Car A

Skoda Octavia IV

With a huge 600-liter boot, five seats, and 6.5 L/100km combined consumption, the Skoda Octavia IV suits growing families and city commutes at good value in its segment. The petrol FWD setup delivers brisk performance (245 hp, 6.7 s 0–100 km/h) but isn’t aimed at premium or winter-focused buyers.
