To recap
This plug-in hybrid might not be a super exciting car, but it’s got some super aspects about it: it’s roomy, it’s comfortable, there’s a lot of tech options, and the electric-only range is practical. Overall, if you’re looking for a practical family hatchback then Skoda sits well among the VW Group’s price listings. The iV model adds an inevitable premium over the petrol/diesel-only selection, but with genuine practicality added as a result that’ll pay its worth back for the right kind of owner.
