ŠKODA LIFTS THE VEIL ON THE ALL-NEW OCTAVIA

The OCTAVIA’s history now stretches back for a good 60 years, in which time more than 6.5 million units have hit the road.

The first ŠKODA OCTAVIAs saw the light of day in January 1959. “Octavia”, meaning eighth in Latin, signified not only that this was the marque’s eighth model since the Second World War, but was also emblematic of the fact that this was the eighth ŠKODA in the evolutionary line to feature the independent suspension the manufacturer had introduced in 1933.
