Electric Technology Car News: Can Skoda Octavia emerge as a dark horse in the station wagon field, crushing Weiling and competing with Golf?

When we talk about station wagons, we often add keywords such as personality and unique choice. After experiencing the Skoda Octavia Station Wagon, I only have one feeling, that is, practicality, practical space, practical configuration, and suitable positioning. This station wagon from Europe will become one of the good choices for consumers who pay attention to home use.

In terms of appearance, the appearance of the domestic Skoda Octavia Touring Edition is based on the overseas version of SCOUT. Compared with the overseas ordinary tourer, it has an additional black anti-scratch strip and a ground clearance increased by 10mm, which is more suitable for China's road conditions. The front of the Octavia Touring Edition and the new Octavia sedan are more sporty than before, and the new split light group design needs to be adapted. The high-end model of this car is equipped with an adaptive cruise function, and the radar is located in the front grille, which is more integrated.

The front bumper adopts the design of the overseas SCOUT version, which looks more sporty. The split headlights need some time to adapt. The high-end light source is upgraded from xenon to LED, which lights up faster. Compared with Weiling and Golf Travel, it is larger in size, and the overall smooth lines are more like a real station wagon. The rear design of the Octavia Touring Edition is full, although it may look a bit mediocre, but it is very suitable for practical positioning.

In terms of interior, the brown interior style is in line with its positioning. Overall, there is no exaggerated design, and each functional area is very clear. It is worth praising that its center console uses soft materials, which is better than its own SUV Kodiaq. The upper part of the door panel and the place where the arm contacts are made of soft materials, and the middle part is made of hard materials.

After repeated attempts, the steering wheel looks much younger than Skoda's original four-spoke steering wheel, and the leather feels good. The style of the dashboard is very simple, and the middle screen is also monochrome, which looks a bit monotonous. The dashboards on both sides are decorated with green. Although the screen is not large and there is no map function, it has mobile phone interconnection functions like CarPlay, which is convenient to use.

In terms of power, it is expected to be equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T engines, and in the future it will be equipped with a more entry-level 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The gearbox will use a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

The domestically produced Octavia Touring will be officially launched in mid-August. It may not look very eye-catching, but in actual use, it is very practical in all aspects, including space and configuration. Although it has made certain trade-offs compared with imported models, I think most people who buy it are looking at the cost-effectiveness and will not have too high requirements for functions. Even if the differences with the overseas version are added, it is still a top-of-the-line model. This type of purchase demand is not large, and basic functions with good practicality are enough. As for higher configurations and requirements, perhaps it will be necessary to choose and make trade-offs.
