ŠKODA OCTAVIA ESTATE

TOW CARS QUICK TEST

QUICK TEST

*includes wing mirrors

What's new?

Škoda updated the Octavia a while back, with new looks and a revised cabin, better materials and extra high-tech equipment. As before, customers have the choice of hatchback and estate models, and it's the 2.0-litre diesel estate that we're testing here.

What are we looking for?

Have the changes improved the Octavia? Is this still one of the best family estates for caravanners to consider?

Towing ability

Škoda quotes a range of kerbweights for the Octavia. Including the driver, this model has a kerbweight of 1477-1672kg, depending on the exact specification.
