Skoda has a rich history, starting with the founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, who originally manufactured bicycles in 1895. They’ve produced trams, buses, and even steam trains, but most notably, their first car was presented to the public in 1905.
Since then, the Czech company has only grown and adapted, incorporating their ‘Simply Clever’ ethos into everything they do – on top of a dependable, spacious and comfortable car is a commitment to practicality and accessibility as standard, with everything from ice scrapers hidden in the fuel filler door to integrated funnels on the washer fluid caps.
Skoda describes their cars as ‘bold companions’ to support you in exploring the world, and the Skoda lineup at Vertu offers plenty of wonderful companions to choose from.
Why Choose a New Skoda?
- Reliability – Frequently rated high for dependability, Skoda tops the charts for high mileage, often selected as the car of choice for taxi drivers.
- Distinctive appearance – A signature black grille, confident stance and sleek yet solid build set a Skoda apart from other cars on the road.
- Fuel, Hybrid and Electric – A range of options is available across the line-up, with full electric, hybrid, petrol and diesel cars all on offer.
- Value for money – Often regarded as ‘a lot of car for your money,’ the balance of reliability and high specification gives Skoda a huge step up against the competition.
Popular Skoda Models in the UK
Skoda Fabia
The Skoda Fabia has enjoyed 25 years of continuous success in the UK, cementing itself as a cornerstone of the Skoda range and even gaining a name for itself through rallying.
Compact enough to avoid struggling in city streets, but roomy enough for regular rear seat passengers, the Fabia is suited to first-car buyers and city-based shoppers alike.
Inside, many will be overjoyed to see some physical buttons still in place, with a screen that offers handy features such as always up-to-date maps and traffic information, as well as the ability to use voice control, all while remaining at a tasteful and unintrusive size.
The Fabia is the most compact option available from Skoda, but comes in the choice of a hatchback or estate (older generations), so everyone can enjoy its priceless Czech charm.

Skoda Scala
The next step up from the Fabia, the Skoda Scala serves as Skoda’s answer to the Volkswagen Golf.
It’s more substantial than the Fabia, offering 467-litres of boot space compared to the Fabia hatch’s 330-litres, and providing more passenger space, making it a good choice for families with children, particularly those still in car seats.
Praised for its versatility, the trusty Scala is built to grow alongside you, no matter what life throws at you. It also features state-of-the-art driver assistance systems and up to nine airbags, ensuring that all journeys are as safe as can be.

Skoda Octavia
In appearance, the Skoda Octavia – Skoda's best-selling car - naturally carries the distinctive face of the Skoda family, maintaining a familiar, yet timeless appearance.
Within, you are treated to ample storage (made even more convenient with folding seats), high-quality materials and the option of heated and massaging seats.
Comfortable enough for five six-foot passengers to be accommodated comfortably, along with all the ‘Simply Clever’ touches you could ever need, the car cements itself as a robust family companion, prepared for every occasion, including long road trips.
A popular alternative to an SUV, the Octavia allows you all the comforts of a larger car without the imposing size. Also available in a hatchback or estate form, there’s a version to suit everyone’s needs.

Skoda Superb
A fluid roof line, aerodynamic wing mirrors and up to 19-inch wheels give the Skoda Superb a sleek, dynamic and sophisticated feel.
Underneath its suave appearance, the choice of petrol, diesel or hybrid engine is all yours.
No matter what lies beneath the bonnet, the Superb offers you the ability to customise the vehicle’s handling, from Comfort, all the way to Sport – but if that’s not enough for you, there’s an even more striking Sportline edition.
Like many of Skoda’s models, the Superb is available in a hatchback or estate body shape, but both are generously roomy, fitting five passengers and plenty of luggage comfortably.

Skoda Kamiq
The Skoda Kamiq is a small crossover SUV, perfect for those looking for a spacious city car with a little more space and ride height than a hatchback.
Robust and ready to explore, but steeped in signature Skoda styling, the compact SUV has all the features needed for everyday life as well as family adventures, such as roof rails, easy ways to secure cargo and the option of a tow bar.
The Kamiq is robust and confident, without sacrificing aesthetics. It also received one of the highest Euro NCAP safety ratings on record, with a score of 96 in the Adult Occupant Protection category.
The high safety rating, driver assistance features, and the eCall system (communicating the car’s position, location and passenger number in the event of an accident) make the Kamiq a reliable and trustworthy companion.

Skoda Karoq
The Skoda Karoq is a medium SUV that - unlike the Kamiq - offers the choice of both front-wheel and all-wheel drive, making it a good choice for those who may need the occasional off-road excursion.
Angular wheel arches and protective sills beneath them give the car added resilience to the elements while exploring, and the car comes well prepared with a dedicated off-road mode and even a snow mode, adjusting accelerator response among other settings.
With VarioFlex seats, allowing them to fold forward individually, or be removed entirely, storage can be increased to a remarkable 1,810-litres, ensuring the Karoq can face any situation thrown at it.
.
.
Skoda Elroq
To put it simply, the Skoda Elroq is an electric Karoq – if you want the practicality, size and appearance of the Karoq, with zero tailpipe emissions, you’re in luck.
It is the first Skoda model to reflect their Modern Solid design language, incorporating clean, sleek minimalism while still being distinctly Skoda.
With DC fast-charging rates of up to 175kW, the battery in the 85x Elroq charges from 10% to 80% in just 28 minutes, with smaller variants charging in 25 minutes or less, meaning you’re always ready to get back on the road.
There’s also the very impressive battery pre-heating feature, ensuring optimal charging efficiency and extended battery life even when temperatures plummet.
.
.
Skoda Enyaq
The Skoda Enyaq stands out from the rest of the range with a reinterpreted face, replacing the traditional grille with an aerodynamic, glossy black ‘Tech Deck Face,’ housing functional features such as the front radar.
The commitment to sleek and smooth lines gives the all-electric SUV an impressive range, with Skoda claiming it can reach over 360-miles (WLTP) on a single charge.
With a huge number of assistive features, striking looks and all the space you could ever need, the Enyaq places itself firmly in the competition between high-specification electric SUVs.
.
.
Skoda Kodiaq
The Skoda Kodiaq is the biggest Skoda you can buy, with seven seats on offer and up to 2,105-litres of cargo space available with the seats folded down.
Despite its size, the design preserves that unmistakable Skoda charm, retaining sleek lines, a familiar grille and of course, all the handy hidden features.
The perfect companion for bigger families who need extra cargo capacity, the car treats passengers to a high-quality interior, charging ports and plenty of smart storage solutions, along with a smooth and efficient ride.
Like others in the range, the Kodiaq is produced with sustainability in mind – with the interior featuring natural wool, 100% recycled polyester and even seats tanned with byproducts from coffee bean production.
