The Škoda Octavia is still available in liftback and station wagon versions. Visual changes are primarily characterised by a redesigned radiator grille, new second-generation Matrix LED headlights, redesigned front and rear bumpers.
The LED taillights with animated turn indicators have also been redesigned. Four equipment lines are available for the updated model: Essence, Selection, Sportline and RS. Nine interior design options are also offered.

As a result of the changes to the bumpers, both body versions have increased in length by 9 mm and are now 4,698 mm. Škoda has modified the lower air intakes and air ducts to the front wheel arch panels. In addition, the designers have matched the sides of the grille to the height of the new main headlights.
The Octavia's colour palette includes three solid colours and seven metallic shades. The bright colour Mamba Green is reserved for the Octavia Sportline and RS. Another attractive colour called Phoenix Orange is only available for the Octavia Combi.

Also from now on, dual-zone Climatronic is included in the base equipment of all Octavia versions.
Later, Škoda will integrate its artificial intelligence-based ChatGPT chatbot Laura digital voice assistant into the Octavia's on-board system.
