The Octavia Combi has a compartment in both front doors, including an umbrella or hand brush in the driver’s door, in case you get caught in the rain or want to give the car a sweep. The compartment is water-resistant so wet umbrellas can be stored here and the water from the umbrellas is drained outside the car. Both features are also optionally available for the second compartment.

All diesel engines require the additional injection of AdBlue®, which results in the car producing much fewer harmful emissions. You can top it up easily by using the filler neck right next to the fuel tank’s normal neck. A new development in the Octavia Combi is that you are not limited to the AdBlue® pumps for cars, as it can now accommodate a fuel nozzle for lorries. As a result, you always have the assurance that you will be able to refuel with ease at any service station.

Using the mechanical rear-door child safety lock requires foresight when you’re sometimes in the car with children, other times with adults. You can activate and deactivate the rear-door locks electronically from the driver’s seat whenever you need to.

If you’re looking for protection from the sun’s rays or peace and quiet for your work, retractable sun blinds – completely hidden away when not in use – can be simply pulled up to protect the interior.
