After we first saw the new generation Škoda Octavia in sedan and station wagon versions at the end of last year, Škoda has now decided that it is time to offer family fathers that wild version.
Scout has compared to the regular version 15 mm more ground clearance, which allows him a bit more carefree driving along the roads. In addition, the plastic bumpers and aluminum slats on the side - by which you will recognize it from afar - add an extra measure of masculinity and off-road robustness. 18 inch wheels they are standard, which is good, because they fit him just like that. Everything else is completely inappropriate.
And while the previous generations had to come with all-wheel drive, this time it will Octavia Scout available also with a drive only on the front wheels. As a result, the initial or entry price of this model will be lower. The petrol offer is starting a classic of the VW concern, 1.5 TSI with 150 hp, while the entry diesel with the classic designation 2.0 TDI has only 115 hp. The versions mentioned are related to the manual 6-speed gearbox. But Škoda does not rest and also offers a mild hybrid version with the designation 1.5 TSI e-TEC, which is connected in tandem with a 7-speed automatic transmission. We also have an extremely powerful 2.0 TDI EVO diesel engine with as much as 200 HP and 400 Nm of torque, which is served by 4×4 drive on all sides bikes and DSG gearbox.
