"The Skoda Octavia Scout has a raised ride height, four-wheel drive and body protection for those who are looking for a robust Octavia Combi."

the Octavia Scout is more of a road vehicle with additional support and increased ground clearance than a true off-roader, but it's a nice-looking car that seems to be good value in addition to its rivals. The fact that it is significantly more expensive than the standard Octavia Estate, although the optional all-wheel drive is fitted, is more likely to give pause to get you thinking when you consider buying one.
Skoda Scout has a 148bhp or 181bhp diesel engine. The less powerful car comes with a manual transmission, while the more powerful model only automatically. In a four-wheel drive car, both engines offer reasonable fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while the 0-62mph time of just 7.8 seconds from 181bhp model is also quite fast.

Because it is only available with all-wheel drive, the Octavia Scout uses more fuel and emits more CO2 than most other cars in the Octavia range. The 148bhp Scout is capable of 58.9mpg and causes an annual road tax bill of £ 110, while the 181bhp engine the same control thanks to its 129g / km CO2 emissions and delivering 56.5mpg costs. For comparison, a front-wheel drive Octavia Estate has is 70.6mpg return with the 148bhp diesel engine, while the 181bhp model still manages 62.8mpg. Neither wheel diesel costs more than £ 30 per year tax
Other costs of ownership of the vehicle even more impressive. Skoda has a three-year / 60,000 mile warranty with the Scout, and you can extend up to five years and 100,000 miles for £ 515 fixed price service means that the first two services will cost just £ 279, while the Scout should ensure rarity it 40 % of its value after three years / 36.000 miles reserves.

the Skoda Octavia Scout is an impressive performer
If you want a manual transmission, you need to choose the 148bhp model, while the more powerful 181bhp engine is only available with Skoda automatic DSG transmission. Both engines are smooth and quiet movement, although they rattle do a little during cold starts.
Whichever engine you choose, the Octavia Scout feels fast enough. The 0-62mph time of 9.1 seconds, the 148bhp model sounds not so fast, but it has a lot of power, and the highway overtaking easy. The 181bhp engine comes from the defined benefit Skoda Octavia vRS, so it feels pretty quickly - its 0-62mph time of 7.8 seconds Confirmation

Thanks to a sophisticated rear suspension system, the Octavia Scout feels very comfortable and-good way planted on while slender body in corners is minimal - despite the extra headroom. The all-wheel drive forces to the front wheels as standard ball with force to the rear wheels when the loss of grip is detected. While there is not a true off-roader, the Scout is more than capable, wet fields and rutted tracks is cruising.

reliability and safety

The Octavia Scout is extremely safe and reliable
buyer does not have to continue to look as the Octavia Scout for peace of mind. The 11th place standard Octavia (0 cars) in our 2015 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, together with Skoda third place (of 32 manufacturers) mean Scout property should be a trouble-free affair.
Reliability is another strong suit Scout: a five-star Euro NCAP result is excellent, while the extra grip means offered by all-wheel drive that you are less likely to find the car, such as slippery conditions crawling ,

the Octavia Scout seems great value when it instructs rivals compared
While a premium of around £ 3,000 over a two-wheel drive Octavia Combi with the same engine the Scout comes with a generous amount of equipment. It is worth mentioning, however, that the Scout over £ 2,000 more than a standard Octavia Combi with four-wheel drive will cost (although this is missing in the leather seats of Scout, increased ride height and chunky bumpers). The Scout is certainly cheaper than its competitors, although both the Opel Insignia Country Tourer and Volkswagen Passat Alltrack by a significant margin were.
Used values for the Octavia Scout are likely to be strong due to its rarity, although the Passat Alltrack hold its value better. Skoda offers a wide range of options for the Octavia Scout, including several storage solution packages, additional airbags, keyless-go and on-board Wi-Fi access.
