Since its market introduction in September 2008, the
Octavia Scout has become a successful model in the Skoda range. Now the Octavia Scout joins the new
Octavia and the new Octavia RS in receiving a design update as it progresses into the second half of
its 'lifecycle'.
The revisions include the grille with its 19 vertically arranged 'ribs' surrounded by a redesigned,
chrome-plated frame and the equally new headlamps, which can be equipped with optional xenon lights
with dynamic angle control are significantly larger and more dominant.
The cross-country mobility, dynamics and comfort of the Octavia Scout have been preserved. The
ground clearance of 180 mm and the under body sump guard significantly enhance its off-road
suitability. The four-wheel drive is controlled by the fourth generation Haldex clutch. The variable
power distribution provides impressive traction capability, which ensures safe progress even on
difficult roads. The reliable and powerful 2.0 TDI 103 kW (EU 4) engine with DPF filter in connection
with a manual six-speed gearbox ensures optimal propulsion.
In the passenger compartment, the driver and passengers enjoy high comfort levels as well as
excellent quality materials and workmanship. The dual-zone air conditioning is now equipped with an
AQS (air quality sensor), which constantly measures the quality of the air drawn into the vehicle and,
if necessary, automatically switches to re-circulating the interior air.
Even with its new face, the new Skoda Octavia Scout stays true to itself. The four-wheel driven,
reliable wagon has been, and remains, the powerful and high-traction variant of the mid-size series.
With a boot volume of 580 litres (up to 1,620 litres with the rear seats down), it copes even with
the most challenging transport tasks.
Pricing for the new Octavia Scout remains unchanged at $39,990*.
NOTE: * Price is manufacturer list price only and excludes dealer delivery charges and the
state/territory statutory charges. Local Skoda dealers can advise the "drive away" price of Skoda
vehicles.
