Exterior
The front face of the 2020 Skoda Octavia Estate has become slightly shorter, but taller. The tilt has also increased for better visibility from the driver’s seat. The estate is particularly distinguished by its hood, which now has more relief in the form of stripes of various heights and the protruding center. The radiator grille, slightly larger than before, has retained its trapezoidal shape. It is decorated with an opening at the top, as well as a massive chrome line that frames its perimeter. The grille pattern comprises numerous thin, vertical stripes. The bright and elongated headlights with xenon or LED filling align with the right and left parts of the air intake. The superior trim versions can also boast fog optics. The doors and fenders of the vehicle incorporate a stylish combination of “faceted” and smoothly flowing relief, resting at the bottom against the bright, strongly protruding sills equipped with plates and the circular wheel arches. The rear of the vehicle looks very powerful due to the strongly tilted large rear window and a massive visor hanging over it.
Interior
The interior of the new 2020 Skoda Octavia Estate has also changed. It is finished with better materials, including wear-resistant fabrics, several types of plastic, metal inserts and artificial or real leather. Moreover, the engineers have expanded the multimedia system. The center console is brighter than before, featuring a large touch screen, from which you can configure almost all functions. Below is a thin row of physical buttons and small but interesting ducts. The seats are significantly more comfortable and cozy. The front seats are equipped with decent lateral support, adjustable head restraints, heating and position adjustments based on mechanical or electric drives. In addition to the last two options, the backseat is also equipped with a folding armrest and an organizer.
Modifications
In Israel, the 2020 Skoda Octavia Estate is only available as a front-wheel drive vehicle with a 7-speed semi-automatic transmission. Plus, there are two turbocharged petrol or diesel engines. A 1.5 liter petrol engine with 150 hp allows the estate to accelerate to 214 km/h, while the average fuel consumption is 5.1 liters per 100 km. A 2.0 liter diesel engine with 150 hp provides a speed of up to 221 km/h, consuming, on average, 4.3 liters per 100 km.
Trim versions

Thus, the Octavia equipped with a diesel engine offers the Special and Style trims. As for the petrol version, there are the Ambition Space and Exclusive Space trims.
