The brand’s best-selling 4×4 pioneer is also available in its fourth generation as a saloon and estate with a host of trim levels. In the Ambition and Style lines, the 4×4 powertrain is available in combination with the 110 kW (150 hp) 2.0 TDI, while the Octavia Sportline and the Octavia Scout, which is only available as an estate, also offer the 2.0 TSI with a 140 kW (190 hp) output. Another engine available for the Octavia Scout is the 2.0 TDI with an output of 147 kW (200 hp) that Škoda also installs in the sporty Octavia RS. The Octavia comes equipped with a sixth-generation electronic multi-plate clutch. Weighing around 0.8 kilograms less than its predecessor, it has optimised efficiency, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Its integrated control unit also ensures faster response times. With its ground clearance increased by 15 millimetres to a total of 163 millimetres, the Octavia Scout also comes with a rough-road package, including underride protection on the rear axle. As standard, this variant includes the Off-road driving mode, which fine-tunes the settings of the stability systems, such as ABS, ASR and ESC, to off-road driving. The accelerator pedal then has a flatter characteristic curve, the 7-speed DSG shifts at higher revs and the Proactive Occupant Protection tightening of the seat belts is deactivated. Adapted ambient lighting and Hill Descent Control also come as standard. The towing capacity of an all-wheel drive Octavia is up to 2,000 kilograms for diesel models. In 2022, Škoda produced 14,463 Octavias with all-wheel drive.
