Although I am already familiar with the oversized hatchback compartment of the Skoda sedan, I have to say that every time I open this hatchback tailgate, there is a subtle sense of superiority, perhaps this is the psychological effect of "I have you nothing".
A few years ago, only Skoda may have adopted a hatchback design in this class, but today more and more models have seen the advantages of the hatchback and have begun to follow suit. However, I always think that Skoda is a representative of the development of the hatchback design, after all, the speed and Octavia, as well as overseas Xinrui have always adopted such a design, the replacement of the model can not move. Compared with the traditional sedan design, the most intuitive thing about the hatchback is the huge opening, although it does not increase the internal space, but the significantly expanded opening can greatly improve the practicality, especially when the rear seats are reclined and the advantages of loading large items are obvious. As a family car, especially a car, the hatchback is actually the best solution for practicality.
What's more, the hatchback design also brings about a change in the style of the whole vehicle. From the side, the rear of the Octavia PRO is shorter than the regular sedan and the visual effect is more dynamic. For consumers who have a demand for large space, but also do not want SUVs and want cars, octavia PRO is the most balanced performance in the same level.
The powertrain part, the combination of 1.4T+ 7-speed dual clutch, is familiar but has to be said. 150P horsepower and 250N·m of torque can bring a very neutral power output, it will not give you a very strong feeling of fast, but it is definitely not slow.
D block it is a comfortable look, many years ago the double clutch of the kind of bumps and breakouts have been optimized almost can not feel, with the throttle of the deep pedaling of the whole vehicle power is very linear and natural, unlike those large displacement turbines will have a kick feeling.
Driving mode adjusted to the movement, this time the engine speed will be about four or five hundred rpm higher, the gear will be lower than the D gear will be one to two gears, the engine most of the time work in the best torque output range, at this time the throttle response, acceleration and explosive force will be more obvious, this time can clearly feel the efficiency of the dual clutch, driving feeling a lot lighter.
In addition to standard and sporty, the Octavia PRO offers personalized and economical driving modes. The release of the throttle in economic mode will be much lazier, and even if you step on a little deeper power, it is a slow release feeling. The biggest difference is that in the economic mode it has an additional "taxi mode", after releasing the throttle, you can see that the meter will show the taxi mode, at this time the clutch between the engine and the gearbox is actually disconnected, and it can glide far away when the road conditions allow it to achieve the purpose of fuel saving.
Speaking of fuel saving, this set of powertrains has been very mature, the basic displacement of 1.4T is not large, the dual-clutch transmission efficiency is extremely high, even if it is your full sports mode, its fuel consumption is not high, most of the daily commuting is maintained at the level of 7-8L, combined with the traffic conditions in first-tier cities and today's oil prices, this achievement has been excellent.
If it is a highway, the fuel consumption of this powertrain in the cruising state can even be as low as 4-5L per 100 kilometers, and don't forget that its 100 km acceleration performance can also achieve the level of early 8 seconds, and truly achieve both power and fuel consumption.
Regarding its chassis, this generation of Octavia PRO series has returned to four-wheel independent suspension, the structure of the front McPherson rear multi-link is very common, but thanks to the high versatility of the hardware under the MQB platform, the chassis texture of the Octavia and the higher level of the platform of the Parsat and other models are a lot of similar feelings.
Comfort and vibration filtering ability is very popular, that is, the "sense of high-grade" that ordinary consumers can easily feel, and the sound insulation and noise reduction are also very good. Whether at low speed or high speed, wind noise and engine noise can be isolated from the car when the doors and windows are closed.
Every Skoda car from a few years ago was actually good, but it always felt like something was missing. The replacement of Octavia PRO this time can be said to make up for what was not there before. Everyone thinks that the previous generation of Octavia is a bit moderate, that's good, this time directly brought the appearance of the overseas RS version, and the value of the face value was first pulled full. The latest MQB Evo platform has also brought it a lot of the latest technology, the price of the top model is about 150,000 after the discount, and the cost performance is still online.
Some people will say that saying that so much is all good, is there not a little deficiency? In fact, it is really difficult, after years of iteration and evolution, now most of the products have actually understood the needs of consumers. In the Octavia PRO, you can actually find the answer to each of the reasons for your choice: spacious space, rich configuration, fine workmanship, good driving quality, balanced power fuel consumption, safety configuration and complete, in addition, it also makes up for the shortcomings of the previous Skoda models.
So, now, looking at the competitors at the same price as it, you will find that it is really a "treasure" type player, and extreme balance is the performance of "all-round".
