Front Assist with City Emergency Brake

A car that senses danger ahead? Now that’s clever. Front Assist with City Emergency Brake and Predictive Pedestrian/Cyclist Protection◊ uses a radar sensor to monitor the risks in front of you, alert you of any hazards, and will even brake on its own to help avoid a collision.

Side Assist – Blind Spot Detection

The OCTAVIA sees things you don’t. Side Assist (Blind Spot Detection)◊ helps you change lanes safely by letting you know when a vehicle is in your blind spot. If so, an LED in the side mirror will light up, and start flashing once you indicate.

Lane Assist

To veer is human. Lane Assist◊ uses a camera positioned within the rear-view mirror unit to actively recognise lane markings and, if you begin to stray, take corrective action to gently steer you back on course. It will also send audible and visual messages if you need to take additional action.

Emergency Assist

Emergency Assist◊ reduces the risk of an incident in the event of the driver’s sudden health collapse, by safely stopping the car and turning on the warning lights.

Front and Rear Parking Sensors

It’s always a good idea to build in a little buffer. The surround parking sensors◊ complement Park Assist◊ and work together with the infotainment system to ensure a safe and smooth park.

Fatigue Detection

Our engineers have developed a hands-on approach to help identify driver fatigue. Fatigue Detection◊ monitors your movement through the steering wheel. If it senses signs of fatigue, it triggers an audible and visual warning alerting you that you need to stop and rest.

Eight Airbags

We hope you never need the eight airbags in your OCTAVIA. Located at the front, front side, curtain and driver’s knee area, they help protect you and your loved ones in the event of a collision

Adaptive Cruise Control

Just when you thought cruise control couldn’t get any smarter. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)◊ features a radar sensor on the front grille, allowing it to automatically brake and accelerate to a speed and distance set by you. Did we mention it comes standard?

Virtual Cockpit

All that important information, which used to be shown on your dashboard gauges, is now brought to life in a dynamic digital display. This driving data includes, speed and fuel readouts – along with more contemporary features, like driver assist and navigation tools.

Head-Up Display

The OCTAVIA’s head-up display shows driving data in such a way that the driver’s eyes don’t have to refocus, thereby significantly reducing the possibility of distraction. Disclaimer – Available in optional Premium Pack Overseas model shown.

Electric Tailgate

Loading has never been easier. Open and close your boot simply at the mere touch of a button on the remote, especially handy in unfavourable weather or your hands are tied with loads of shopping.

KESSY – Advanced Keyless Entry including Smart Start

A car that gets the door for you? Now that’s service. KESSY can be added so you can lock and unlock your car, and start and stop the engine without having to insert or even handle the key.

Automatic Parking Assist

Parking doesn’t get any easier than this. With a press of a button, Automatic Parking Assist◊ will begin searching for a parking space in a line of cars or other obstacles. When found, the car will steer itself into the space while you simply control the pedals. How’s that for assistance?

Traffic Jam Assist

By controlling the engine, brakes, and steering, Traffic Jam Assist makes the vehicle pull away, brake, and turn to copy the movement of the surrounding vehicles (at speeds of up to 60 km/h). If lanes are not detected at speeds of up to 30 km/h, or only one lane (line) is detected at speeds of up to 60 km/h, the Follow Drive system follows the trajectory of the vehicle in front of you until lane markings are available again.

Adaptive Chassis Control

As you get to know your OCTAVIA, it gets to know you too. Adaptive Chassis Control continuously evaluates and responds to various driving situations, adapting to decreases in speed and varying steering characteristics across four driving modes – Normal, Sport, Eco and Individual. Disclaimer – Available in optional RS Premium Pack.

Virtual Pedal

We’ve turned the boot door into a heads-free device. The Virtual Pedal lets you open and close the boot simply by kicking your foot underneath the rear bumper – convenient for when your hands are tied with loads of shopping. Available in optional RS Premium Pack

Electric Parking Brake

The new OCTAVIA is fitted with an electric parking brake (as standard across all car versions) that has replaced the usual mechanical handbrake. The electric parking brake acts on the rear wheels and can be manually activated/deactivated by the button located on the centre console between the front seats.

Ambient Lighting

Experience ultimate comfort thanks to the interior lights. LED ambient lighting, which can offer you many amazing colour options, includes lights running along the inside of the car, foot area illumination front and rear, door handle lighting front and rear, and luggage compartment lighting.

Luggage Space

We’ve packed a lot of clever features into the OCTAVIA wagon, but still left plenty of room for your luggage, 640 litres worth in fact, which can be extended to 1,700 litres by folding the rear seats.
