I preferred the earlier, pre-facelift Octavia.

The lights on the new one just look awkward.

The DRLs look awful too.

I hope they don’t do this to the next Superb.

Wasn’t even aware they face lifted it. It doesn’t look too bad in the main pic, but other angles it does look awkward.

I think the secondary headlights look fine but the problem is that the main headlight looks tiny.

Škodas have been losing interest for me since they’ve killed the Yeti, one of the only cool crossovers, for the soulless Kumquat or whatever it’s called.

I think all four lights look awkward either alone or together.

Skoda said they wanted it to tie in with the, at the time, new Kodiaq.

The Yeti was getting too long in the tooth.

The Karoq is more generic, maybe too generic.

SEAT Ateca

I still like Skoda, I enjoy mine, and they do do some nice cars.

I like the Fabia, Rapid Spaceback, Superb and Superb estate.

The W212s looked great though, and it had a very similar light arrangement. 

And because I never really cared for it, I’m only just noticing how bad the light treatment on the Kodiaq is. I’m noticing how some SUV’s these days just have circular foglights.

Though I didn’t like the W212, it looks much better than the Octy.

The Octies outboard lights look from the front quarter angle look like they dip down as they come outwards but they are actually horizontal level, the oversize gap between the two light units (that isn’t present for the inboard lights to the grille).

Skoda got some curious looks from people who saw the Kodiaq but later understood, but when they did it with the Octy people got vocal with Skoda about it.
