Real Octavia III in the street, no camouflage!

[RURU2010]

Hot! Going for a coffee today (in Santiago de Chile!) we had the opportunity to take these amazing photos!

It seemed the shooting of a commercial.

Enjoy!

Edit Nov 19 12:53: Hey guys, a shot of the combi, sorry for the resolution but we couldn't get closer!

wow! looking nice. Rear looks like from old Audi A6

[zei20t]

broken down already??? :p

if that's it, I don't mind it at all!

[zei20t]

also has lane change sensors behind the rear doors

also has lane change sensors behind the rear doors

i would've gone with "self-park assist" sensor.

maybe the new octavia will come with that as standard/optional.

........then again, i could b wrong.

[LeeHarrison]

Well spotted

I think the sensors are for some sort of drowsiness/lane veering thing (not the technical name).

Everybody knows what it is, so why bother covering up the wheel centre badges with tape.

Looks much better in these pics.

I suspect its just been offloaded from the truck in the background.

we all drive skodas, just having some fun

Very ala Audi A6 saloon with the boot open.

When out at the weekend, I noticed a "lane change" symbol on my instrument panel, the sun was shining enough to show it up, hidden in the corner - wondered what it could be? Perhaps this is what it aludes to?

STILL no hydraulic bonnet lifter!

[Nick P]

Any more shots?

[Nick P]

Also confirms what we said about the black B pillars. Still has curry hooks in the boot .

[Coops]

Rear boot picture kind of confirms and lines up with this previous one:

The wheels are fairly tasteful, inspired by Audi rotors. Thankfully no horrible diamond cut and black nonsense.

[Coops]

Apparently Skoda allowed journalists to view a pre-production model of the Octavia III in Portugal - no photos allowed but they did allow photos with the car's veil on:

Great news for fans of massive arch gaps. Makes for easy fitting of snow chains I guess.

[Jigger72]

Is this basically going to be the same size as the Mark 1 Superb? Meaning the Rapid is the new Octavia and the Mark III Superb will be the size of a Hummer limo.

I do quite like the look of this new one though

Looks about normal to me. RS will be just right, any lower and it starts to look a bit Halfords.

Hmm not sure about the front lights myself, maybe just the silver making it look a bit wishy washy.

will wait to hold judgement till I see it in a darker colour, probably all irrelevant for me anyway as I'm only likely to be back in the market for a new motor when the Octy 3 FL comes out.

[32KOFDATA]

Is there a reason why autoforum.cz is posting your pics as theirs on Skoda Facebook's page?

The crease to the rear lights isn't as obvious as it looked under the veil.
