Skoda Octavia Facelift: What's New In Design Changes?
The car's look has been refreshed, notably in the headlights, now sporting a coloured crystalline element named Crystallinium. Additionally, the new headlamps offer optional upgraded LED Matrix technology with 36 segments, replacing the former 24. These updates also facilitate the removal of fog lamps from the bumper.
The grille has been subtly altered with more upright slats, contributing to a sleeker look for the entire front end, thanks to better alignment of its lines.
Additionally, the rear bumper has been completely redesigned. Some design cues from the newer Superb model have influenced the updated Octavia but with a slightly sportier twist.
