VW have rolled out 'new' digital stuff across all their models now - including the octavia. By all accounts, it isn't very good.
It shares most of its control systems with the VW Golf, keeping buttons and switches to a minimum in favour of a digital touchscreen interface. This looks very neat but it isn’t always easy to use. Too much attention needs to be diverted away from the road to perform even simple tasks, while the digital systems can sometimes take too long to respond.

i wonder how different it is to the skoda?
our current skoda has a touch screen and it isn't amazing but also not that awful (2017 vintage). i don't need to use it for that much, get the sat nav going at the start of journey, audio volume and track skip are on the steering wheel, likewise cabin temp is a dial.
