Å KODA's feature-packed SCALA is here (1133)

SCALA is the penultimate model in Š KODA's evolution as a mainstream European brand, a positioning that is now solidified with the recent debut of the KAMIQ 85TSI compact SUV (which will be followed into showrooms in February by the Kamiq 110TSI range).

Visually the SCALA is executed in Š KODA's latest, highly distinctive design language as per KODIAQ, KAROQ and SUPERB models while embodying Š KODA Australia's ethos of 'more car for the money'. Standard specification – in terms of safety, convenience and infotainment systems – is formidable.

On sale this month, the SCALA will be offered in with a potent 110TSI turbocharged petrol engine, driven through either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG transmission, across three range variants: 110TSI, Monte Carlo and - initially - the Launch Edition.

Though ostensibly the 'entry-level' variant, the 110TSI model grade features as standard items usually found in more expensive, associated brands. Standard exterior features include full LED tail lights with dynamic (sweeping) rear indicators, 18-inch alloy wheels and tinted privacy glass.

Within technology, highlights include adaptive cruise control, automatic tailgate, Smartlink integration with Apple Carplay and Android Auto with wireless charging (a first for Š KODA and presaging it roll put across the range), as well as Front and Lane Assist systems.

The innovative Virtual Cockpit, with a 10.25-inch high definition colour display, is also standard across the range. A newly prominent infotainment system (8-inch on 110TSI and Monte Carlo variants and 9.2-inches on Launch Edition) provides a full suite of apps and services at their fingertips, while red ambient lighting completes the impressive interior layout.

The Monte Carlo and Launch Edition build on this solid base. In the Monte Carlo this includes signature red styling in the sports seats and standard panoramic sunroof; in the Launch Edition leather trim and the premiere of wireless Smartlink connectivity in the Launch Edition.

The SCALA range is available now from Š KODA's national dealer network, and also for online orders. Like all Š KODA's the SCALA comes with a five year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, capped price servicing every calendar year, and the option to purchase pre-paid service Care Packs for either two or four years.
