skoda octavia style review Page 3

The Skoda Octavia Style is the quietly competent overachiever—like a librarian who moonlights as a powerlifter. In recent Australian models you’ll find a 1.4‑litre turbo petrol with 110 kW and 250 Nm, an 8‑speed automatic, and front‑wheel drive; it’s more effortless glide than hot-hatch hooligan. Cabin space is huge for the class, the tech is sensible, and it sips fuel sensibly while cruising the Bruce like it owns the right lane (it doesn’t, but you’ll feel it). Downsides? Options can add up, and enthusiasts may crave more fizz than the Style’s calm competence delivers. If you want understated practicality with a dash of Euro neatness, this is your daily hero. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
