Apart from the updates to the exterior and improved driving dynamics, 2024 Scala offers several changes in its cabin highlighting sustainability.
Skoda has intentionally added more recycled materials; this is to create a greener and environment-friendly design.
Hemp and kenaf plant fibers have replaced traditional fabrics like the door panels, roof lining etc.
The leather used for seat upholstery, carpets and floor mats also become part of sustainability as it is made from recycled material.
This commitment extends even to the functional aspects of Scala which has a washer bottle and wheel arch liners made from recycled plastic.
Technologically, the Scala has a digital instrument cluster as standard along with central touchscreen available in two versions.
Up to four USB-C ports are available in the cabin thus supporting connectivity needs of modern drivers.
Only petrol versions are presented in the 2024 Scala’s engine lineup that covers a wide range of power options to satisfy different performance needs.
The entry-level vehicle is 94bhp one litre three cylinder engine surrounded by a five speed manual gearbox – an uncommon setup in today’s automobile realm that enhances driving treatment.
Moving to the higher 114bhp version of this engine and arriving at a £23,070 entry price brings along with it manual transmission as standard while there is an option available for a seven-speed DSG automatic which raises that by £1,395.
For those demanding the most powerful solution, a 1.5-litre four cylinder unit developing 148bhp is available and again comes with standard manual gearbox but can be replaced by an automatic seven speed powertrain if so desired for at additional cost of £l350.
Safety has been highlighted to Skoda, and the Facelifted Scala does a lot of standard safety equipment.

Six airbags are standard on the Scala, with an optional safety pack that raises it to nine.
A safety tech feature called Crew Protect is an optional pre-crash system which readies the cabin for unavoidable impacts by tightening seat belts, closing windows and improving overall occupant security.
When it comes to innovation, the tailgate is opened by a foot gesture – handy for drivers with at least one hand full.
The Virtual Pedal is an optional accessory of the Scala’s electric tailgate package.
Skoda is genuinely committed to the Simply Clever driving principle, as various features of car design such as an ice-scraper on the inside of a fuel filler flap and ticket holder seen in front windscreen vindicate.
New features include smartphone storage pockets on the front seat backs, and a removable box on the rear of central tunnel which make Scala not only more practical but also allows for user-friendly design.
