We already know everything important about the car, so just in a nutshell: the petrol version, which will be the most attractive for enthusiastic drivers, will offer 245 horsepower, as well as the most powerful variant of the RS 245 in the third generation Octavia.

The Scout is offered exclusively as a station wagon.

It will cost at least 926,900 crowns. At least 190k petrol and 150k diesel will be added to the offer, and both will probably be a bit cheaper.
