims to her (what to the enhanced "Russian package" of the basic beam, what to an advanced multi-dimension) was not gained to something serious? It is possible to partly unify Liftback and Big Kodiaq - expanding with a 20 mm kola (with a multi-dimension - by 30 mm) and the introduction of new bearings. Or maybe it's just in the desire to push the wheels from the arches for the design.

Anything else? Motors (including atmospheric 1,6 Mpi) remained the same, gearboxes - 6- and 7-speed DSG robots are also not "Breakin News", but a new thing in Russia called "four-wheel drive" will accumulate Skoda points.

The four leading wheels (paired with a 180-strong "one-and-eight") are available to the universal, and Liftbekka, turning the latter in general in a unique thing, "not having direct competitors," as the guys from Skoda are emphasized.

And yes, both of these versions will be more expensive: to get to Russia they are not from neighboring Nizhny Novgorod (there will continue to assemble the available front-wheel drive "Octavius"), and straight from Czech Mlada Boleslav.

The demand for Octavia 4x4 is hardly mad, but the company believes that the image itself is important: both in the golf class, and in general, as applied to the passenger non-premium, the Haldex of the fifth generation is a strong trump card.

Updated Octavia is new options. For example, three of the four available multimedia complexes (the coolest - from 9.2 inches to the diagonal) have touch keys. For the monitoring of the "dead" zones and pedestrian recognition on the go (for cars for more expensive) is now in response electronic assistants surveillance and braking,

and Era Glonass is in the Glonass base. It's funny that with all this, the most basic octavia in its 110 atmospheric forces after restyling has risen in price of only 2 percent. Hmm?
