New Car: Skoda Scala 2019 review
The Scala will be offered with a choice of petrol engines - a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo, with 113bhp and 200Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo that has 148bhp and 250Nm. There is also a diesel - a 1.6-litre with 113bhp, emitting just 108g/km of CO2.
Skoda does plan to offer an even more modest entry point further down the line, but the 94bhp version of the 1.0-litre won’t come until after the rest of the range lands in dealerships this summer. When it does arrive, it’ll be the only engine in the line-up with a five-speed manual gearbox; all the rest get either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
The trim levels will look familiar to anyone who’s recently perused a Skoda brochure. The range starts with S, which gets 16-inch alloys, LED headlights, air-con, front and rear electric windows and a 6.5-inch infotainment display. SE adds cruise control and rear parking sensors, and increases the infotainment screen size to eight inches, as well as offering Android and Apple smartphone connectivity for navigation.
The range-topper is the SE L, which includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED rear lights, dynamic (animated) indicators, rear privacy glass, a digital instrument cluster and climate control. It also features Skoda’s biggest infotainment system, the 9.2-inch Amundsen system.
On the face of it, Skoda is being punchy on pricing. The entry-level Scala 1.0 S will cost you £16,595; that’s around two grand less than Ford’s 99bhp Focus Style. But of course, resale values and the resulting monthly payment plans will be more important to most retail buyers than the headline figure. And it’s worth noting that S won’t be available at the car’s launch - so the starting entry point for the Scala range will be a 1.0 SE, at £18,585.
Still, that version is tipped to be the best-seller anyway, and it doesn’t take long on the road to see why it’ll have wide-ranging appeal. Its three-cylinder motor has just about enough shove low down to get the Scala up to speed, and as long as you keep it spinning above 1,400rpm, you shouldn’t be too troubled by turbo lag. Acceleration is steady rather than strong, but there’s enough shove there to make things feel comfortable enough when getting up to speed on a motorway on-ramp, for example.
