    New Octavia styling changes

    New 2017 Skoda Octavia revealed with styling and tech tweaks | Auto Express

    Not sure how I feel about the split headlights. I think the mk3 Octavia is a very handsome, yet aggressively styled car and the updated headlights don't really do anything for me at all.

    Thoughts?

    I like the tail lights on the 2017 version, similar to the new Superb. That's all I like about the new design. Happy with my beast!

    I prefer the original Mk3 front end also.

    I'm not a fan of the new grille and headlights either. Skodagram on Instagram have a small video which shows a bit more. Full LED headlights would be nice. More info 2017 Skoda Octavia revealed

    I have to say, I kinda like it - in a video posted on the AuSkoda page (I can't get the link - no FB at work!) it shows it with the headlights on, very nice looking I think.

    But, I guess I'm gonna get paid to say that too

    So glad I have mine, those front lights are gonna bring back the odd factor that didn't help the Mk2 locally.
