New Skoda Octavia Scout 2021

ŠKODA has been offering SCOUT models with off-road flair since back in 2007: the second generation OCTAVIA was the first model by the Czech manufacturer to come with an adventurous look and all-wheel drive as standard. Following a model upgrade in 2009, it was produced until 2012. The OCTAVIA thus heralded the beginning of the SCOUT family, which for a limited time also included models such as the ROOMSTER SCOUT and the second generation of the FABIA SCOUT. In 2014, the OCTAVIA SCOUT based on the third generation was launched. This model was fitted with distinctive split headlights as part of its upgrade in 2017. Nowadays, the KODIAQ and KAROQ SUVs and ŠKODA’s flagship SUPERB are also available as rugged SCOUTs.

An OCTAVIA for any occasion
Whether it be a family holiday, the big weekly shop or a trip to the country with the mountain bike in the boot: the new ŠKODA OCTAVIA SCOUT, available exclusively as an estate, is the perfect vehicle for many occasions. Featuring a Rough-Road package as standard, including underbody protection and 15 mm more ground clearance, the OCTAVIA SCOUT is equipped for off-road driving too and is a popular choice for towing a caravan, horse box or boat trailer.

When fitted with a 147-kW (200-PS) 2.0 TDI engine, the ŠKODA OCTAVIA SCOUT can even tow a braked trailer weighing up to 2,000 kg. Like its OCTAVIA siblings, the SCOUT, which at 4,703 mm and 1,829 mm is now 16 mm longer and 15 mm wider respectively, offers an even more generous amount of space than its predecessor. The largest boot capacity in the segment has increased by a further 30 l to now 640 l. The SCOUT can be ordered with innovative full LED Matrix headlights, which are available for the first time for the OCTAVIA and allow drivers to have the high beam on at all times. The car also offers an animated Coming/Leaving Home function and bears ‘ŠKODA’ in individual lettering on its tailgate.

The new SCOUT now comes with a new 2.0 TDI EVO delivering 147 kW (200 PS) and 400 Nm – the most powerful diesel engine in OCTAVIA history. Furthermore, ŠKODA is offering the OCTAVIA SCOUT with front-wheel drive in addition to all-wheel drive. Customers can also opt for a 2.0 TDI with an output of 85 kW (115 PS) and a 1.5 TSI delivering 110 kW (150 PS), each with manual 6 speed transmission, or an e-TEC version of the 1.5 TSI featuring 7-speed DSG and mild hybrid technology. ŠKODA exclusively offers the two range-topping engines – a 2.0 TSI outputting of 140 kW (190 PS) and a 2.0 TDI delivering 147 kW (200 PS) – as well as a 2.0 TDI offering 110 kW (150 PS) with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed DSG.
