What is the curb weight of the Octavia in kilograms?
2 Answers
The curb weight of the Octavia is 1420kg. Passenger Space: As the first MQB platform model of Shanghai Volkswagen, the new Octavia measures 4659mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2686mm. The body dimensions have been comprehensively upgraded, with the wheelbase extended by 108mm, significantly enhancing the passenger space. Cargo Space: In terms of cargo space, the trunk volume of the new Octavia has been further increased to 590 liters, and can be easily expanded to 1580 liters when the rear seats are folded, capable of accommodating an entire double-door refrigerator, making it a leader in its class. At the same time, the classic hatchback trunk lid design makes storage more convenient. Additionally, more than 10 thoughtful detailed storage spaces ensure that items in the car are neatly organized.
Speaking of my Octavia, the kerb weight is around 1,290 kg. This car feels extremely stable to drive, especially on highways where there's no sense of floating at all. The vehicle's weight significantly impacts handling, giving the steering a quality feel and making it less prone to skidding. Weight also affects fuel consumption; my 1.4T version averages about 7 liters per 100 km in city driving. If it were lighter, it might be more fuel-efficient but would sacrifice that sense of stability. I recommend checking ŠKODA's official website or the user manual for specific configurations, as there are notable differences in weight between different engines and the estate version, generally ranging from 1,280 to 1,350 kg. Vehicle weight is an important consideration when buying a car, as it relates to driving safety and comfort. For example, a heavier body is less prone to roll when cornering, making mountain road drives exceptionally reassuring.
