2013 Škoda Octavia Combi

Just a couple of months after the all-new third-generation Octavia hatchback was first unveiled, Škoda has taken the wraps off the Combi version.

This important addition to the range, which will probably be known simply as the Octavia Estate in the UK, offers more cabin space than its predecessor thanks to slightly larger external dimensions. Luggage capacity, for example, is up from 1,665 to 1,740 litres with the rear seats folded down.

Various practical features should make load-carrying fairly painless. These include a folding front passenger seat, a double-sided boot floor mat, restraining nets and a remote fold-down system for the rear-seat backrests.

As with the hatchback, the initial engine line-up is going to consist of four petrol and four diesel options. Škoda has also confirmed that an all-wheel drive model will be available.

The 2013 Škoda Combi is due to make its public debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. UK prices and specifications have yet to be confirmed.
