THE next three years could prove to be one of the most transformational periods in Skoda’s near-123-year history, as the Czech brand prepares up to nine new cars.

Leading the charge will be a new version of the firm’s biggest nameplate of all: the fourth-generation Octavia, previewed in our exclusive main image.

Although much of Skoda’s focus in recent times has been on expanding its SUV line-up, the Octavia remains its most important car and its true breadwinner. The Octavia has been part of Skoda’s range, on and off, since 1959, and last June the six-millionth example was built.
