The Spaceback will also offer new trim and fresh upholstery materials. The firm’s range of Simply Clever features will include a dual-level boot floor, an ice scraper inside the fuel cap, plus a host of holders, nets and hooks.

The engine range will comprise of four petrol and two diesel units, while a GreenLine version will produce road-tax busting emissions of 99g/km.

Skoda will also launch its facelifted Yeti in Germany, which will come in two forms – the Yeti and the Yeti Outdoor.

The former will feature body coloured mouldings, while the latter’s black plastics will lend it a more rugged look. Both will feature a lightly revised interior, with new fabrics, and restyled alloys.
