Here we have a new set of live photos for the third-generation Skoda Octavia, pictures taken at a special presentation event held by the Czech company.

Thanks to these new photos and presentation videos, we can see the sleeker lines of the new-generation Octavia. The new model comes with more aggressive lines, sharper optical blocks, reworked front grille and bumpers but also larger alloy wheels.

For now, we got no official pricing on the new Skoda Octavia but we know that it will go on sale next spring in Europe. However, we got the opportunity to see some leaked photos of the upcoming Octavia RS, a sportier version which is also expected to debut next year.
