General description

With a price of 18,070 euros at the time, this vehicle offered a balanced proposal for those looking for space, efficiency and the recognized solidity of the Czech brand.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Octavia Combi, the feeling is one of poise and comfort. Its 1.2 TSI engine, despite its modest displacement, delivers 105 hp and a torque of 175 Nm from low revolutions (1550 rpm), which translates into an agile response for everyday use and an acceleration capacity from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds. The top speed of 191 km/h is more than enough for long journeys. The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control and contributes to a combined consumption of 5.7 l/100km, a very reasonable figure for a family car of its size. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, offering a smooth and pleasant ride for all occupants.
Design and aesthetics
The design of this generation of the Skoda Octavia Combi is sober and functional, with clean lines that prioritize practicality. Its 5-door, 5-seater family body stands out for its generous 580-liter trunk, an exceptional figure that makes it a perfect ally for families or for those who need a large load capacity. Its dimensions of 4569 mm long, 1769 mm wide and 1468 mm high give it a robust and balanced presence on the road. The 16-inch wheels with 205/55 R16 tires complement its understated aesthetic.
Technology and features
In the technological section, the Octavia Combi Ambition 1.2 TSI incorporated practical solutions for its time. Its 1.2 TSI engine with direct injection, turbo and intercooler, with aluminum block and cylinder head, was an example of efficiency and performance. The electric power steering offered comfortable and precise maneuverability. Although it did not have the latest connectivity innovations of today, its equipment was focused on functionality and safety, with ventilated disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear, and stabilizers on both axles for greater stability in curves.
Competition
In its segment, the Skoda Octavia Combi faced tough competitors such as the Volkswagen Golf Variant, the Ford Focus Sportbreak, the Opel Astra Sports Tourer or the Renault Mégane Grand Tour. Its main asset against them was the excellent value for money, its huge trunk and the mechanical reliability that has always characterized Skoda, backed by Volkswagen Group technology.
Conclusion
The Skoda Octavia Combi Ambition 1.2 TSI with 105 hp was a very competent family car, offering a perfect balance between space, comfort, efficiency and an adjusted price. Its timeless design and reliable mechanics made it a very sensible option for those looking for a practical and durable vehicle.
