The model

Read full review

First and foremost, the Skoda Octavia offers generous space for occupants and a massive boot that dwarfs most competitors from the class above. It's far more than just a big box on wheels, though; its plush interior, cosseting ride and frugal engines make it a fantastic car for covering big distances in.

The trim

See full equipment

SE Technology trim offers the best value for money, costing barely any more than SE First Edition trim despite gaining voice control, floor mats and more distinctive alloy wheels, plus the front parking sensors and an infotainment upgrade.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 1.5-litre petrol is worth considering over the 150 diesel as it's similarly quick and a lot cheaper. The only caveat is that you need to work it a bit harder than the oil-burner.
