Just saw this review on the Auto Express app on Android.

They have it priced at over £22k, so I would expect the Scout to be around the £25k mark when released next year.

The mpg and CO2 figures do sound good, though I'll think I'll stick with my current Scout!

Surprised at the "No change to the ride height" - will the Rough Road Package be an option in the UK I wonder?

Unlikely, its not available on the configurator, but look elsewhere in europe and you can spec it on any Octavia III.

Well that's just rubbish!

Have the Skoda UK crowd not driven outside of the M25? Irish models give you the option of "Underbody stone guard €54" or "Underbody stone guard & increased ride height €183".

Roads by me are as bad if not worse than anything I've experienced in the Republic of Ireland, or anywhere else in Europe for that matter, so why the hell are these options not available for the UK market??? (Not that I'm looking to replace mine anytime soon, but even so...)

I've just noticed another thing missing in the UK (but available elsewhere) is the 230v socket. I don't get why the UK has such limited options.

SUK SUCKS!! :( Im after the underbody protection and the mains inverted supply.
