Since the aim of the Skoda Kodiaq Scout is to help drivers with their offloading adventures, or, more likely, traversing muddy fields and country lanes, the vehicle features an off-road mode that will adapt the engine, chassis and brake settings to ensure smooth progress.

There’s also a hill descent assist feature for those steep downhill slopes that will control the car to a safe speed while the rough road package, fitted as standard, includes tough protectors added underneath the car and wheel arches.

The Scout models have been a popular choice for the Skoda range since they were unveiled in 2007 with enhanced off-road abilities and a rugged design; the new model continues that tradition.

The Skoda Kodiaq Scout is available to order now and costs from £32,330.
