The advanced keyless entry function automatically unlocks the new Octavia when you approach it with the key and automatically locks it when you move away from the car.

A perfect overview is provided by the freely programmable Virtual Cockpit, which offers a choice of several display layouts. On-board instrument data along with other information, such as navigation, media playback and phone, are displayed on a beautiful 10" screen.

The new Octavia's tailgate can be optionally operated by pressing a button from the driver's seat, with the remote-controlled key, or by pressing a button on the tailgate. The electric tailgate comes with Virtual Pedal, an additional function for touchless tailgate opening/closing.

If you use a dash cam to record the traffic in front of you, you will appreciate the additional USB-C connector by the rear-view mirror. This means you will have a power source right by the camera and you will avoid those long cables all over the place.
