Skoda has announced a new four-wheel drive version of its Octavia estate range. Named the Scout, it features increased ground clearance, front and rear protective skid plates and a 4×4 system that enables up to 98 per cent of power to be transferred between the front and rear axles.

The Scout will be available with Skoda’s 2.0-litre FSI 150bhp petrol and 2.0-litre TDI PD 140bhp diesel engines. Standard features include stability control hill start assist, 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors and cruise control. Prices start at £17,725 for the petrol model, with first deliveries expected in April.

The Fabia has been a central element of Skoda’s success and a new generation model due for launch in May 2007 will seek to build on the achievements of its predecessor. The new supermini is longer and taller than its predecessor, giving more interior space. Four petrol and three diesel engines will be available, with the 1.2-litre petrol units engineered to produce more power. For the first time a six-speed Tiprtonic automatic transmission will be available, offered as an option with the 1.6-litre petrol engine. Specifications will be announced nearer the launch date, but Skoda has announced side airbags will be come standard on all models. The current Fabia estate will remain in production until its replacement arrives during 2008.
