Skoda cars are very popular both in many European countries and in Russia. Among the wide variety of lines on the market throughout the history of the brand, the Octavia model stands out, which motorists appreciate for the balance of such key indicators as: price, quality, elegant design and reliability.

In 2019, Skoda plans to release the fifth generation of the Octavia car, which will be discussed in our review.

Model history

First generation Skoda Octavia was released in 1959, so we can say that in 2019 this car will be 60 years old! Of course, since the first Octavia model left the assembly line in Mlada Boleslav, the car has changed a lot, both externally and technically. Models of the first generation, whose gasoline engine produced 45 hp, sold 365,400 units and this was the first export line of the brand's cars that entered the showrooms of Western Europe.

Second generation model, released in 1996, had nothing to do with the first, except for the name, which had already become quite popular. Octavia-II was based on the Volkswagen Golf 4 generation platform. The cars that received a new look were produced in hatchback and station wagon bodies and were equipped with reliable power units manufactured by Volkswagen, complete with which a mechanical or automatic transmission was installed. All-wheel drive versions were also released.

third generation debuted in 2004. The basis for the updated model was the 5th generation golf, and the changes affected the exterior, interior, equipment and technical characteristics of the car.

On the basis of the 4th generation car, an off-road station wagon with increased ground clearance, all-wheel drive and a stylish body kit was also released. The range of power units was significantly expanded, in addition to which classical mechanics, a time-tested automatic machine, and an innovative robot were offered.

fourth generation Skoda Octavia was released in 2013 and will be presented in showrooms until the new 2019 model goes on sale. The car is offered in three trim levels:

active;
Ambition;
style.

Also on sale is a “charged” RS version with a powerful two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine capable of delivering 230 hp.

fifth generation will be the expected car Skoda Octavia 2019, which will be released in a new body and will receive a range of the most innovative options. It is expected that the model will compete with such cars as: Chevrolet Cruze, Toyota Avensis, Nissan Sentra and Opel Astra.

The exterior of the new Octavia

The updated Skoda Octavia 2019 model year is a large, stylish and reliable car that will retain all the advantages inherent in the model that is well known to motorists, but at the same time it will receive a number of significant changes. First of all, the car will increase slightly in size. Its length will be 4,700 mm, which will make the interior even more comfortable.

The exterior promises to be truly special, because Josef Kaban himself (the famous creator of the Bugatti Veyron) took part in its development. Judging by the photos presented on the network, he managed to combine the elegance of classical forms and futuristic elements in one car, giving the model a special charisma.

The car turned out really not like its predecessor. First of all, changes such as;

design in the original Matrix style;
smooth lines in the elements and stampings of the body;
innovative LED optics, which received a new form and two-row design;
spectacular grille, giving the car an aggressive and dynamic style;
creative design of the front bumper, which integrates modules of LED lights;
a rear wing above the fifth door, which improves the aerodynamics of the car;
twin exhaust pipes;
stylish wheels 16 or 18 inches (depending on configuration).

New interior

The restyled Skoda Octavia in 2019 will be released not only in a new body, but also with an updated interior, which can be appreciated by high-quality photos of new items.

The interior will be made in a classic style. High-quality materials, ergonomics of space and thoughtfulness of the cabin in the smallest detail will ensure maximum functionality and comfort, which will certainly be appreciated by the future owners of the novelty.

Salon Skoda Octavia model 2019 will delight with such advantages:

stylish two-tone design;
convenient multi-wheel 3-spoke design;
analog dashboard with a display that displays information from the on-board computer;
comfortable chairs with pleasant to the touch and practical fabric upholstery;
large touch-screen monitor 9.2 inches;
functional multimedia system that supports integration with various modern gadgets;
multichannel acoustics;
multizone climate control.

Due to the fact that the car has increased in size, the engineers were able to carve out additional centimeters for the trunk. Now its volume is 630 liters, which is quite enough for a family, especially considering the possibility of increasing the volume by independently transforming the three backs of the second row seats.

Specifications

Since the Czech Republic is the birthplace of the Skoda Octavia, engineers have paid special attention to the compliance of the car with the requirements and fashion trends of the EEC, and this promises us another car with a hybrid installation at the beginning of 2019.

Depending on the configuration, two worthy options have been prepared for the new models:

a 130-hp hybrid unit that combines the power of a 1.5-liter gasoline engine. and economical electric motors.
gasoline 200-horsepower 2-liter unit;
economical TDI, with a volume of 2.0 liters and a power of up to 190 hp.

In the future, the declared line should be expanded with a sports turbocharged engine developing torque up to 380 Nm and power up to 292 hp.

