The length, width, and height dimensions of the Octavia are 4675mm/1814mm/1460mm, which are official data. The length of the Octavia refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's support plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the Octavia has a maximum power of 83kw and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 3900 rpm. It is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is matched with a manual transmission (MT). The state has relevant regulations regarding the dimensions of vehicles. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89', the total width of a vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data lies in providing enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the state stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of relevant public roads.
As a car owner who frequently researches family sedans, I find the Octavia's dimensions very thoughtful. The standard sedan version measures 4689mm in length, 1829mm in width, and 1471mm in height—this size is not too bulky for city driving, and the rear seats can comfortably accommodate three adults. The Combi (wagon) version is even more practical, with a length of 4698mm and a significantly larger trunk than the sedan. I remember helping a friend move last time—after folding down the rear seats, there was still plenty of room for a folding bicycle. For daily parking, just be careful not to get too close to the curb. The 2686mm wheelbase design makes it quite agile when navigating narrow streets.
