SKODA is continuing its cut-price promotion on Octavia saloon and estate models until at least the unveiling and first fleet drives of new versions in October.

Reductions of up to £2,300 on list price came into play on July 1, contributing to a record UK sales month for the Czech brand and a 1.7% share of the market. The summer campaign means the entry Octavia 1.6 LX costs from £9,599 (previously £11,499) and range-topping 1.8 SLX Turbo estate from £15,699 (previously £17,999).
