The SKODA OCTAVIA ESTATE (2017-20) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDI DPFR SS 150 EU6 SE TECHNOLOGY 6SPD is a practical, mid-sized family estate: roomier and more versatile than a typical hatchback, without the bulk of an SUV. It sits among the UK’s popular sensible, value-focused family cars. Its 2.0-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit regular commuting, motorway journeys and family holidays, while the estate boot handles pushchairs, pets and bulky shopping. The SE Technology trim adds everyday equipment. It is best for families or high-mileage drivers wanting comfort, space and good fuel economy; compared with a Ford Focus Estate or Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer, the Octavia is especially known for generous room and practicality.
