Four Interesting Things to Know About the Skoda Octavia

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 4, NX - Years 2019-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

The Skoda Octavia lives up to its slogan "simply clever". Let’s see how, together with our friendly YouTuber: are we stuck on the road and need to get the high-visibility vest from the boot? No, because Skoda has placed one right under the driver's seat in a dedicated compartment! Lost something in the evening and can’t find it? No worries: the Octavia comes to your aid, as one of the boot lights is removable and becomes a torch you can use to search for what you’ve lost, and it’s also magnetic, sticking to the car body! Third surprise. In the fuel flap, Skoda has included an ice scraper for emergencies. Last little gem. Under the passenger seat, Skoda has also placed an umbrella, complete with a logo!
