Skoda adds two new trim levels to its best-selling Octavia range

The Skoda Octavia SE Sport is available in hatch and estate form and is offered with two engine options: 1.4-litre TSI 148bhp and 1.6-litre TDI 108bhp, with the option of a DSG gearbox on both. As part of the standard specification, SE Sport models stand out from the crowd thanks to 17-inch Denom alloy wheels, bi-xenon head lights, LED daytime running lights with automatic activation and LED rear lights.

Inside, SE Sport models feature sport seats, a Super Sport multi-function steering wheel and an automatic dimming rear view mirror, while standard technology includes Amundsen satellite navigation system with Wi-Fi and cruise control.

Joining the SE Sport in the expanded Octavia lineup is a new SE Technology model. It can be specified in hatch or estate forms, and is available with four TDI diesel options with power outputs ranging from 108bhp to 148bhp. The 1.6-litre TDI 108bhp engine can be specified with a DSG automatic, customers can also choose the frugal GreenLine III engine that offers exceptional economy of up to 2.9L/100km on the combined cycle and CO₂ emissions of 90g/km.

Like the SE Sport model, the SE Technology comes with a specification list that's bursting at the seams with equipment. Among the technology features included over the standard SE are an Amundsen satellite navigation system with Wi-Fi, a four-spoke multi-function steering wheel, adaptive cruise control (standard cruise control on GreenLine III models) and front and rear parking sensors. The equipment list also features a Chrome pack and double-sided boot floor covering along with light and rain sensors.
