New Skoda Octavia Scout starts from £25,315

Fully prepared and always ready for an adventure - the latest model to join the Octavia range is a true Scout in every sense. Building on the strengths of its acclaimed predecessors, the second-generation Octavia Scout is a unique 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 sector-best levels 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 per cent 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 TDI 150 ps with a six-speed manual gearbox and a 2.0 TDI 184 ps featuring a six-speed DSG as standard. The former returns 55.4 mpg on the combined cycle and has CO2 emissions of 129 g/km, while the range-topping model returns 55.4 mpg and has CO2 emissions of 134 g/km.

In addition to its off-road ability, the new Octavia Scout offers all the acclaimed safety and comfort features of the standard model. All models are available with up to nine airbags and Crew Protection Assistant for vehicle safety in crash situations and Driver fatigue sensor.

A number of electronic comfort systems are available as options - intelligent light assistant and park assist. The Scout can also be supplied with a new rear-view parking camera.
