The Czech folks at Skoda released official pricing information for the third-generation Octavia in the UK. The new sedan will go on sale on March 16 with prices starting at £15,990.
Under the bonnet, we will find a 1.2-liter TSI engine producing 104hp, a 1.6-liter TDI with the same output but also a more powerful 2.0-liter TDI producing 148 horses.

If the cheapest version packs the 1.2-liter along with a manual transmission, the range-topping Octavia Elegance gets the 2.0-liter diesel powerplant and a dual-clutch DSG transmission.
