I honestly don't know
I spoke to my local dealer who were "unsure". Was just a casual chat while I was waiting for parts to locate my order.
Maybe they weren't allowed to tell me etc.
It's also possible VW have started to embrace Skoda - in the past for example the vRS engine has been "detuned" compared to the same engine in the GTI resulting in a drop of "headline" specifications. Silly little things like that to keep the VW brand as premium over Skoda.
The Octavia is 433mm longer, 95mm wider and has a wheel base 43mm longer than the Golf.
