"Skoda" Uncovers Scala 2019 with Great Design (with Video)

By: Ahmed Yasser

CAIRO, Dec. 8 (SEE)- "Skoda" revealed the new Scala 2019 in the competitive family hatchback market and considers it to be the best chance of redefining the segment for brand.

Scala also features an all-new interior with new materials throughout including microfibre fabric for the seats and soft foam surfaces for the dashboard trim. The freestanding touchscreen infotainment system can be paired with an optional 10.25 in virtual cockpit display in place of traditional instruments.

The lineup includes a 1.6-liter TDI four-cylinder turbodiesel rated at 115 PS ''113 hp'' and 250 Nm ''184 lb-ft'' of torque. Customers can go for a 90PS '89hp'' 1.0-liter G-Tec unit that runs on natural gas ''CNG''. Transmission options include five- and six-speed manual and seven speed dual clutch units.

It,s 4362 mm long, 1793 mm wide and 1471 mm high, the new Scala is longer, wider, and taller than the Rapid Spaceback. Its 2649-mm wheelbase is also slightly longer than the Spaceback’s and that translates into a more spacious cabin further optimised by switching to MQB A0 underpinnings.

It will be interesting to see how the Skoda Scala will perform in Europe’s crowded compact hatchback segment once it will go on sale in second quarter of 2019.
