Yeah like Hyundai i30N. the last episode did not end well for the i30N because of prices n manual gearbox. with the revised changes, probably will do well since Skoda up till sky high liao..

COE cat b 60k (and rising), assuming 22k omv 6k gst and customs 22k arf already 110k. add on road tax, IU, number plate, servicing and warranty... SCS margin like that already 10k or less (of course, VES A2 rebate 15k brings it back up to 2+k margin). you still get alot of car and the latest tech for the money... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emman 1st Gear June 17, 2021 Share June 17, 2021 4 hours ago, Shouyi said: It seems that the Octavia is not as comprehensive in active safety features compared to the Scala. 1.) Tyre pressure loss indicator is only available in Combi variant whereas it is available in all Scala variants. 2.) Base Octavia Ambition does not have active safety systems but base Scala Ambition comes with Front Assist. 3.) ACC only available in Combi but Scala Style onwards has it. Octavia wins back points by having VC, dynamic rear indicators, shift-by-wire, electronic parking brake, an additional airbag for all variants. In addition, Octavia has a larger infotainment screen, plus wireless smartlink from Style trim onwards. Those are really quite interesting and surprising trades... Never thought I'd see a 2021 launch in this price range without TPMS and front assist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 123k for the Octavia, makes it a much better deal than the scala. 11 hours ago, tjyand said: hmm Kamiq and Scala costs 137k and 125k respectively (list price). As the Octavia is higher end than these 2 models, find it hard to believe its only 123k. if so then its a really good deal! 11 hours ago, emman said: VES banding plays a part in this as well, there's actually a fairly substantial price gap once you account for that Here's the answer, by the friendly number man from MCF. Just don't ask me how I get the OMV of Octavia... As you can see, the VES rebate play a big part in the pricing of the new Octavia. Regardless of the price difference, Octavia is a better choice in almost every aspect. Go figure. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, totally a no brainer. Now we know why the Octavia arrived much later than the scala and kamiq - it kinda renders those other models unattractive from the consumer`s perspective 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calinlin 3rd Gear June 17, 2021 Share June 17, 2021 @Shuaige12345 That is why depre for 2nd hand vrs is 13k depre, gti goes for 16k and a35 goes for 18k...and for 13k depre, maybe can only get a a180. It is already priced in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had put the octavia ambition in at $123900. The gap to the scala ambition would probably be just $500/yr. Coupled with the slight better FC, the eventual gap would probably be $250-400/yr. thus my earlier point about why bother with the scala. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouyi 3rd Gear June 18, 2021 Share June 18, 2021 (edited) Quoting from Ricky Tay, MD of Skoda Singapore, in a recent interview - [As to why the Combi wagon is being offered here, Tay says, “We always try to cater to all our customers in Singapore. There are cult followers and fans who like cars like the Combi and our RS models, and if we are able to negotiate with the factory and bring them in, even if it’s not a big volume, we will try to cover our customers’ requests and not deny them what they want.] I believe the Scala falls into this category. It is not attractive from a price point perspective when compared to the Octavia. It is for those who wants a compact runabout (<4.4m) and does not want to scarify too much boot space (think 467L) and pace (think 150bhp). I have to commend SCS for bringing in these 'niche' models.
