UK prices for the 2020 Škoda Octavia

Škoda has announced prices and specifications for its all-new Octavia, which is being offered in both hatchback and estate guises.

Initially, the available trim grades are SE First Edition, SE Technology and SE L First Edition. An entry-level S variant and the sporty vRS are due to join the line-up later.

Equipment fitted to the SE First Edition includes 16” alloy wheels and LED headlights. Inside, there’s a 10.25” Virtual Cockpit instrument display, an 8.25” infotainment touchscreen, eight speakers, five USB sockets and dual-zone air conditioning.

Among the various standard driver assistance features are cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring, e Call, Front Assist, Lane Assist and rear parking sensors with Manoeuvre Assist.

Moving up to the SE Technology adds front parking sensors, voice control, Columbus satellite navigation and a larger 10” touchscreen.

17” alloys, rear privacy glass and some extra chrome trim distinguish the SE L First Edition. This range-topper also gains microsuede upholstery, heated front seats (with power adjustment for the driver’s), adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection and a choice of driving modes.

At launch, the powertrain selection consists of:

• 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 1.5 litre TSI petrol with a six-speed manual transmission
• 114 bhp (85 kW / 115 PS) 2.0 litre TDI diesel with a six-speed manual transmission
• 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 2.0 litre TDI diesel with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission

A 1.0 litre TSI engine plus mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are imminent, but their final details have yet to be confirmed.
