Škoda’s best-selling nameplate and the car that re-established the brand in Western Europe after Volkswagen took control in 1991: the first genuinely modern Škoda, sharing its platform and engines with the contemporary Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3 rather than anything from the communist-era range it replaced.[1] The name itself is a revival (Škoda had used “Octavia” for a car in the 1960s), chosen to signal a fresh start rather than a continuation. This entry covers the original Mk1 and the current Mk4.
