The Škoda Octavia is a small family car which was produced by Czechoslovakian automaker AZNP from 1959 to 1971, at their plant in Mladá Boleslav.

It was introduced in January 1959 and was named Octavia as it was the eighth car produced by the nationalised Škoda company.

[citation needed] The Octavia was the successor to the Škoda 440/445 on which it was based.

The slightly heavier estate wagons at 1,365 kg (3,009 lb) were all shipped with 1.2 litre engines.

[citation needed] The Škoda Octavia engine and gearbox were used in the Trekka light utility vehicle, which was manufactured in New Zealand from 1966 to 1973.
