ŠKODA has revealed the latest addition to its critically acclaimed GreenLine fleet of environmentally advanced cars – the Octavia Hatch GreenLine III.

Milton Keynes, 24th January 2014 - Powered by an ultra-efficient 1.6-litre TDI CR 110PS diesel engine, the resulting performance figures are impressive. Combined Cycle fuel consumption is as high as 88.3mpg† while CO2 emissions are just 85g/km.

ŠKODA’s GreenLine models are hugely popular with company car drivers and the new Octavia will be no exception. A BiK rating of 13% for 2014 and VED Band A status means running costs will be kept to an absolute minimum.

Like every third-generation Octavia, the GreenLine model comes with classic-yet-contemporary looks and a host of ‘Simply Clever’ solutions. But it’s also packed with eco-technologies, including low rolling resistance tyres fitted to 16-inch ‘Velorum’ alloy wheels, which are unique for the GreenLine model. These are inflated to a higher pressure than normal tyres to reduce friction with the road.

The new car also features the Start-Stop system which is standard across the Octavia range, automatically switching off the engine when the car is paused, for example, at traffic lights. In addition, energy normally lost during braking is recovered and used for battery recharging.

The new model benefits from cornering front fog lights as standard. GreenLine badging on the front grille and rear hatchback mark the car out from the crowd, while inside there is a GreenLine logo on the gearstick.

The ŠKODA Octavia GreenLine III is on sale now priced at £20,150 OTR.

The Jumbo box (standard on the Elegance trim) is a practical storage compartment located in the adjustable armrest between the front seats, and is easily accessible for both the driver and the front passenger.

The four-cylinder 1.6 TDI CR DPF 105PS engine, equipped with the diesel particulate filter is the heart of the GreenLine model. The engine fulfils the EU 5 emission standards.

Further measures include the brake energy recovery, Start-Stop system and low rolling resistance tyres with higher recommended pressure.

Effective aerodynamics and gear change recommendation also help achieving low emissions and fuel consumption. Another way to significantly improve the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle is covered undercarriage, enhancing the air flow under the vehicle. These environmentally friendly models are distinguished by the GreenLine badge on the radiator grille and tailgate.

We’re only six days into the new year but ŠKODA has already picked up its first award.

Milton Keynes, 3rd January 2014 – The honour goes to the Octavia Estate, which has won the ‘Best Estate’ category at the annual Car of the Year awards from respected consumer motoring website CarBuyer.

Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief for CarBuyer, commented: “When it comes to space per pound, the ŠKODA Octavia Estate offers sensational value for money. It’s hugely practical for loads of any size, while there’s plenty of space inside for five big people, too. But from the driver’s seat, you can forget about whatever’s behind you – it’s great to drive with the quality and efficiency you’d expect from a ŠKODA.”

With its unrivalled combination of space, usability, driver appeal, quality and value, the ŠKODA Octavia Estate is the highest-rated Estate on the CarBuyer website.

The CarBuyer awards are now in their third year and ŠKODA has a history of success. Including this latest award for the Octavia Estate, the Czech brand has won six categories. The awards are judged by the website’s expert test team, with the needs of real-world car buyers core to every rating.

Commenting Becky Whitmore, Product Manager for ŠKODA UK, said: “For the Octavia to be the highest rated Estate on the CarBuyer website is a tremendous achievement. It’s been on sale for less than a year, yet its mix of performance, environmental credentials and value for money is obviously striking a chord with customers.”
