The new Škoda is available in hatch or estate versions, with three engine options and three trim levels: SE First Edition, SE Technology, and SE L First Edition.

Prices start from £22,390 OTR for the 1.5 TSI 150hp SE First Edition hatch model and rise to £29,515 OTR for the 2.0 TDI 150hp DSG Estate SE L First Edition.

More engine options will join the range later in the year, including a 1.0-litre petrol TSI engine, as recently introduced to the new Volkswagen Golf that shares the same platform.

Mild-hybrid technology will be available on both the 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI, and a PHEV (plug-in hybrid) model will also arrive. A vRS model, available in diesel, petrol and PHEV, will also be added to the range. The Octavia vRS iV will be the first ever electrified vRS model.

First deliveries should start this summer, with additional variants due by the end of the year.
