If you habitually spend hours at the wheel, you know full well how difficult it can be to keep constant watch of signs, drive in heavy traffic or creep along if there is a tailback. The new Octavia’s Travel Assist can help out. When this feature is activated, the car can adjust its speed according to the surrounding traffic and the speed limit, keep the car in lane, and stop and start in a traffic jam. Travel Assist also features Assisted Lane Change, enabling the car to autonomously perform lane changes on motorway-type roads at speeds above 90 km/h when instructed to do so by the driver.

Indulge in upmarket comfort in a family car. The AGR-certified front seats offer ventilation, massage, and adjustable cushion length. The driver, front passenger, and rear passengers can all set their own preferred temperatures with the Climatronic three-zone air-conditioning. The Dynamic Chassis Control with adjustable shock absorbers will ensure that travelling is comfortable whatever the circumstances.

From front to back, the all-new Octavia is crammed with Simply Clever gadgets to make your life more pleasant every day. Hands full? Open the boot with the Virtual Pedal by making a kicking motion under the rear bumper. Keys at the bottom of your bag? Pull any door handle to unlock the car with the keyless KESSY system.
