What is it?

Facelifted version of Skoda’s brilliant Octavia. New model answers criticisms of the outgoing car’s bland looks with a fresh grille styled like the bigger Skoda Superb, while there’s a new centre console inside. Best news is the VW Group’s 122bhp 1.4-litre turbo petrol is now available. Tested here in Elegance trim.

What’s hot?

  • That turbo engine…
  • …Seamless power delivery means it just feels like a larger unit
