Much like the Kamiq SUV, there are three engines available spread across three trim lines, with the optional DSG twin-clutch automatic transmission available with the upper two engines. The new Scala will go on sale on October 3, and will reach customers early next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the main, the revisions to the Skoda Scala \u2013 a conventional five-door hatchback designed to rival the likes of the Ford Focus, Kia Ceed and Vauxhall Astra \u2013 mirror those applied to the Kamiq small SUV. This shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise, since the two models share the same MQB A0 platform and, as a result, engines and transmissions, and are made alongside each other at Skoda\u2019s main factory in Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--KLI0bkHI--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1695978852\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/Skoda-Kamiq-front_o0dxl7.jpg\">New 2023 Skoda Kamiq UK prices and specs revealed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The design tweaks are typical mid-life fare, with no expensive alterations to the sheet metal, but changes to the front and rear bumpers, and the headlights. There\u2019s a new front grille, too \u2013 designed, Skoda claims, to take the production Scala closer to the Vision RS concept that previewed it back in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The headlights themselves are slimmer than before, and there\u2019s a diamond pattern in the mesh of the new air intake, which gives it a more \u2018three-dimensional\u2019 look. Matrix-LED headlights will be available as an option, as will the extended rear-hatch glass that stretches down to the tail-lights. Other exterior tweaks include fresh designs of alloy wheels, ranging in size from 16 to 18 inches, and nine paint shades, including three solid colours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--zMtJaSxB--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1695992589\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/Skoda-Scala-rear_aensyr.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Scala will be offered with a choice of three petrol engines and three transmissions \u2013 and Skoda is steering clear of hybrid technology that would force prices up. The entry point remains a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol with 94bhp and a five-speed manual gearbox, while the mainstay of the range should be the same motor but in more powerful 114bhp guise; this is available with a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the range, the Scala will continue to be offered with the VW Group\u2019s 1.5-litre 148bhp motor \u2013 again, with a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed auto gearboxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Scala is getting useful tech boosts across the range, too; all models get an 8.0-inch digital instrument panel as standard, with a larger and more interactive 10.25-inch display available as an option. An 8.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system will be fitted across the range, too, with the option of upgrading to a larger 9.2-inch panel that comes with a navigation package. The car can have up to five USB-C ports, including one embedded in the rear-view mirror, which is convenient for plugging a dash cam into. Other new features include hands-free gesture control for the optional powered tailgate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_4059a716ln4oyya7 polaris__image\" height=\"20\" src=\"\/public\/trustpilot-icon.png\"><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Looking for a new hatchback?
