Skoda Octavia Scout: 2015 Price And Features For Australia

Skoda’s all-new Octavia Scout, revealed early last year, is now on sale in Australia with a new $32,990 starting price - slashing a handy $7000 from the price of its predecessor. 

Leading the range is the entry-level 110kW 2.0 litre ‘110TDI’ diesel, matched to a six-speed manual transmission.  

Further into the range, you’ll find the line-up’s only petrol option, the 132kW 2.0 litre petrol ‘132TSI’, mated to a six-speed twin-clutch auto.

Joining the 132TSI at the top of the range is the 135TDI, driven by a 135kW 2.0 litre diesel and a six-speed twin-clutch automatic.

All three variants will be offered exclusively in all-wheel-drive form and, as befits the Scout name, all three sit 31mm higher from the ground than the regular Octavia range.

As with the previous-generation Scout, the new 2015 model also picks up a ruggedised styling and protection kit on the outside, including unpainted wheel arch flares, skid plates at both ends and underbody protection.
