If you use a dash cam to record the traffic in front of you, you will appreciate the optional additional USB-C connector by the rear-view mirror. This means you will have a power source right by the camera and you will avoid those long cables all over the place.

A perfect overview during a drive is provided by the freely programmable Virtual Cockpit, which offers a choice of four display layouts. In the Octavia, the beautiful 10.25” digital display has been given new features. This means you have constant visual access not only to on-board instrument data, but also to the map display, including junction zoom, and the surrounding traffic situation with the 3D driving assist layout.

The Phone Box is a mobile phone storage compartment in the centre console that enables mobile calls even when the signal is weak. The Phone Box can also charge a smartphone that is no more than 160 x 80 mm in size using the Qi wireless standard.

Good news! No more quarrels over USB ports and sockets. The Octavia has them in spades. Two USB-C ports and 230 V socket are prepared for the back seat passengers.
