Skoda Lease Deals: Is their line-up the best value for money?

SKODAs UK line-up is vast and competitive, but is it best value for money?

SKODA may not be as premium as Mercedes-Benz, or as flashy as newcomers like Jaecoo, but if you’re in the market for a new car lease, we dare you to do better when it comes to value for money.

With nine models in the current UK lineup, SKODA offers everything from practical estates (SKODA Superb), to family-friendly hatchbacks (SKODA Octavia), to eco-friendly SUVs (SKODA Enyaq).

There’s plenty of options to choose from that’ll be kind to your wallet.

But which SKODA lease deal is best value for money, and how does it compare with market rivals?

We’ve done the painstaking research, so you don’t have to.

Why choose a SKODA car lease deal in 2025?

SKODA’s journey hasn’t always been the smoothest of rides.

In fact, in years past this Czech manufacturer has been left in the dust by some of its closest rivals.

Cut to today, however, and SKODA is enjoying a well-deserved resurgence.

It’s transformed its image from a budget brand, to one that boasts Volkswagen Group quality, offering premium engineering without the inflated cost.

And its wide selection of cars offers something for every lifestyle.

The complete UK SKODA lineup

SKODA Fabia

Fabia? Try fabulous.

SKODA missed a trick when it came to naming this bold little hatchback.

Because whether you’re looking for a casual city car, or a runabout that copes with going further afield, the Fabia claims to do it all.

Now on its fourth generation, it shares a platform with the Audi A1, SEAT Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo. And while not as flashy as the Polo, or as premium as the A1, it’s a very nice little car.

The new design is more aerodynamic than in previous generations, with the extended roof spoiler adding more sporty flair than we generally see in the SKODA lineup.

And honestly, we’re big fans.

But the inside is just as good. A light, spacious cabin, virtual cockpit and generous boot all make it feel like a much more expensive car than it actually is.

The Fabia is giving us practicality. It’s giving us versatility. And it’s giving it to us in a very attractive package.

It’s young, it’s fresh, it’s affordable.

Because with prices running from £20,515 to £25,415 OTR depending on your trim and spec level, a hatchback this good is hard to resist.

We might even say it’s the new Polo.

Give it a bit of time and we reckon it could certainly outcompete it at this price range.

SKODA Scala

If the Fabia is giving us sporty flair, then the SKODA Scala is definitely its more sedate and sensible sibling.

But then, it is SKODA’s answer to the C-segment hatchback class: competing with the likes of the Mercedes A- Class, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf.

It’s only been around since 2019, but it nicely bridges the gap between supermini and family car, offering impressive space and practicality without the hefty price-tag that can come with bigger SUVs.

With a generous 467-litre boot, the Scala provides more cargo space than many cars a size bigger.

Inside, you'll find genuinely comfortable seating for five adults, with rear passengers getting proper legroom rather than the cramped experience common in this segment.

The interior feels premium with soft-touch materials and SKODA's intuitive infotainment system as standard.

It's perfect for small families who want space without the bulk, or anyone who needs proper boot capacity for hobbies, shopping, or weekend getaways.

Prices start at £23,500 for the basic spec, making it a very economical choice indeed.

SKODA Octavia

As family cars go, the Octavia is up there with the best of them.

Available as either a hatchback, or an estate, it has saloon-like looks that somewhat disguise the fact that it’s based on the much-loved Volkswagen Golf.

But the Octavia takes that reputation and success and builds on it for a more competitive price.

And its biggest selling point?

It’s got to be the sheer amount of space on offer. The hatchback version has a generous 1555L of boot space, (but you can max out to 1700L if you go for the estate and fold the rear seats down).

Even going for the hatch, you’re getting more volume for your buck, beating out the Vauxhall Astra, Mercedes A- Class, and the Toyota Corolla for boot space.

But the practical interior doesn’t skimp on aesthetics: the Octavia is suitably sleek and comfortable.

With special touches like LED ambient lighting, a CANTON sound system, and heads-up display included, it feels a lot more premium than previous iterations.

