Fully prepared and always ready for an adventure – the latest model to join the Skoda Octavia range is a true Scout in every sense. Building on the strengths of its acclaimed predecessors, the second-generation Octavia Scout aims to be an all-rounder that combines off-road ability with exemplary on-road refinement and the brand’s famous practicality.
Priced from £25,315, the new Octavia Scout features an advanced, fifth-generation Haldex clutch transmission, along with lots of interior space and a host of safety and comfort systems. Yet despite a significant increase in size and specification, the new Octavia is 20% cleaner and more fuel-efficient than the previous model, delivering significant running-cost savings for owners.
Two engines and transmissions are available from launch: a 2.0-litre TDI 148bhp with a six-speed manual gearbox and a 2.0-litre TDI 181bhp featuring a six-speed DSG as standard. The former returns 55.4mpg on the combined cycle and has CO emissions of 129g/km, while the range-topping model returns 55.4mpg and has CO emissions of 134g/km.
