Advanced electronic driving systems, which comprise ESP, including ABS, EBV, MSR, ASR, EDS, HBA, DSR and ESBS, have already become a standard part of Octavia accessories since the Classic version and provide a high level of protection for passengers and other participants in road traffic.

In the field of passive safety, the main innovation is the WOKS  front headrests, whose new shape better protects the cervical vertebrae of those travelling in the front seats during a rear impact. Airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags in the front and head airbags are a matter of course. The front passenger’s airbag can be deactivated if necessary.