And that’s not the only tech you’ll enjoy in the Octavia. A 13-inch touchscreen display, wireless charging, and voice control are all features that come as standard.

Entry-level models start from £27,610 OTR for the hatchback, and £28,590 OTR for the estate. That’s fitting very comfortably under the threshold for the expensive vehicle tax that’s plaguing so many of us this year.

It’s nimbly undercutting the VW Golf too, making the Octavia a true bargain when it comes to value for money.

SKODA Kamiq

What can we say about the Kamiq that you don’t already know?

It’s the smallest SUV in the SKODA lineup, but that what it lacks in gargantuan size it more than makes up for in other areas.

Like a welcoming, comfortable and surprisingly spacious cabin.

It may not be up there with the Kodiaq, but even tall passengers won’t be lacking for leg and headroom.

Its boot capacity doesn’t quite match the likes of the Renault Captur or the Nissan Juke, but its clever storage and cargo solutions definitely give the Kamiq an edge.

Where some of its subcompact rivals have a bolder, funkier design, the Kamiq’s styling gives off a more robust, mature vibe. We’re pitching it as the no thrills approach, it simply doing what it says on the tin.  

And we love it for that.

But how does it work out when it comes to value-for-money?

The 2023 facelift has made it a more luxe -offering, with redesigned seats, dashboard, digital displays and a virtual cockpit.

And this is reflected in the price.

The most basic spec Kamiq on offer comes in at a recommended £24,975 OTR, which is more expensive than the lowest spec Nissan Juke and Renault Captur – though not by miles.

The Kamiq is slightly less competitive than in previous years. But this is just an indication of how good the subcompact crossover class has become.

We say the Kamiq still makes for a very good lease car, and at a reasonable price.

SKODA Karoq

Why be content with one SUV, when you can have two in the lineup? (Or three, or four? And so, it goes on).

The Karoq is SKODA’s answer to the demand for mid-size SUVs, which is already a crowded class.

It’s up against direct rivals like the Nissan Qashqai, Peugeot 3008, and the SEAT Ateca, a distant cousin built on the same MQB A1 platform.

But if you’re searching for a well-rounded family car, the Karoq is definitely ticking boxes. With 521L of boot space, creative storage solutions, and panoramic sunroof, it’s a practical and spacious offering.

It’s not as eye-catching as the 3008, but the basic spec Karoq is a perfect canvas for any optional design packages to elevate the look.

Though, that will of course mean paying more for the privilege.

But if critics says the Karoq lacks personality, we’d argue it’s simply a more refined design which focuses more on sensible aesthetics than showy flair.

And that’s generally what you want from a family car.

Pricewise, how competitive is it?

The recommended OTR for the entry-level spec Karoq is £30, 940 – so it’s coming in cheaper than the 3008, but a little more expensive than the entry-level Acenta Qashqai, and the SEAT Ateca.

And really, we’d say the Qashqai is the family-favourite to beat. It’s consistently hit top spots on the UK’s best-selling car list, year on year.

But we reckon the Karoq could give it a run for its money.

SKODA Kodiaq

This is one versatile SUV offering, available as a five or seven-seater – whatever suits your lifestyle.

But it’s the seven-seater option which really shines. There aren’t many on the market that are such good value as the Kodiaq.

It promises incredible comfort at a fraction of the cost.

And looking at rivals like the Volvo EX90, Hyundai Santa Fe and Peugeot 5008, you truly want it to follow through.

While it’s been billed as being a more affordable option, you needn’t worry about it looking cheap. On the outside, the design is a little reserved but we say there’s nothing wrong with going simple and refined when it comes to looks.

Inside, some high-quality finishes throughout the interior elevate the Kodiaq above some of its rivals.

And the space on offer throughout is generous as you’d expect from a seven-seater boasting ‘first-class comfort’.

Cargo space gives you a stonking 2,035 litres, so it’s giving more premium models like the Land Rover Discovery and Audi Q7 a run for their money.

Impressive? We’d say so.

