Skoda Octavia

In May 2013, Skoda decided to discontinue the 'active' bonnet on the Octavia which had previously been standard equipment across EU27. Accordingly, the results presented here are updated to show the normal bonnet. Cars with the active bonnet (VINs before TMBBG7NE8D0040380) would also be rated as 5 stars but achieved a score of 30 points (82 percent) in pedestrian protection. Without the active bonnet, protection of the head was generally adequate, with good areas towards the centre of the bonnet surface and some poor regions around the windscreen pillars. The protection provided by the bumper to pedestrians' legs was good but the front edge of the bonnet provided marginal or poor protection to the pelvic area.
