2013 Skoda Octavia pictures

The Skoda Octavia Estate is an award winning car that's superb for family buyers.

Based on the same platform as the VW Golf and Seat Leon, the Skoda Octavia embarrasses them with its cavernous proportions.

The estate bodystyle looks more handsome than its hatchback brother.

The interior isn't particularly interesting, but it's beautifully made.

The 'C' shape in the tail lights is a Skoda design feature.

The manual gearbox is the one to go for, as the Octavia gets a more dated DSG automatic than its VW cousins.

The space in the Skoda Octavia is much larger than its class competitors, in fact, it can be compared to cars in the class above. 

A space behind the rear seats to store the parcel shelf is a great piece of design.

The Octavia has a generous and practical boot and has been provided with nets all around to hold items in place.
