Skoda Octavia gets new SE Sport and SE Technology models
New Skoda Octavia SE Sport and SE Technology add more kit and better value to popular family car range

The Skoda Octavia SE Sport is an all-new model available as a hatchback or as a more practical Estate. Buyers can choose between the 148bhp 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine or the 108bhp 1.6-litre TDI diesel – both of which can be specified with a manual or DSG automatic gearbox.

Prices start at £19,925 fort he 1.6 TDI hatchback, while the range-topping Estate with the same engine and a DSG automatic gearbox costs £22,395.
