New Skoda Octavia Estate 1.5 TSI 150 e-TEC Sportline 5dr DSG Review
Category: Estate car
Section: Version review
The Skoda Octavia Estate offers a vast boot considering its size and generous space for occupants but it's far more than just a big box on wheels. The relatively plush interior, generally cosseting ride and frugal engines make it a fantastic car for covering big distances in, especially if you stick to our favourite 1.5 TSI 150 engine and SE L trim.
The trim
