Based on VW"s new Golf chassis, it gains independent rear suspension and a big boost in crash safety. Ingenlath said that the sharp-edged lines are designed to look "upscale but classless", while prominent shoulders and wide pillars convey a "strong, rich appearance". Unusually, the bonnet lifts up as a V shape, with the front wings fixed in place. An extra 66mm in the wheelbase has transformed legroom in the rear.
Yet the real revolution is the interior. Official shots won"t be released until next month"s Geneva Motor Show, but we"ve already been in the cabin and it is a classy piece of design. The seats are cosseting, the dials clear and stylish, plus there are plenty of convenience features.
The Octavia will arrive in June, with engines including a 75bhp 1.4-litre, a 115bhp 1.6 FSI and a 150bhp 2.0 FSI. There will be two diesels - a 104bhp 1.9-litre and 140bhp 2.0. VW"s new direct shift gearbox will be optional, and an estate and hot models will follow. Prices should start at just under í‚á£11,000.
