But first, let's explore the new Škoda Auto vehicles for sale in 2024.
Say Hello to The 2024 Škoda Auto Lineup
It's an exciting year for Škoda with the introduction of eight new vehicles. Building on the success of the previous year with an exciting selection of upgraded models and brand-new additions, here is our Škoda lineup for 2024:
Design Philosophy Behind the 2024 Models
The UK 2024 Škoda models are all about practicality and beauty, focussing on emotionally charged design choices and deriving meaning from the physical appearance of every car. This has led to substantial visual overhauls, so let's explore them in more detail.
Overarching Aesthetic Changes and Updates
The crystalline design is where Škoda sets its new cars apart, with a bohemian crystal that stays true to the brand legacy and its Czech roots while embracing modernity. Combining form and functionality as well as the art of cubism, the concept for the future is reflective of the automaker's history - innovation.
First Impressions: Exterior Highlights
Škoda's new exteriors deliver harmonious proportions with clearly defined lines and contours, topped off with crystalline features. The goal is precision and clarity and the devil is in the details of every car in the 2024 lineup.
From the radiator grille that boasts a three-dimensional dynamic form to the headlight eyelashes that reflect Bohemian glass art, not to mention the highly-set shoulder line, the emphasis is dynamism and that's something that Škoda Auto has achieved.
Škoda Interiors in 2024
Inside, ingenuity reins free, with a contemporary feel, an intuitively positioned infotainment control panel, and ambient lighting in selected models.
All materials are of the highest quality with special attention given to the aesthetic and touch of the upholstery, and there's generous boot and interior space for the family to enjoy in practically every model.
Advanced Technology and Features
The new Skoda range includes Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) alongside connectivity and smart features like smart dials, USB-C ports, mobile phone pockets on the backs of the front seats, and the ability to fold the back seats with a button in the boot.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of a new range of Simply Clever smart features that focus on functionality for drivers and passengers alike.
Performance and Efficiency: Engine Options and Specifications
From aesthetics to performance next, with a look at some of the more powerful variations of Škoda vehicles.
vRS and Sportline Upgrades
The Kodiaq, Octavia, Karoq, Superb, and Škoda Enyaq Coupé all have vRS and Sportline options available on top of the standard issue releases.
These are powerful, practical, performance vehicles, with the Octavia boasting 245PS of power for the petrol engine option and 200PS for the diesel, as well as up to 1,700 litres of boot space.
The Kodiaq vRS also enjoys 245PS and balances a sporty drive with stability, which is reflective of the vRS and Sportline philosophy of power and control.
Standard Škoda Auto Options
The Škoda Superb offers a pair of turbocharged 2-litre, four-cylinder engines and two four-cylinder diesel alternatives with 148bhp and 187bhp respectively. The Kamiq, on the other hand, has five-gear, six-gear, and DSG models available, all in petrol, with 95 to 150PS and a max torque of 250 for the largest option.
The Karoq comes in with a 2-litre TDI model with a 4x4 transmission, 360nm max torque, 150PS, and a top speed of 127mph. The 1.5-litre TSI in DSG transmission, however, has less max torque but equal power, with a top speed of 130mph.
The Superb is only available in DSG transmission and has a top speed of 139mph, regardless of which option you choose.

Comfort and Luxury on the Road
As well as sustainability and bold design, Škoda hasn't forgotten the importance of comfort. Let's explore how you'll enjoy luxury with a Škoda 2024 vehicle.
Interior Comfort
First, the seating, with heating and ventilated options available in the new Škoda range. There's also an optional massage function in certain models and smart comfort tools that make your trip that much more relaxing.
The Škoda Enyaq is available in Loft, Lounge, and Suite options with the latter providing superior design materials and additional lumbar-supported, black leather seats. The Lounge includes leather and microfibre upholstery and a soft suede finish, with distinct mustard stitching to bring out the opulence of the interior.
Each vehicle offers massive boot space, too, helping you explore in style with everything you need in the car with you. There are also lots of customisation options available for your vehicle and the chance to build a car from scratch on the Škoda website.
Luxury Features and Equipment
Multi-zonal air conditioning keeps passengers cool on summer adventures and there's a focus on space with the seating arrangements.
The dashboard also features decorative lines with adjustable ambient lighting depending on your mood, and a head-up display and a virtual cockpit paired with a 13" infotainment system means you'll never miss important information.
Smart controls enable quick access to numerous functions, too, from smart dials for interior temperature to seat heating and ventilation. You can also adjust the infotainment system volume, fan speed and direction, driving modes, and even a map zoom with push-button controls.
Safety Enhancements in 2024 Skoda Models
With great prices, incredible functionality, and add-ons to stock models available, there's also a range of safety features that help Škoda cars stand the test of time.
New Safety Technologies and Their Benefits
As a world-leading car manufacturer, Škoda takes the safety of drivers and passengers incredibly seriously which is reflected in their vehicles and overall service. This is also highly evident with the new 2024 range, with safety solutions on top of comfort and performance emphasis.
The most prominent safety tech comes in the form of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) which becomes active if you lose control of your car. There's also Lane Keep Assist that prevents drivers from leaving their lane of travel.
In addition, there's an all-new driver attention detection technology that warns drivers if signs of drowsiness or fatigue are detected.
Child, Passenger, and Other Drivers - Safety Features
Child safety features include side curtain airbags that protect the driver and child passengers from head injuries during a crash. There are also front airbags for driver and passenger, with side curtain airbags on the front row and auto emergency braking in city vehicles like the Fabia.
For the protection of other drivers, there are reverse cameras and blind spot warnings to help you avoid accidents. This is as well as vulnerable road user auto emergency braking which applies the car's brakes when you can't help avoiding a crash with pedestrians or cyclists.
Skoda's Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is the biggest concern for vehicle manufacturers in 2024 and Škoda is no different. Every car they sell is built with environmentally friendly materials where possible and the production process has sustainability at its heart.
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing Processes
Škoda is dedicated to sustainable manufacturing and they devote a lot of effort to supporting drivers, businesses, and communities. As part of this process, they prioritise decent working conditions, business ethics, responsible sourcing of raw materials, and recycling within their supply chain.
Carbon Neutrality and The Circular Economy
In addition, they enjoy CO2-neutral production at the Vrchlabi site, with zero landfill waste at every Škoda plant in the world. There's also an effort to use components with as little environmental impact as possible to preserve the environment and future generations.
The 2024 Škoda lineup is inspired by the circular economy, too, and many models incorporate innovative and exciting materials into their products. These include recycled PET bottles for seat covers and Eco Olive leather for the interiors.
The Future of Green Driving with Skoda
Moving forward, Škoda has implemented the GreenFuture Strategy which controls production, product, and retail environmental factors.
Intending to minimise the environmental impact of new products and services throughout their lifecycle, The Volkswagen Group, aka Škoda's parent company, defines climate, resources, ecosystems, and environmental compliance as key in their goTOzero mission, which extends to the Škoda brand.
