Driving Report: Skoda Octavia Combi 1.4 IV - Kicker

How he looks: Conservative, and we say very well. Conservative means in the case of the Octavia Combi, namely that he dispensed with any optical gimmicks and dresses in the factual clarity, made of classless cars. The close relationship to the VW Golf VIII, Seat Leon and Audi A3, which is based on the common modular transit box (MQB), barely visible. With stately 4.69 meters in length, the Octavia Combi itself exceeds the Golf Variant still around twelve centimeters, and at all, he does not even look like compact model, but by mid-range and thus much more car.

How to set up: Again factual and clear, but at the same time of precise quality of workmanship and with a high-quality material mix, which in the case of our test car made of fine fabric, piano varnish, chrome, leather (for the comfortable sitting furniture) and plastic of the Composed upscale variety. The vocabulary "premium" did not seem to us inappropriate for this ambience.

The digital architecture moves a 10.2-inch driver display into the field of view, which can be configured via controls on the steering wheel. Not only for the infotainment is a ten-inch, freestanding touchscreen responsible. Although the Octavia provides some direct buttons, but the fine tuning of air conditioning, seat heating or seat ventilation takes place via screen. Unfortunately, as we find, because that is a rather cumbersome affair. In general, we have attracted something with the patient, with which the multimedia system starts up.

View into the cockpit: digital driver display, large touchscreen, mini-shifter for automatic. manufacturer

The operation of the panoramic roof, the sunscreen rollo and the volume serve so-called "slider". Practical: The Smartphone Holder (Transport Package, 210 Euro) in the rear, which can be applied to a corresponding device below the headrest and we, together with a ceiling, have been stowed away in a felt pocket attached to the rear seat back. Two USB-C jacks supply the power required for the entertainment program. Further useful detail: The small, removable container in the center console, where in addition to shopping cart chips also the vehicle key can be stowed clean.

How much space he has: The paraded discipline of the Octavia Combi, always contributed to his success. It does not need to be mentioned that drivers and passenger will not need to be mentioned, but also in the rear dominate dimensions prevail, which open three passengers a long-distance convenient carpooling.

SKODA also designed the trunk, which is optionally accessible via a sensor-controlled electric tailgate. Quite as big as in conventionally powered Combi, it does not fall out at the plug-in hybrid, but instead of 640 to 1700 liters he swallows only 490 to 1555 liters away. There is a compartment under the trunk floor where the charging cables find their place. And very practically we found the turning mat (also part of the transport packet), which has a washable rubberized surface on the back.

What drives it: As plug-in hybrid "IV", the Octavia Combi tenses a 110 kW / 150 hp 1,4-l-turbo tray ziner and an electric motor with 85 kW / 115 hp, overall, there are one System performance of 150 kW / 204 hp and system torque of 350 Newton meters. A six-speed dual-clutch transmission transfers the drive forces to the front axle, to switch it is via a chic "shifter" or switching rockers on the steering wheel.

Added: The charging socket sits on the front left.

The energy storage is a lithium-ion battery of 13 kWh gross capacity.

As he drives: If the battery has still reserves, the IV-Octavia starts in electro mode. Quickly we have treasured this e-fashion, not only the elegant-electric and - except for the pedestrian warning tone - noiseless type of progress, but also because the effortless acceleration is easy to joy.

The hybrid mode must be activated above the touchscreen before driving. But even then the Octavia often uses its electrical possibilities; The transitions between the two drive worlds are soft and discreet. Intermediate track spices the electric motor with a pinch of extra boost, so makes plug-in driving fun.

When the batteries are empty and the four-cylinder is required argely, he reminds quite unequivocally to his comparatively modest 1.4 liter displacement. Throttish, he acts and no longer too cultured, reasonably loud he will also be, which may not be particularly attracted in memory of the noiseless approach.

Technically, the Octavia IV is a comfortable car, which probably neglects his passengers he does not, gently feathers, and leaves a good impression in terms of roll-off behavior.

Again, the four driving modes Eco, normal, sports and individual are to be selected via the touchscreen. The perfectly functioning (in packages combined) driving assistants such as the adaptive tempo or the automatic parking. The traffic sign recognition in our test car was only card and not camera-based, an attentive eye on the signage is advisable here.

ŠKODA OCTAVIA iV: FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE

How far he comes electrically: Skoda indicates a WLTP range of 52 to 69 kilometers. In the case of a moderate driving, we actually managed 65 kilometers who mainly invites and disciplined the usual commuter level as a daily pensum, rarely leaves with fuel. However, the tank contents are reduced by IV from 45 to 39.5 liters.

Practical: The electric normal range of up to 69 kilometers can be reached approximately. manufacturer

As he loads: single-phase and on the wallbox with up to 3.6 kW, after three and a half hours the battery is fully charged again. At the household socket (2.6 kW), the procedure extends to six hours. High-speed shop is not possible, but also only the least plug-in hybrid.

What he consumes: over the entire test period, in a mix of much purely electric short distance, "hybrid" tours and two long-distance rides covered in combustion mode via the highway, the on-board computer calculated us a long-term value of 3.7 l / 100 km fuel and 7 kWh electricity. If that's true, it's all honors. In fact, the Octavia Combi IV proved to be a sparing vehicle. In the case of a highway guidelectric speed he also left it with empty battery at 6.4 l / 100 km, only when we came to the gas, the fuel consumption rose over seven liters.

What he offers: The Octavia Combi IV can be ordered in the equipment variants "Ambition" and "Style". The standard scope of delivery in "Ambition" include two-zone cimbo automation, the virtual cockpit, the music system "bolero", driving profile selection, lane support assistant, electrically foldable exterior mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels.

What he costs: from 37,640 euros. Of this, the environmental premium of € 7177.50 may be subtracted in gross, company car drivers benefit from the tax rate of 0.5 percent regime.

What we mean: As with all plug-in hybrids (PHEV), in the case of the Skoda Octavia Combi IV, the question of the meaningfulness must be answered with a review of the driving habits. If you only occasionally go to the highway, lots of short route and invites you disciplined, a rather rare guest will be on the gas station in the face of the practical electricity range. Long-haul drivers are still better served with a diesel. Basically, the Octavia-Phev works well gratifying economical, and the spacious space offered him the ideal family combination.
