Exterior: Visual fine-tuning as well as advanced headlight design and technology

› More dynamic look: redesigned front and rear aprons and updated Škoda grille
› Better lighting output: more powerful second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights with more advanced functionality
› New logos and lettering: in line with the updated Škoda brand identity

Mladá Boleslav, 14 May 2024 – New aprons and a revised Škoda grille lend the Octavia a fresh look. The advanced, second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights with new Crystallinium elements and 36 individual matrix segments deliver even better illumination of the road ahead, while effectively shielding oncoming road users from headlight glare.

“The refreshed look of the Octavia sharpens the character of our best-seller and ensures an even more distinguished product identity. The redesigned front instantly provides an even more dynamic look, thanks to distinctive aprons and sharply drawn, striking headlights. They create a new light signature and contain two LED modules featuring the new Crystallinium element for added effect.”

Oliver Stefani, Head of Škoda Auto Design

The hatchback and estate versions are available in four trim levels – Essence, Selection, Sportline and RS. The Octavia now features redesigned front and rear aprons that increase the overall length of the hatchback and the Combi estate by nine millimetres to 4,698 millimetres. The revised lower air intakes, Air Curtains and transitions to the front wheel arches on the front apron lend the car a more dynamic look. Moreover, the designers have adjusted the sides of the Škoda grille to match the height of the new headlights.

The basic headlights now use only LED technology as standard. The second-generation LED Matrix beam headlights are available as an option for the Selection and Sportline trim levels. While the outer bi-LED module is used for the low and high beam, the inner module has 36 individual matrix segments in two rows. This makes for even better illumination, while oncoming drivers are shielded even more effectively when the high beam is switched on. Fog lights have been replaced by an all-weather function automatically adapting the light output to the respective weather conditions. The LED rear lights – included as standard – are available in two versions. The basic variant, using only LED sources for all its functions, will come with the Essence and Selection trim levels. The top version also offers an animated Coming/Leaving Home function as well as animated indicators that extend into the tailgate, along with the upper part of the C-shaped light cluster. This version will be included as standard with the Sportline and RS models but will also be available as an option for Selection.

New additions to the range of wheels – always made of alloy (except for the entry-level Essence model) – include aerodynamically optimised silver 16-inch Matar wheels, which come as standard with the Selection trim level. New black, glossy machined 17‑inch Slagard aero wheels are available for the Octavia Sportline. Further new options include the 18‑inch Lerna and the RS-specific 19-inch Elias wheels in glossy machined silver or anthracite with black Aero trims. The Octavia’s colour palette comprises three solid colours and seven metallic finishes. Mamba Green is exclusive to the Sportline and RS models. Phoenix Orange is only available on the Octavia Combi.
