In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4572mm in length, 1769mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2578mm.

I've changed the Octavia's cabin air filter several times myself and find it quite straightforward. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box, and you'll see clips or buttons on both sides – just gently push or press them to remove the glove box. Then, you'll notice a plastic cover; pry it open with your hands or a small tool to pull out the old filter. Remember the arrow direction on the filter, usually pointing toward the interior, and insert the new filter in the same orientation. Finally, reattach the cover and reposition the glove box to complete the job. I recommend replacing it every six months or 10,000 kilometers to prevent odors and dust buildup, keeping the cabin air fresh while saving on dealership costs. Before starting, just ensure the engine is off and your hands are clean – no special tools needed, the whole process takes about ten minutes.
