As its 2020 new model roll out continues, ŠKODA Australia has enhanced its online ordering and purchasing capability.

"This is a logical extension of ŠKODA's growing list of customer innovations, all designed to make European car ownership more accessible and affordable," said ŠKODA Australia Director Michael Irmer.
"In the last month ŠKODA has introduced the 4-Year Service Pack for used car customers, extending the existing three or five-year new car service plans, which are taken up by almost 60% of customers.
"Since the outset of 2018 when ŠKODA became the first European brand in Australia to introduce permanent five-year full factory warranty, our brand has come to be seen as a desirable alternative to more established names."
Service Packs represent an average saving of 30% across most models and cover all items in the service schedule. ŠKODA Roadside Assistance is renewed with each completed scheduled service. The packs are fully transferable on sale of the vehicle, enhancing its value.
Mr Irmer said further refinements to ŠKODA's online purchasing capability will be extended shortly as the brand gears up to meet renewed customer demand.
"In our biggest new product year since entering the Australian market in 2007, this latest cost of ownership innovation is another SKODA measure intended to make European motoring affordable to more people," Mr Irmer said.
"In the past three weeks, customer orders have been up by 15% over the corresponding period in 2019."
Until June 30, ŠKODA customers can get a 1.9% per annum comparison rate on selected 2020 and 2019 build ŠKODA vehicles.
Having released Kodiaq RS seven-seat performance SUV in March, the Superb Scout arrives this week.
It is followed shortly by the refreshed Karoq SUV, the 110TSI 1.4-litre front drive variant now joined by the long-awaited 140TSI Sportline. The 110TSI features as standard the Varioflex configuration that enables the complete removal of the back seats. The Sportline has all-wheel-drive and a 2.0-litre EA888 turbo petrol engine good for 140kW/320Nm.
June also sees the arrival of the new Scala hatchback. The Scala will be available from launch in Monte Carlo trim and specification. It will be joined in August by the final model in ŠKODA's SUV line-up - the Kamiq. The compact crossover is ŠKODA's first entrant in this segment.
The new generation Octavia range arrives early in 2021.
