ŠKODA OCTAVIA Virtual Cockpit

Skoda has become the latest VW Group manufacturer to adopt the 'Virtual Cockpit' digital instrument display as an option across many of its models. Costing £450, the system looks broadly similar to that found on other VW Group models, featuring a large high-definition TFT screen with a customisable layout and 3D graphics in place of the traditional analogue dials. The system allows users to prioritise the instruments over the sat-nav map or vice versa, with entertainment, trip and driving assist information screens also customisable. Controls mounted on the steering wheel allow you to flick between different displays and zoom into the map.
