Skoda Octavia SE Sport
Skoda has introduce two new feature-rich trim levels of Octavia in UK. Both are based
on the mid-range SE but offer some desirable new equipment to sweeten the deal.
First up is the Octavia
SE Sport, which gets 17-inch alloys, bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime running
lights and taillights, and an interior upgraded with a sporty multi-function
steering wheel, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, standard cruise control and
Amundsen sat-nav with wi-fi.
The SE Technology model replaces the outgoing SE Business model. It packs those same
interior upgrades, plus front and rear parking sensors, rain and light sensors,
a chrome package, and more.
Customers can choose
between the hatchback/sedan and wagon body-styles, manual or dual-clutch
transmissions, and a variety of engines, but should only expect to pay around
£ 1,000 over the price of the standard SE model.
Skoda first introduced the
Octavia in 1996 as its own version of the Volkswagen Jetta. The current
third-generation model arrived in 2013 based on the same MQB platform that
underpins the Golf, Seat Leon and Audi A3.
Of course the vRS
performance model remains our favorite, with its sleeper look and prodigious
performance. But for those who don't need all the muscle, these new trim levels
present compelling options.
