#4 More for your money
More for less. It doesn’t happen very often, but that’s what you get with a Skoda Scala SE Edition trim.
This is the award-winning model that kicks off the range, but it has everything you need, plus pretty much everything you might want. To that end, there are LED headlights with LED running lights, plus super-bright LED taillights, a 9.2-inch central touchscreen infotainment system with Wireless Smartlink for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 10.25in Virtual Cockpit ahead of the driver.
And there’s more, as What Car? notes: “SE Edition includes 16-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone air conditioning, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob, a front centre armrest, cruise control, automatic lights and wipers and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.”
You want more? Okay, Skoda has also included traffic-sign recognition, rear parking sensors and a rearview camera, plus a keyless engine start/stop system. There are also no fewer than four USB-C sockets, so everyone can keep their devices topped up on the move.If you’re looking for one word to describe the SE Edition, then that word would be “generous”.
In addition, Skoda’s ‘Simply Clever’ features are front and centre in every single Scala model. These are surprising touches that just make living with a car easier, such as a parking ticket holder mounted on the windscreen pillar, an umbrella stowed in a compartment in the driver’s door, an ice scraper and tyre tread depth gauge inside the fuel filler cap, and a fold-out funnel on the screen-wash tank. You just know that Skoda has thought about how people live with cars, and has designed the Scala to make everything simple. Clever.
