As it’s also the case in Germany (€21,500 compared to €24,145 for the 1.6 TDI), the Skoda Scala is cheaper than the Volkswagen Golf in the United Kingdom too. In this part of the world, pricing kicks off at £16,595 for the entry-level S trim which features a whole lot of standard equipment.
The first of three grades comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, leather on the steering wheel and handbrake, LED headlights, height adjustment for the driver’s seat, power windows, air conditioning, Swing infotainment (6.5 inches) with DAB and four speakers, two USB ports, Front and Lane Assist, Speed Limiter, and Emergency Call.
Step up to the SE, and an additional £1,185 gets you fog lights, décor strips on the dashboard and door cards, chrome garnish on the instrument cluster, lumbar adjustment for both of the front seats, cruise control, rear parking sensors, Bolero infotainment (8.0 inches) with eight speakers, Bluetooth connectivity, an umbrella, alarm, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The SE L (£1,800 over the SE) serves as the top of the range, and you’re treated to almost all the bells and whistles imaginable. The highlights are the 9.2-inch Amundsen infotainment system with satellite navigation, climate control, Virtual Cockpit, keyless entry, dynamic signal lights, full-LED taillights, the whole nine yards.
Based on the MQB A0 vehicle architecture, the Scala is available with three engine options in the United Kingdom. First and foremost, the 1.0-liter TSI with 95 PS (94 horsepower) promises to sell the most examples. A turbo diesel is also available, and the remaining outputs in the engine range are rated 115 and 150 PS (113 and 148 horsepower), respectively.
The pick of the bunch is the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder, which is great for both the urban jungle and highway driving. In combination with the seven-speed DSG, it’s also comfortable in stop & go traffic and on the long haul.
Production of the Scala started at the beginning of February 2019, and customers in the UK will be able to place orders on the newcomer starting in May. Deliveries, on the other hand, are scheduled to kick off this coming summer.
