I still remember people hating on 2007 civics, they sold like crazy and the resale value is still high 10 years later... I for one like this facelift. Its dearing and fresh.
So I guess I'm the only one who likes the headlights 🤷🏿♂️

why not get all the opportunities to blame everything on the big bad german right? ffs, as if skoda doesn t have an history of seriously bad designs. the new Seats look stunning, the next yeti has been seen testing and its a tiguan with a skoda front, heck, why would they even released the kodiaq, but doesn t matter right? why blame on the brand that has loved quirky designs since forever, lets all bark and join the worlds favorite hobby, blame germany (and i m not german btw)

i didn't like it at first when i saw the split headlights but i changed my mind it actually looks really good
the front looks like the old E-class
It looks like someone took an axe to the old pair of headlights and the wounds just healed to become the new facelift.

Norbert Havran Should we expect the next line of BMW to be rubbish? The guy apparently did the Veyron (amazing car but the exterior design was kinda dodgy) and the new Skodas that turned to be more and more awful (Octavia 2 with facelift was the best looking). It's like he realized he ruined the design of the brand and abandoned ship. Meanwhile the latest BMW although some seemed bland were nice to look at and definitely better than the old Bangle design (except the 1 series, that was bad and now it's shit!).

What's awful about the Octavia 3, new Fabia 3 and Superb 3 and Kodiaq? Sales have gone through the roof in virtually all markets, and the Superb is stunning. It's also not just about looks, the quality is class leading too, scaring the so called premium brands.
Loving them headlights.

That is how you do an intro video. Specs, everything, while the voice-less commercial plays in the back. Unlike other channels where its only the voice-less commercial, without voice over or any additional information. This is why carwow wins subscribers.

Is it even possible to make a car figuratively look uglier? What purpose does the addition of the word "literally" serve in this sentence?
People will end up doing a Reverse facelift..
Everybody's hating, yet everybody's buying. After the initial shock of the funky design, most people did start liking it, and so did I.
This car is always Awesome !! It is Now even more Awesome !!
person responsible for ruining front of this car should be fired immediately!
Everyone is complaining about ugly headlights. When I first saw it i was like: wtf why??? But the more I look at the new Octavia's facelift, the more I like it.

Quick question. Is a similar face lift (face down actually ) on the cards for the superb as well ? If yes, then when can it be expected? I am from India and considering the current Superb and the yet to be launched VW Passat, which has been on its was to India since ages. Thank you.

The base model is equipped like a clio from 2003. This car costs around 25 grand if you want any sort of extras and well over 30k if you spec it out.
This looks like a Chinese copy of the old E-Class before its face lift.

why skoda separates the headlights?
Could you do cold start of 2017 prius?
I´m guessing it is the MQB platform, maybe they mentioned it but I missed it.
Call me odd but I like the new headlights. They aren't as good as the old ones, but they're not bad. It makes it look almost Swedish.
Electric tailgate was already available on the old model btw

I don't understand how anyone thought that the headlights were a good idea, especially after Mercedes excised those lamps from the ridiculously extensive E-class facelift. The Hitler-tache that houses the radar on the grille is also noteworthy and very embarrassing.

The car should be featured on 'Botched' on TLC XD. Aside that, Skoda is way better than VW for city and family cars.
Any idea where this was filmed? I loved the headlights on the last one (so much I was kinda embarrassed to tell anyone) but I hate these ones, yuck! I can finally stop thinking about whether getting an Octavia is a maybe a good idea and refocus on MX-5s and hot hatchbacks

Disappointing after the good job they did with the superb.
Shame, they've ruined the styling. Those lights are terrible.
This will go down in automotor history as how NOT to do a facelift.
If I were transport minister, these lights would be illegal in Britain
Those front lights just look wrong....and dull.
That's why they say, if it's not broken don't fix it.
A hot VRS model is the go.
I don't care what the head lights look like it's still a brilliant car,

Why, why, why? Finally for a long time Škoda has some really fine desing on their cars. And then this face"lift". The head light doesnt fit anything else on the cars body. Its like badly tuned teenage car. If you really have to lift up the face, let the cars original designer do it. Not your nephew!

Dear carwow you named your video "2017 Skoda Octavia - how have they made it even better?" you should have named it HOW THEY RUINED IT! Look at the comments, the percentage of disgust is shockingly high! It's even worse than the new Ghostbusters!
The fact that this new version like it's predecessor is as ugly as shit is not the problem, but the fact that I'll have to see them on the roads for many years is.
Fantasia "omg thats the best looking car ever" , A7 "What the fuck probabaly just a generation" , new A7 "Fuck skoda , sorry audi"

Looks like Skoda can't do a decent facelift to save their lives. The Mark 2 Octavia facelift was a lot less attractive from the front than the original design too. Thankfully as the driver you're the only person who won't have to look at it provided you always reverse it into your driveway.
