The wheelbase on that Yaris looks ridiculously long.

But if it had a BMW badge someone (probably in BMW marketing ) would be banging on about 'preserving the brand values of the 3 series' iconic short overhangs ' .

So their press release two months ago was accurate?

2020 Skoda Octavia
'The new Octavia shares its underpinnings with the recently revealed Mk8 Golf. This means a reworked version of the MQB platform and an engine line-up that includes both mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. The basic range kicks off with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine, putting out 108bhp. A 148bhp 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol is also available. Both can be had in mild-hybrid form, with near-identical performance but claimed efficiency gains. The flagship petrol engine for now is a 187bhp non-hybrid 2.0-litre TSI with all-wheel drive and a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Just one diesel, in three states of tune, will be offered initially: a 2.0-litre unit with 197bhp, 148bhp and 114bhp. The 197bhp version will offer the most torque, 295lb ft, and be all-wheel drive and DSG only, achieving 0-62mph in 7.1sec. There will be no mild-hybrid diesels at launch. However, a plug-in hybrid petrol option will be available for the first time in the Octavia. It’s powered by a 1.4-litre engine and a 101bhp electric motor – via a six-speed DSG gearbox – for a combined 201bhp, a 34-mile all-electric range and 0-62mph in 7.9sec.' (there is a hatchback and estate version so could possibly have qualified for other threads, but all of the models are still in the 'family car' bracket) |

Yes another VW Group sedan with an Audi tail. This is getting boring.

Shame that Skoda seem to be following the trend for ‘in your face’ front grilles. Rest of the car looks quite neat, if hardly ground breaking.......

A liftback has a hatch but the shape is closer to fastback. Sort of.

One magazine this week refers to the hatch as a ‘liftgate’! More confusion..

Ah thanks - although I think it's a bit of a stretch to include the Octavia in the same variant of cars as the one driven in Bullitt…..

I think you've posted this in the wrong thread - it's described as a Premium Saloon, a long way from being 'small and family'?

I doubt the DS 9 will be more expensive than the Insignia or Mondeo.

What Car refer to the DS-9 as 'New range-topping DS 9 luxury saloon' - which would surely mean it would be better placed in the luxury saloon thread? Other points: 'With dimensions that make it about the same size as key rivals such as the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6' 'Prices for the DS 9 are expected to start at around £30,000, making it a comparative bargain next to most of its luxury car rivals.' The other large cars you mention start at £19,300 and £24,450 respectively, making the DS-9 a lot more expensive. |

I suspect that body panels will be among the very few components it doesn't share with the 508! Quote:
It's in a totally different market. Think of DS as PSA's Lexus. |

It would be a bit difficult to share body panels when the largest 508 (the 508L) is Wheelbase 2,848 mm (112.1 in) Length 4,856 mm (191.2 in) and the DS 9 is Wheelbase 2,895 mm (114.0 in) Length 4,930 mm (194.1 in) |
