The Octavia Scout’s original design is based on the Skoda Octavia Estate, and has been around since 2007, selling 53,600 by the end of 2013, 8% of all Estates sold in that period.
So it is time to bring the Octavia Scout kicking and screeching into the next decade, bigger in size and with a significant increase in specification. Yet somehow, despite these increases, the new Octavia Scout is 20% cleaner when it comes to emissions and 20% more fuel-efficient than the previous Scout incarnation – reductions that mean an increase in both running-cost savings and peace of mind when it comes to saving the world!
Featuring an advanced, fifth-generation Haldex clutch transmission, the new Octavia Scout is available with 2 engines and transmissions from launch: a 2.0 TDI 150PS with a six-speed manual gearbox and a 2.0 TDI 184PS with a six-speed DSG as standard.
The 2.0 TDI 150PS engine will give the driver 55.4mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 129g/km, while the range-topping 2.0 TDI 184PS will give up 55.4mpg with CO2 emissions of 134g/km.
There are also optional extras available such as Intelligent Light Assistant, Park Assist and a rear-view parking camera.
