The Czech brand introduced the Octavia Scout in 2020, along with the rest of the Octavia range in a completely online event due to the world pandemic situation.

Skoda introduced the Scout trim level on the Octavia range in 2007, and due to its commercial success, it was introduced on its successors.

Skoda introduced the Octavia's third generation in 2012 as a hatchback and a station wagon and three years later brought the Scout version for the latter.

Skoda introduced a facelift for the entire Octavia range in 2008, but the times were harsh, so it waited a year more to unveil the crossover version, named Scout.

Hitting the showrooms in 2007, the redesigned Octavia was meant to improve its off-road capabilities and it was produced under the nameplate of Octavia Scout.
