Skoda Scala Hatchback (2019)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Skoda Scala is a compact hatchback in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.
A new model that sits between the Fabia and the Octavia, the Scala has similar designs found in the Fabia and is neither good-looking nor well-built. It can be rather strange why one would purchase this vehicle over the competition.
Unsurprisingly, the car has a basic drivetrain and suspension setup.

Reviewer score 42%The 1.5-litre engine lends plenty of punch too, pulling with suitable conviction from as low as 2000rpm. The steering is naturally weighted and, at 2.6 turns lock to lock, reasonably responsive too. Unsurprisingly, there’s a distinct sense of VW Group-ness about the manner in which it rides, too - so long as you stay on smoothly surfaced roads.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent handling
Cons
- Not as practical as a Golf
- No independent rear suspension
autocar[2]
Reviewer score 65%The Scala won’t be officially revealed until December, so we drove a prototype version. If you could ignore the camouflage and lack of interior, there’s little behind the wheel to suggest this is anything but a production-ready model. Skoda will offer an optional Sport Chassis Preset configuration, which makes the car 15mm lower and adds a more sporty dynamic to the set-up. The 1.5-litre TSI is the sweet spot with ample power driven through a six speed manual.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Powerful engines
Cons
- Not as practical as rivals
- Limited interior space
autocar[3]
Reviewer score 56%The 1.5-litre four-cylinder TSI and dual-clutch gearbox is predictably slick, if not quite the most clinical around. The car’s balance is reasonably good, and body control adequate, but try to splice quicker corners and unless the road is glass smooth the rear axle constantly tampers with any stability that brings. Even the most basic Scala S is relatively well equipped, cavernous like no other car in this class.

Pros

autocar[4]
Reviewer score 47%The 1.6-litre TDI is currently the only diesel engine available in the Scala. With 113bhp and 184lb ft, it delivers competitive numbers and promises up to 57.7mpg when mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The rest of the package is pure MQB AO, which means strut suspension at the front and a torsion beam rear axle.

Pros

Reviewer score 59%The arrival of the new Skoda Octavia last year put the Czech brands other family hatchback offering, the Scala, in the shade. It's a more budget-focused alternative, but to give customers more choice Skoda has added its 148bhp 1.5-litre TSI engine and seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox to the line-up. Price start from £21,965 for this powertrain, but our new fleet-focused SE Technology model costs from £22,365.

Reviewer score 74%The Skoda Scala is one of the most practical cars in its class. It gives the Volkswagen Golf a run for its money when it comes to ride, handling and build quality. Standard equipment is good across the range, with impressive infotainment and the option of digital dials on higher-spec models.

Reviewer score 81%The new Skoda Scala is the Czech brand's latest rival for the Volkswagen Golf in the family hatchback class. It won't replace the much-loved Octavia; instead, it'll sit alongside the more saloon-shaped model in Skoda's range, with a slightly keener price. The 1.0-litre engine (another proven MQB quantity) is excellent, providing plenty of performance in the middle of the rev range.

- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Not as refined as Golf

Reviewer score 73%All-new Skoda Scala hatch will be fighting it out in a class chock-full of accomplished rivals. Our Scala is the most powerful model you can buy: its 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol unit has 148bhp. It's matched to a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The car gets from 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds.

Reviewer score 68%, and while we haven't tried one without, the Scala's noise, vibration and harshness levels impressed when sat on the standard suspension. We've had a sneak peek at the new interior, despite our cabin being covered in the prototypes we drove. It borrows heavily from the Vision RS Concept that we recently drove. The Scala's near the top of the Skoda class here. Spec the Amundsen infotainment system with a permanent 4G internet connection built-in.

- Fantastic looks

Cons
- No multilink rear axle
- Somewhat expensive

Reviewer score 73%The Slavia takes its name from the first bicycle produced by Skoda founders Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement. Inspired by a series of projects in the 1970s, the current Azubi programme's been going since 2014. Underlying the Slavia's slinky bodywork lies the chassis and running gear of a Skoda Scala hatchback. The 1.5-litre 148bhp petrol engine and seven-speed DSG automatic is unchanged.
