The pockets on the rear side of the front-seat backrests are great for storage. But they are a little too big for a small smartphone. The Octavia resolves this with an additional little pocket that is perfect for rear passengers’ phones.

We understand that the road seems much longer if everyone is feeling dry and thirsty. That’s why there’s a special space in the front door panel to store a full 1.5 litre bottle of water. It will sit there safely without getting squashed, ready for when you need it.

As well as the large space to store a water bottle in the front doors, there’s further capacity in the rear doors, too, perfectly designed to hold a 1.5 litre bottle securely while not in use.

The Jumbo Box is a practical storage compartment located in the adjustable armrest between the front seats, and is easily accessible by the driver and the co-driver.
