In 2019, the Skoda Scala was launched as a rival to the Vauxhall Astra and Ford Focus. With a priority on usability and affordability, the uniquely styled Scala became a popular option for budget-conscious families. While still in its first generation, Skoda released a facelift in 2023 that added new features to the lineup, making it more attractive for both the typical customer and fleets.

Used Skoda Scala FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Skoda Scala?
The petrol engines are far more popular than the diesels. The entry-level petrol is the cheapest option, but it doesn't sacrifice any power or efficiency, with an output of 93bhp and an efficiency rating of up to 55.4mpg with CO2 emissions of 116g/km.
Which are the most popular model variants?
Skoda currently offers the Scala in three models: SE, SE L and Monte Carlo. The SE is the most popular variant because of its price. This model includes standard dual-zone climate control, tinted windows, 16-inch alloy wheels and rear parking sensors.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Customers should look out for a panoramic glass roof, which creates a brighter, more inviting cabin space. The Scala also has an available 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit that turns the traditional dials and gauges into a digital display.
Is the Skoda Scala a good family car?
The Scala has enough back seat room to comfortably accommodate three adults, making it a good option for families. Its huge boot space, which is larger than that of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, also makes it suitable for families.
Is there a hybrid version of the Skoda Scala?
Skoda hasn't released a hybrid Scala yet, but there could be one produced in the future. For now, the most efficient engine option is the 113bhp 1.6-litre TDI, which returns up to 60.1mpg.
Is the Skoda Scala available as an automatic?
Yes, Skoda offers select engines with an automatic transmission. There are also manual gearbox options. Both are roughly equally popular among used cars, so there shouldn't be an issue finding either.
Is there a four-wheel drive version available?
No, all Skoda Scala models come standard with front-wheel drive. This configuration is great for daily driving and it helps to maximise fuel efficiency.
