"The new model, which went on sale in early summer with updated specifications and a revised design, impressed the judges with its refinement and attention to detail.
Commenting on the Octavia’s third win in as many years, Carbuyer Editor Paul Barker said: “We love the Škoda Octavia at Carbuyer. It’s always offered a fantastic blend of space, quality and value for families and the latest model is another chip off the old block. Comfort levels in the cabin have reached new heights with the smooth ride and quiet powertrains, while Škoda’s Simply Clever features are still great for making life with an Octavia run even more smoothly.”
