The 2 L petrol engines with 150 and 195 KW use AVS variable valve, lift improved motor management, enhanced the performance, even the high efficient budak cycle engine has increased performance from 140 kW to 150 KW. This engine uses variable timing of the intake valves, switching between budak and auto Cycles. The compression phase is shortened by closing the intake valve earlier.
This leads to less air in the cylinder, thus reducing the compression ratio relative to the expansion ratio and increasing combustion efficiency. The switch to the auto cycle occurs when maximum engine power is needed. The top petrol engine in the octav RS now delivers 195 KW 15 KW more than the previous model. The 2 L TDI engines are now more robust. The absorption Catalyst has been enlarged, which helps capture ammonia more efficiently and making the after treatment system ready for the next emission requirements.

The base engine of the updated Octavia is now the 1.5 TSI from the new evo2 generation of engines known for its outstanding efficiency, lower consumption and the ability to burn Blended fuels with renewable content, for example, ethanol. This engine operates in the efficient Miller cycle and uses a variable geometry turbocharger, offering a better response across the entire RPM range and lower fuel consumption under lower loads. The engine uses a new version of active cylinder deactivation, which is software optimized and works in a wider range of situations.
The engine has optimized cooling, consisting of the redesigned water jacket in the cylinder head and new oil cooling channel in the Piston important for emission reduction. Are the active oil separator and, of course, the new design of the emission after treatment system with separated, but still close. Coupled catalytic converter and particulate filter, the DSG automatic transmission now has an improved shifting system.

There are more control options than ever. We have doubled the wireless phone box charging power to 15 wats to to support more demanding applications. We have also boosted the USBC socket to 45 Watts. The traditional analog instrument cluster has been fully replaced by display technology, offering various views and content. A standout feature of the new model is the second generation LED metrix beam headlights. These not only offer improved performance but but also a distinctive new light signature.
They feature two LED modules highlighted by an Innovative crystallinum element.

All headlights in the series use LED technology as standard the family of driver assistance systems has evolved significantly to enhance safety and driving comfort for all engine variants. We use the well-proven mcferson front axle with lower triangular transverse arms, just like before cars with engines delivering up to and including 110 KW are fitted with the light and compact torsion beam, rear axle, front-wheel drive engines over 110 KW and all engines coupled to the optional Four-Wheel drive come with the multi-link rear axle for excellent control and stability. The new Octavia has a hydraulic dual circuit brake system with an electromechanical booster.

These complement both the classic and aerodynamic wheel options. The new 19in alloe wheel can now be ordered the first time for the Octavia, with a large design aerodynamic cover. We kept the Octavia silhouette, but we created a new front and rear end, giving the car a fresh expression. We have emphasized the width of the car by creating generous surfaces stretching the elements from from side to side. At the bottom, we have created a new mesh which is even integrated into the air curtain. We have connected the grill and the lamps and create a really white mask and we have created a light signature which is embracing the grill exactly. This gave us the chance to design very expressive and unique daytime running light. At the same time, following the typical double light scheme of D Octavia in the rear, the typical c-shaped signature is segmented.
Now our famous rear crystals grow directly from the tail light. Turn indicator is strictly horizontal and creates more slim impression at the back. You will find the new scod lettering. The distinctive bottom element stretches from side to side. All of this makes the whole rear of the new Octavia more sport. With the new Octavia.