With an OTR £41,700 for the lowest-spec seven-seat version, you’ll just be eligible to pay out on expensive car tax. But, compared to the starting prices for more premium competitors, the Kodiaq is still undoubtedly a steal.

SKODA Superb

Is it just us, or does no one sing the praises of the humble estate car anymore?

We’re taking this moment to shout out the SKODA Superb as it rightly deserves. Yes, it’s one of the most recognisable models in the lineup – and has been since it launched in 2001.

But, the Superb is such a good car that it really stands up all on its own.

In fact, we’d say it’s one of the best on the market, easily rivalling the Peugeot 308 SW estate, Volkswagen Passat, and Toyota Corolla Touring.

With a massive 690L of boot space, the Superb is bigger and better than ever.

But fold the seats down and you get even more for your money, with a truly gobsmacking luggage capacity of 1, 920 litres.

We’ll leave you to work out exactly how many cups of tea you could get in there.

It's not all about luggage capacity. The Superb is well-equipped bit of kit coming with a newly re-designed interior.

Yes, Apple car play comes as standard – which let’s be honest, is more or less a given in this day and age – but the virtual cockpit and free-standing 13-inch touchscreen are impressively intuitive, with highly customisable menu-systems.

Talk about smart driving.

And with starter specs going for a tidy £35,925 OTR, the Superb is a smart choice for your wallet too.

SKODA Elroq

For a very sensible car, there is something about the SKODA Elroq that hints at something a little fantastical.

It’s not the steady aesthetic, or the capable infotainment system (we’re sure it could blast the Lord of the Rings OST admirably).

It might just be the name.

Elroq is striking a little bit close to Balrog for us.

Or, it could be how SKODA’s newest electric SUV might just be such an affordable entry into electric driving.

But this is real, not the stuff of fantasy.

This compact electric crossover offers impressive range, rapid charging capabilities, and all the features you'd expect from SKODA, but in a fully electric package.

Built on Volkswagen Group's modern electric platform, the Elroq delivers refined electric driving with multiple battery options to suit different needs and budgets.

The interior maintains SKODA's reputation for space efficiency, offering more room than its compact exterior dimensions suggest.

What sets the Elroq apart from other electric SUVs like the Ford Explorer and Kia EV3, is SKODA's practical approach to EV ownership at an affordable price.

You get thoughtful storage solutions, intuitive controls, and the brand's famous attention to real-world usability. With 339 miles (WLTP comb) range on the highest spec.

It's perfect for those ready to make the switch to electric driving without compromising on the space and practicality that make SKODA special.

And with an OTR of £31,510 for starting spec, that bit of special stretches just a bit further than the rival Ford Explorer.

The Elroq, then, is definitely good bang for your buck.

SKODA Enyaq

Every brand has a flagship electric SUV these days. The Enyaq is SKODAs.

And it’s done a pretty good job at proving going green doesn’t mean compromising on space or practicality.

Rivalling the likes of the Kia EV6, VW ID.4, and the Tesla Model Y, it’s that classic SKODA practicality that really makes the Enyaq shine in comparison.

You get a 585-litre boot (larger than many petrol SUVs), genuine five-seat comfort, and features like heated seats and steering wheel as standard.

The spacious interior feels more like a premium SUV than it actually is, with high-quality materials, advanced infotainment, and SKODA's clever storage solutions throughout.

But how does it do as an electric car?

The WLTP Comb range is up to 344 miles on the top spec, so it’s not the best on the market – but it’s still a very decent offering for an SUV this size.

But if high range is what you’re after, that top spec will cost you in extra taxes.

The entry-level Enyaq has an OTR of £39,010 which is barely under the threshold on the new expensive car tax.

So, if you want a better spec model, you’ll be paying more for it. As is the case with most EVs these days.

If you’re happy to stick with entry-level spec, you’ll still be getting more for your money than the Kia EV6 and other rivals, while slipping neatly under that £40,000 threshold.

The Enyaq proves that electric family cars can be both environmentally conscious and utterly practical, making it perfect for families ready to embrace electric driving without any compromises.
