Skoda Octavia Laurin & Klement goes on sale – price from £26,410

The range-topping Skoda Octavia Laurin & Klement has now gone on sale in the UK, adding lots of extras to the Octavia at prices starting from £26,410.

Skoda may no longer be a bargain basement heaven of skips on wheels, but you still get more value for money than you would with a VW version of a Skoda model.

A good case in point is the Octavia, based on the underpinnings of the Golf, which has slightly more staid styling than the Golf but does offer more for the money.

Now you can opt for an Octavia that throws almost all Skoda’s options in to the mix with the Skoda Octavia Laurin & Klement going on sale in the UK at prices from £26,140 to 28,665.

The Laurin & Klement builds on the spec of the current range-topping Octavia Elegance by adding 18″ Turbine alloys, Adaptive Bi-Xenon headlights, LED rear lights, Alcantara and Leather, electric drivers seat, Adaptive Cruise, Lane ASsist, Park Assist and cornering fogs, mas well as a few titivations to the trim and ‘Laurin & Klement; badges.

Prices for the petrol versions starts at £26,570 for the 1.8-litre TSI 180PS hatch (and the estate version costing £27,375) and the diesel-engined Octavia starts at £26,410 for the  2.0-litre TDI CR 150PS DPF. The most expensive version is the 2.0-litre TDI CR 150PS 4×4 DPF at £28,665.

The Skoda Octavia Laurin & Klement is now available from Skoda’s UK dealers.
