Outside we can see there’s a new headlight design, splitting them from the main grille, while grille itself has been given a fiercer, more pointed shape. Sharp edges now perforate the bonnet and wider air intakes finish off its increasingly sporty aesthetic.

An Ingenious Cup-holder

Taking a seat inside and things are feeling fresh here too. A 9.2 inch touchscreen infotainment system now takes centre stage on the dashboard, allowing for seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. A heated steering wheel makes the driving experience more comfortable than ever, an ingenious cup-holder that grips the bottle so it can be opened one handed, and half leather trim as standard finish off the interior upgrades.

Whopping

A wider track than in previous iterations is set to improve handling, while the 2.0TSI turbo petrol engine nets you a whopping 227bhp – and that’s available on all variants. With Dynamic Chassis Control altering suspension with Sport, Normal and Comfort settings, and the XDS+ electronic front differential, you can be sure that unbeatable Octavia drive is has only been refined and improved in this latest model.
