Skoda's next Octavia

30 January 2004: Skoda Auto has issued the first official photograph on the long-awaited new Octavia which will be introduced at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show.

The car is 4,572 mm long, 1,769 mm wide and 1,462 mm high. The basic luggage-compartment capacity amounts to 560 litres.

The new Octavia will be powered by a range of familiar 1.4, 1.6 and 2-litre petrol engines and diesels which include 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI.

The Geneva reveal is something of a late arrival, as the car had been widely expected to appear at last September's car show in Frankfurt. But Skoda's VW bosses didn't want to take the shine off the new Golf.
