The 2020 Volvo V40 Cross Country is a hatchback with a mini athletic SUV exterior outlook. It has raised height, side scuffs, and roof rails which help it to achieve this off-road stance. How about the 2020 Skoda Octavia? What do you think it has against the V40 Cross Country?

Design & Style

The 2020 Volvo V40 Cross Country has a seating capacity that supports up to 5 people within a cabin interior that provides an abundance of space which is necessary for families. It has seats that are well-cushioned and upholstered in leather to ensure comfortable rides every time. There are also other materials seen embellishing its interior surfaces and side trims which are soft to the touch and expensive to create a premium outlook and be visually appealing for a pleasant drive.

The 2020 Skoda Octavia exterior houses its headlights in a rather awkward layout but its new set of grilles looks bolder in this new edition. Its interior leans towards a minimalist style concept with premium materials being used to adorn its surfaces and sides. The Octavia's seats are rather spacious with enough cushioning for a good amount of support throughout different distances. Nevertheless, adults at the back row may feel slightly uncomfortable during longer drives.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 Volvo V40 Cross Country is well-equipped with a long list of tech advances such as a 9-inch touchscreen for infotainment, Android/Apple compatibility, a satellite radio, and navigation. Additionally, it also offers safety advances such as blind spot monitor, rear traffic alert, collision warning, lane assist, auto emergency brakes, collision prevention, sign recognition, bending headlights, attentiveness monitor, rain-sensing wipers, parking sensors, and rearview camera.

The 2020 Skoda Octavia comes with several tech features like a 10.25-inch screen for infotainment, and voice command though there are knobs for navigation purposes. For safety, it offers oncoming traffic detection, collision preparation, pedestrian detection, cruise control, lane assist, attentiveness monitor, stability control, and rear traffic alert.

Performance

The 2020 Volvo V40 Cross Country can generate 148 horsepower when powered by a 2L D3 engine under either its manual or automatic option.

The 2020 Skoda Octavia produces 148 horsepower on a 1.5L engine with an acceleration that is swift.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Volvo V40 Cross Country is the clear winner in this comparison in view of how robust its engine performance is though it is within the class of hatchbacks. Its interior is visually appealing with several touches of expensive materials whereas its seats warrant supportive rides during every trip.

The 2020 Skoda Octavia needs to introduce more technological advances and improve on its external appeal.
