Prices for the a lot more powerful engine start from £20,825. Coupled with a handbook gearbox Skoda declares a 0–62mph time of 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 137mph. fuel economy stands at 49.3mpg, while CO2 emissions of 130g/km are claimed.
Equipment upgrades over an entry-level Scala SE include 16-inch alloy wheels, front and rear vehicle parking sensors, chrome window surrounds, LED tail lights and a traffic sign recognition system. Inside, there’s some silver trim for the dashboard and Skoda’s larger 9.2-inch Amundsen infotainment system, which uses support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Czech firm says this most current SE technology variant adds around £2,100-worth of extras over the equivalent SE model, while only being £400 a lot more expensive to buy.
