SE Technology is our pick of the range because this builds on SE trim by adding leather upholstery, electrically adjustable/ heated front seats, privacy glass and in-built sat-nav. It's particularly intended for company car buyers, but private buyers should be able to order one by talking to their Skoda retailer or checking out New Car Buyer on What Car?.

This 148bhp TDI is the pick of the diesel engines. It's much punchier than the lacklustre 1.6 TDI and is actually cheaper as a company car, thanks to better CO2 emissions. It comes with a manual or automatic gearbox and is a good bet if you tow a caravan.
