Skoda launches £2000 deposit offer for new Octavia

Published 22 March 2021

Skoda has launched a £2000 deposit contribution scheme for the new Octavia, when you buy via heycar and fund the purchase on Solutions PCP.

The offer is available on orders placed by 31 March and offered on SE First Edition, SE L and SE L First Edition Skoda Octavia models. As part of the offer, Skoda will pay £2000 towards your finance deposit on PCP, while heycar will chip in an additional £500.

The deal includes three years' roadside assistance and a £159 service plan that covers the first two consecutive services (limited to one oil service and one oil and inspection service with a pollen filter). The PCP offer is 4.1 per cent APR Representative.

So, how does it work? Simply enquire about the offer through heycar, which will then put you in touch with up to four of your nearest Skoda dealers.

At the end of the agreement you can choose to pay the optional final payment and own the vehicle; return the vehicle (subject to excess mileage and fair wear and tear charges) or replace/part exchange the vehicle.

The latest-generation Skoda Octavia moved upmarket, cementing itself as a proper rival against the likes of the Audi A4. With both being in the Volkswagen Group, it’s difficult to tell them in part in terms of interior quality and you get more space for your money in the Octavia.

While the Skoda Octavia is posher than before, it continues to hold the title of the most practical car in its class - with practicality rivalling the likes of the Volkswagen Passat and Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport.

All models get LED headlights, Virtual Cockpit with a 10.25-inch display and rear parking sensors. Go for a high-spec SE L model and it feels particularly plush, with highlights including microsuede seats, adaptive cruise control and ambient interior lighting.

The top-of-the-range SE L First Edition is similarly equipped, with the addition of an electrically-adjustable driver's seat (including lumbar support), LED interior lighting and blind-spot detection.
