It’s already the roomiest car in its class but Skoda claims the new model has even more internal space.
New electrified powertrains will join the line alongside traditional engine choices, and there’s an overhauled interior as well.
One thing we don’t yet know is how much the styling has been updated – the pictures Skoda has released show a heavily disguised model.
The highest output petrol engine is a 2.0-litre unit promising 187bhp and is available exclusively with all-wheel drive and the auto gearbox. A plug-in hybrid option will also be available using a 1.4-litre petrol engine and electric motor with two outputs of 201bhp and 242bhp.
