Small but efficient petrol engine is right choice for driving on city roads

New Skoda Octavia with split front lights and lower bumper has become far more aggressive in looks than old model of the same car. Rear bumper is also redesigned and two exhaust pipes make it more awe inspiring in first glance. Seats have been covered with leather upholstery to match high quality taste of many buyers. Comfort feel is excellent and passengers enjoy while this vehicle moves around corners. Second row with enough knee space has always been welcomed so cabin is reckoned spacious by all standards. One engine with two variants 1.8-Litre TSI and 1.4-Litre. The other is 2.0-Litre diesel engine. The new 1.0-Litre TSI is really good because of figures it has like 115bhp power, reach 62 miles speed in less than 10 seconds, carbon emission just above 100g/km and economy of 62.2 miles per gallon. With such great features, it would be hard to ignore this new model while making a list of top cars.

Under the bonnet powerful Engines

Very efficient six speed gearbox can manage to compete with performance of a diesel engine. Though top speed is 202kmh, but it is not nimble to overtake at most of times. All petrol power plants are turbocharged having three cylinders and five seats. It is well built and with good design attracts good number of people. Boot space is very good to keep you gears while on the move for a weekend plan and keyless entry makes it car of modern era. It appears like a stylish saloon but it is a family hatchback and poses good challenge for the leaders of this class. It is cheaper as well than others and it can be a big advantage over rest of the competitors.

Interior layout is well planned

Light weighted steering is efficient in functioning. The powerful engines of Skoda Octavia ensure good long distance rides as the suspension guarantees comfort for passengers of both rows. Real power lie with diesel like always but for short trips, the earlier mentioned option is quite befitting. Refinement is also enviable for many car makers. Touch screen is rightly placed on dashboards of all models of this car. Good driving position would never take away luxury of reaching basic controls without stretching. It is the leading selling brand of Skoda and over three generation it has evolved into a great achievement for the company.

Safety features are of good quality

Safety features are also vital concern of the buyers and this car is loaded with good quality package of these. Post collision brakes are to minimize the impact. Optional big touch screen would provide a better view but you may get confused due to too many controls present there. It will be good to control things through buttons rather than using the screen. Grey color is dominating in the cabin either it is upholstery or material used to build cabin. Even the roof lining is of lighter in tone but color is same but it would make it look more spacious than it really is.
