Some of the features of the Style Plus variant included LED headlights and tail lamps, panoramic sunroof, 8.0-inch touchscreen with navigation, 12-way electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory function, keyless entry, auto park assist, curtain and side airbags, fatigue alert, etc.

The final list of features available on the new 'Laurin & Klement' (L&K) variant of the Octavia is yet to be confirmed. Secondly, there has been no official announcement about the price of the Octavia L&K or what engines it will be offered with.
