2024 Skoda Octavia: Design and Interior

Now in its fourth generation, the Octavia facelift will feature a fresh and more aggressive styling, thanks to its new second-generation LED Matrix headlights with aÂ new angular V-shaped daytime driving lights. As seen in the sketches, the updated Octavia will also feature redesigned front bumper, signature butterfly grille with vertical slats, and a new set of wheels. At the back, the brand has given it sharp LED taillights and a reworked bumper. In fact, there will be a new design highlight, called "Crystallinium" â" aÂ unique crystalline element that transmits a blue tone to the interior ofÂ theÂ headlight housing, says Skoda.

Although the design of the Octavia facelift's interior is yet to be revealed, we expect it to boast a revamped dashboard and centre console, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and new upholstery, among others.
