What would have really helped is supplying what the mpg is when the battery is depleted ie when you're on a long run, thanks.
With an empty battery the consumption is +2l/100km higher than with battery full.
Great review, thanks!
Pleasure, glad you liked it!
He didn’t mention the biggest flaw: you can’t get hold of them. I love my Octavia and want to replace it with this one. I was told there’s a 52 week lead time and one dealer has been waiting a year and a half for delivery. I couldn’t even find one to test drive.
We can't review the supply chain, but it's a problem that's been affecting all new car sales!
Great review. Just bought a Superb IV - same verdict. Retains manual controls for heating which i prefer. Got as a company car - but personally i prefer the size of the superb. Both great hybrids
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review!
Getting one as a company car.
Great review, thanks
Glad you like the review! And excellent, enjoy - what made you pick it?
@@TotallyEV the styling, and quality
Fair enough!
Have you got it yet?
A very good review but one correction, the car has electronic seats in both front sides. He said it only has that for the driver which is a shame. I just got the car today and it has electronic adjustable seats with memory in both sides 😁👌
Here's what we've got in our written review: "The front seats are manually adjustable - it’s a shame that electric controls aren’t included as standard, although an electrically adjustable driver seat with memory function is available as a £455 option - yet again, you’ll need to add an irrelevant £545 option in order to access this feature."
Are you sure your vehicle isn't fitted with an option that gave you the electric seats? From our understanding and Skoda's brochure, only the driver's seat becomes electric, not both.
Which model do you have exactly?
Glad you also liked the review :)
@@TotallyEV I think that depends on the version and region of Octavia he's getting it from
Indeed!
Hi, great review, although the link for the review of the audio system is broken.
Thank you! Good spot, the review of the audio system will go live on Sunday, at which point the link should work :)
@@TotallyEV Ok, i will wait to view it. I am planning to buy a skoda Octavia VRS but i hesitate between phev and 2.0TSI. PHEV seems to be the logic way for the future but i am a little concerned about reliability for such complicated systems. Do you have feedbacks about that (generally in phev market and specifically with VW group phev motors)
From what we've read online and from previous PHEVs we've reviewed (Audi to VW), we've not seen anyone complain about reliability - so one would hope you'll be fine!

I bought a brand new Skoda Favorite in 1995 on a 2 year VW fininance plan. It was a VW engineered model with Bosch fuel injection and immobilizer - so they must have bought Skoda before 2000.
In 1991 VW acquired its initial 31% stake in Skoda.
@@mccririck01 Makes sense - I also bought a new one in '91("H" reg). It was in a weird turquoise colour - nice though. Completely different car to drive. A lot lighter and a lot quicker No fuel injection, cat converter, or side impact protection etc. It was a lot of fun to drive! VW took all the fun out of that car, but my '95 VW version was at least safe, economical, and a lot less rattlely!
Hur mycket rullar den här bilen på en tanke
Getting 70 mpg all day from my corolla hybrid estate.these will be ok after three years got 40000 miles on and only £15,000 or less.
Nice one!
What is your long term consumption though?
Very informative review. It woud be nice to add kilometer and litre measures together with miles and gallons, to be more understandable to other nationalities.
Glad you enjoyed the review!
Adding too much information can be overwhelming but have incorporated km in places, in newer reviews.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can I just ask, what is the point in the charging cable for the battery if it gets charged back from the brakes etc? Do you need to charge it ever?
Good question: effectively lifting off will only regen so much energy, so you'll normally never have the ability to fully charge using regen braking only (especially if you're simultaneously using it while driving), so that's why there's the option to recharge using a plug socket.
Hope that helps!
@@TotallyEV thanks for the reply. So you can charge the battery from a normal 13amp 3 pin socket in your house, and it will take 5 hours?
@@mattcunningham8702 that's right, 5hrs when using a 3-pin plug! And no worries :)
I would seriously look at this over my current Octavia. I much prefer the front of the older Octavia and Superb. I think the grill is like the front of an ugly fish.
Ha!
What is the actual cc of the petrol engine please ? - is it greater than 1501 cc ?
It's a 1.4 L, 1,395cc to be specific.
@@TotallyEV Thanks - pity that it's not 1501cc or greater for company car purposes
Should suffice though!
yes Skoda was a joke in the early 90s as i remember them on the roads, it had a reputation as bad as a Lada Samara back then...
Ha, what a comparison!
That's ancient history! Skoda are top quality, no question.
@@julianroberts5407 yes the cat transformation took place after VW bought it
That was called Communism or it's immediate aftermath. Pre-communist Skodas were excellent
Yeah, it is amazing how they turned it around to become one of the most reliable car makers. The octavia particularly.
How long is the electric range?
Suggest watching the video!
No spare wheel then?
Wasn't present in our tested model, no
don't understand why the pure electric range is so low. This car drivetrain should be identical to the new Passat GTE which has a much better range...
We attained the same EV range in the Passat GTE! Check our review of the VW on our site: totallyev.net/volkswagen-passat-estate-gte-review-the-best-hybrid-estate/
I prefer cvt gear system to dsg just another expensive gearbox that will of course land on some poor owners doorstep after 100k
Thanks for sharing!
Man dsg6 is a tank
Kinda lost all hope when you said a Passat GTE does 10mpg more.
How?
Its the same system 😂
Can only go based on the data that I've got. Not going to make up MPG claims.
Sorry, but I don't consider a hybrid vehicle an EV
Fair enough, some do, some don't!
That is why it is called a hybrid. The clue is in the title.
@@peten748 😂 you're so funny
