ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Skoda Octavia was originally rated by ANCAP in 2019. Skoda has since made a number of safety upgrades to the Skoda Octavia and the updated model has been assessed against 2022 rating criteria, with some results from 2019 testing able to be used. This ANCAP safety rating applies to updated Skoda Octavia variants built from September 2024 and on sale from November 2024 in Australia, and December 2024 in New Zealand.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting, and side head-protecting (curtain) airbags, as well as a driver knee airbag, are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, and Junction Assist) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), are standard on all variants.
