The Octavia Sportline’s instantly recognisable design will make your heart skip a beat. The car’s most striking features are the metallic black grille surround, the Sportline-specific bumper with metallic black spoiler, the newly designed Sportline badge on the front wings, the metallic black wing mirror covers, and high-gloss black window frame. Now nobody can miss you in their rear-view mirror.

The car’s rear section also impresses with features distinctive for Sportline models, including the black logo and lettering on the tailgate, the Sportline-specific bumper with metallic black diffuser, and the metallic black spoiler on the boot lid. The Octavia Sportline also features exclusively designed wheels up to 19 inches in diameter.

One of the Octavia Sportline’s special features is its Sportline-badged three-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel. All key information is always in your sights thanks to the standard 10” Virtual Cockpit, which comes with several layouts. An optional feature is the head-up display, which projects your current speed, navigation instructions, and other information onto the windscreen. The icing on the cake is the optional 13" Navigation infotainment system, which really makes you in tune with your car.

Another feature specific to the Octavia Sportline is the exclusive interior design, which is dominated by sports seats with integrated head restraints, stainless steel sports pedal covers, black decorative door sill scuff plates, carbon-design strip and black décor on the door panels. What’s more, adapting the sporty interior atmosphere to your liking is easy thanks to the LED ambient lighting.

The Octavia Sportline’s robust yet comfortable sport seats with fixed head restraints are upholstered with grey recycled fabric and artificial leather. You will appreciate these seats whether you are on the way home after a hard day’s work or on a spirited weekend drive.

The Škoda Octavia Sportline offers efficient diesel and petrol four-cylinder engines available in several power outputs, mated to a DSG automatic or manual gearbox, front- or all-wheel drive, and meeting the latest emission standards. Two all-petrol engines, one mild-hybrid variant, and two all-diesel engines are available.

Škoda’s engineers have gone to great lengths to ensure that you find the Octavia Sportline just as fun when you drive round bends. The specific sports chassis features rigid suspension with shorter springs, specific sporty shock absorbers and a ride height 15 mm lower.

The Octavia Sportline is fitted with progressive steering to provide better handling and agility in curves. The progressive steering changes the ratio depending on how far the wheel is turned so that you don’t have to keep shuffling your hands round the steering wheel. This makes it easier to manoeuvre on twisty roads, in city traffic or when parking.

The Octavia Sportline can be fitted with 7-speed automatic transmission. You can switch from standard smooth shifting to the S (Sport) mode, which will wring the maximum from your Octavia Sportline.
