For those who have been waiting for this.

Looks like prices start from £38,670 for the hatch or £39,775 for the estate.

How does that price compare to previous models?
£38,670 doesn't give much margin for options before you hit the higher VED rate.

Yes but no one pays anywhere near list price.

I thought Skoda were changing their business model so the car is actually purchased from the factory, with the "dealer" having no flexibility on price - so the only way to get a new Skoda for less than list price is via a broker?

thats only 230 quid less than the equivalent Golf Gti

 

by the time you choose a nice colour and add the adaptive supsension or an upgraded sound system...you are past 40k and stuck with loads more road tax..and thats set by the RRP..any discounts the dealer offer are not factored into , so even if you pay less than 40k your final road tax is based on the RRP not the discounted price 

 

poor show from skoda

mind looking at comparing the two VW have your eyes out for options

 

for the same fancy red paint, 390 from skoda, 800 from vw,  and over a grand to get the 19's  ( which you would want as the standard gti alloys are foul!)