The transmission line includes:

6-speed mechanics;
6 and 7 range dual clutch robot.

An all-electric version is also expected. The manufacturer claims that such a car will be able to drive a record 600 km without recharging. Whether this can be judged when the new Skoda Octavia comes out and the owners show their first test drives (just wait until the beginning of 2019).

The technical equipment is also impressive. The options already available in the arsenal of Skoda cars will be added:

all-wheel drive, which will be based on a reliable Haldex clutch;
a complete package of active safety systems;
intelligent cruise control;
3rd generation autopilot;
systems of intelligent electronic driver assistants.

A more complete list of innovations that will be available in the basic version or as additional options, the manufacturer will announce after the official presentation of the model.

Price and start of sales

The premiere of the Skoda Octavia is expected in the near future, but the start of sales is scheduled for early 2019.

Experts agree that the price of the basic version of the flagship Skoda model will start at 22-23 thousand euros.

In anticipation of the premiere of the novelty, we offer you to watch the presentation of the model, which you can buy already in 2018:

S koda is going to sell more than 2 million vehicles in 12 months already in 2022. She will hardly be able to achieve such results without expanding the model range, so now is the time to talk about possible novelties of the Czech company.

3 new SUVs from Skoda

To date, the most active development of the automotive market is observed in the SUV segment. Skoda has only so far, but in the very near future it is going to correct this omission and present new crossovers to the public. The media contains information about three possible SUVs from a Czech company at once.

Already at the end of this year, Skoda should show the concept of a 7-seater crossover, which so far does not have an official name and is referred to in the press. A car based on the second generation Volkswagen Tiguan should go into production in 2016. It will be produced at the plant in Kvasiny, like its "brother" in the concern - a similar SUV from Seat. Given the popularity of crossovers in our country, Skoda will certainly bring Snowman and to us.

Skoda Yeti promise to update in 2017

Another new crossover in the lineup will be the "younger brother" Yeti - a compact car with a wheelbase of about 4.2 meters. In the press, he is known under the unofficial name Polar. Recently, information slipped in the media that it could be used as the basis for this SUV. The model will appear, presumably by 2018.

And, finally, the third SUV novelty from Skoda should be Yeti second generation. The car has been on the market for quite some time and needs a major update, which should take place as early as 2017. The new generation of the crossover will be built on the MQB platform, and its wheelbase will be about 4.35 meters long. Josef Kaban promised that the updated Yeti will have an expressive design, thanks to which it will not be confused with Audi, Seat and Volkswagen cars on the same platform. At the same time, many elements of the crossover design will still be unified with the "brothers" in the concern, so as not to increase the cost of its production.

Skoda Snowman Coupe - Czech version of the BMW X6

One of the interesting novelties of Skoda in the near future may also be Snowman in Coupe version- Czech analogue of the BMW X6. The car may enter the market in 2019.

Skoda may have its own version of the BMW X6

However, the fate of this model has not yet been fully determined - everything will depend on the development of the crossover market. If in the next two years Skoda receives a forecast for the sale of such a car with a circulation of 20,000 - 30,000 copies per year, then the project will be given a green light.

New Generation Citigo

The smallest Skoda car - Citigo- will be updated in 2018 - 2019. The miniature model will still have a lot in common with the Volkswagen Up! and Seat Mii, but in terms of design it will become much more original than the first generation.

After the generation change, Citigo will receive an all-electric version. The electric car will have an engine with a capacity of 60 horsepower, on a full charge it will be able to cover a distance of 150 to 200 kilometers.

New generations of Rapid and Octavia

Rapid And Octavia today - the best-selling Skoda cars. The Czech company is unlikely to think about changing their generations until 2020. At the same time, restyling and expansion of modifications is a very real prospect for these models. So, there are rumors that the Octavia may become a 5-door coupe, although this information has not yet been officially confirmed. But Skoda representatives themselves have repeatedly spoken about the expansion of the L&K, Scout and Monte Carlo versions for Rapid and Octavia.

Generational change awaits Octavia and Rapid no earlier than 2020

Successor to Roomster

Already in 2016, Skoda should show a successor roomster. The minivan will essentially be a new car, having little in common with the original car of the Czech company, which, unfortunately, did not receive much popularity. The car is being developed on the basis of the new Volkswagen Caddy, and it will be produced in Poland. In 2018, a hybrid version of the model is also possible.

The Czech automotive Skoda does not stand still, keeps up with the times, and today the developers are involved in the search and implementation of new solutions to upgrade and improve their offspring - the Skoda Octavia.

In 2018, motorists of our country will become the owners of a one-of-a-kind Skoda Octavia car.
