The Octavia iV has a compartment in both front doors, including an umbrella or hand brush in the driver’s door, in case you get caught in the rain or want to give the car a sweep. The compartment is water-resistant so wet umbrellas can be stored here and the water from the umbrellas is drained outside the car. Both features are also optionally available for the second compartment.

You can also find Simply Clever solutions under the bonnet. The Octavia iV features a cleverly designed rubber lid for the washer fluid tank. It opens into a practical funnel so you can easily top up the fluid without making a mess.

Using the mechanical rear-door child safety lock requires foresight when you’re sometimes in the car with children, other times with adults. You can activate and deactivate the rear-door locks electronically from the driver’s seat whenever you need to.

If you’re looking for protection from the sun’s rays or peace and quiet for your work, retractable sun blinds – completely hidden away when not in use – can be simply pulled up to protect the interior.
