OCTAVIA IN 2017
SHOWING OFF
The reworked OCTAVIA has a more distinctive design, new equipment features and the latest
assistance systems, infotainment and connectivity technology.
The new front with the wide
grille is followed by headlamps
with a crystalline design. The
redesigned bumper has received
a wider vent for air intake with
honeycomb-structure panelling.
Full LED headlamps are available
on request.
CONNECTIVITY AND INFOTAINMENT
ŠKODA Connect offers a wide range of new
mobile services divided into two categories:
Infotainment Online offers information and
entertainment, and Care Connect offers
assistance services and support. For the first
time, Remote Access – a service that will
enable the driver not to lose sight of the car, no
matter where they are – will also be available.

The dashboard
and A/C control
have been slightly
modified.
The new display screens respond to a light touch.
Apart from the standard Swing system, all versions
on request have a glass design. Columbus, the
top navigation infotainment system, comes with a
display of 9.2”, a Wi-Fi hotspot and an LTE module
for high-speed data transfer.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
You can choose from a wide range of assistants. Trailer Assist, Predictive Pedestrian Protection, Blind Spot
Detect and Rear Traffic Alert are newly on offer. The same applies to Crew Protect Assist, which cooperates
with the Front Assist system, equipped with City Emergency Braking. Parking Assistant presents itself at
a new development stage. A brand-new feature is Trailer Assist: With a revolving switch for interior rearview mirror control, the driver can set the angle for reversing with a trailer. Then it is only about opening
the throttle gently, and the system automatically turns the steering wheel into the appropriate position. By
contrast, Manoeuvre Assist can help when reversing without a trailer. Manoeuvre Assist automatically brakes
the vehicle as soon as it has recognised an obstacle behind the car.
