MPG: The 1. 4-liter iV plug-in hybrid variants offer the lowest running prices; the vRS edition is even said to reach over two hundred mpg. Be careful, though, as it’s hard to reach this figure in the real world. The less rugged of the two 2. 0-liter diesel engines is the more economical, averaging 67. 3 mpg. The 110bhp 1. 0-litre petrol unit is also an economical option for those who make many shorter trips, with an official average fuel consumption. 53. 3 mpg.
Road tax: Owners of petrol-powered Octavia family vehicles will have to pay £180 per year under current road tax rules, while hybrid cars are subject to a tax of £170 per year.
Servicing and insurance: Insurance groups are generally low, meaning the Skoda Octavia should be cheap to insure. In terms of servicing, if your example is less than 12 months old, you’ll receive your first two services for a fixed price throughout the duration of the plan: 24 monthly payments of £16.50 or you can pay in full for £396.
For cars between 1 and 15 years old, you can pay £420 upfront or spread the charge from just £17. 50 per month over 24 months.
Engine
We love the smoothness and refinement of the petrol 1.5 TSI 150. It also offers a really good compromise between performance and economy.
Trim
And in terms of finishes, it will be satisfying to have almost all versions of the Octavia, but we particularly like the SE generation for its add-on kit to the SE.

Cheaper versions of the Skoda Octavia estates count the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer among its rivals; it’s a ubiquitous but pleasant car that’s good to drive and comes with a practical interior. Entry-level versions can be a bit sparse and the diesel engines can be gruff. On top of that, the low-speed ride is a little firm.
The Ford Focus Estate is fun to drive, with a sleek and quiet Ecoboost engine in some trims and low running costs. However, some competitors are cheaper and the Octavia offers more area and more equipment, while still feeling better made.
The previous-generation VW Golf Estate is worth considering, although it has been replaced by the latest VW Golf, which shares its underpinnings with the current Octavia estate. VW’s model is a slightly less capacious car, but it’s brilliant to drive, well equipped, refined and comparatively cheap to run. On the other hand, it’s not as roomy inside as the Octavia and the interior is a little dreary.
