On the road in the Škoda Octavia, as it is most often configured as a company car.

Škoda Octavia Combi: reliability with well thought-out details
In order to get to the bottom of the success of the model that has inherited the long-time king VW Golf, the importer has put the model on our parking lot that is particularly often ordered by local companies as a company car: an Octavia Combi with 150 hp powerful two-liter diesel, front-wheel drive and 7-speed DSG. With the medium style equipment, the bestseller has a starting price of 31,390 euros. The 10-inch radio-nav Columbus (1051.52 euros, the swiveling trailer hitch (939.92 euros) and the Style-Comfort-Simply-Clever package for 2374.60 euros are the biggest chunks that ultimately add up to the total price of 47,559 euros. The online leasing calculator comes to 344 euros per month. The graphite gray Octavia is still far from becoming a luxury truck. And yet there is nothing missing in everyday life: the four-cylinder diesel pulls smoothly and is economical Seats offer enough comfort even for tall occupants and depending on the modes, the Octavia even becomes a bit sporty.
