As a world premiere, Skoda is going to present the subtly facelifted Octavia at the Paris Motor Show that runs from 2-19 October, 2008. Key exterior enhancements include the newly shaped headlamps, a more robust radiator grille, restyled bumpers and tail lamp covers. Inside, Skoda redesigned the steering wheel, the dashboard (white-backlit), the air conditioning controls and the decorative strips on the doors and the central console. Furthermore, new upholstery fabrics are available across all equipment levels.

 

Other improvements include the new adaptive xenon headlamps and the installation of front

I prefer current generation look, more european, this one looks Korean/Japanese even with the swept back eyes.

[Miles]

Thanks for the info

 

Is it my imagination or is there the word "Octavia" on/in the headlights

[Koolaba]

Definitely not your imagination. The inscription of the model name in the headlights is a design element first found in the new Superb.

[Lightspeed]

Realised that after looking at more pics

[Koolaba]

This new headlamp design has some similarities with the Suzuki SX4's (also known as the Fiat Sedici).

It is in between the current BMW 5 series and the Suzuki SX4's.
