Skoda's best-selling car. The name was first used from 1959 on a small rear-wheel-drive sedan and wagon, and revived in 1996 for the first new Skoda designed under Volkswagen ownership. Built on Golf underpinnings but with a much bigger boot, the modern Octavia comes as a liftback and wagon, with the vRS as the fast one.
