Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · 1.5 TSI (NX, facelift 2024)

Skoda Octavia

Spacious family liftback on the MQB platform. Strong points are the boot (600 l) and the braked towing weight (1,600 kg). The 1.5 TSI with mild-hybrid returns WLTP 5.6 l/100km; owners report 6-7 l/100km in practice (public forums, not measured by us).

Profile · 1.0 TSI (NW, facelift 2023)

Skoda Scala

C-segment hatchback on the MQB-A0 platform, positioned between Fabia and Octavia. Strong point is the boot (467 l), larger than on most rivals. The 1.0 TSI delivers 116 hp and returns WLTP 5.5 l/100km; owners report 6.0 to 6.5 l/100km mixed (public forums, not measured by us).
