CZECH car brand Skoda is adding to its range of new Octavia models with versions specifically aimed at business users.

The Octavia SE Technology cars are designed especially with company car drivers in mind and come with two engine options with power outputs ranging from 115 to 150ps.

The petrol option is a 1.5 TSI 150ps while the diesel offering is a 2.0 TDI unit that develops 115ps. Both have six-speed manual gearboxes.

Standard equipment on the Octavia SE Technology models includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, two-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel, voice control and front and rear parking sensors with manoeuvre assist.

Connectivity features include Skoda's range-topping Columbus infotainment system with 10-inch touchscreen display and digital Virtual Cockpit.

The new Columbus system can now display navigation maps in a different level of zoom on either screen.

This new function can be adjusted via a touch slider located below the display on the centre console which can also be used to control the volume.

Prices for the SE Technology start from £22,410 with BiK taxation rated from 28 per cent for the 1.5 TSI 150ps hatch model.

Estate versions are priced from £23,290 for the 1.5 TSI model and £24,260 for the 2.0-litre diesel while the diesel hatch costs from £23,280.
