Skoda Octavia

Economy: 62.8mpg, CO2/road tax: 119g/km/£30

Skoda Octavia

Can a versatile estate match the strong eco credentials of the latest hatches? The Skoda Octavia can. Fitted with the perky 1.6-litre TDI engine, the load carrier blends 62.8mpg economy with a 605-litre boot. This increases to a van-like 1,655 litres if you fold the rear seats. 

On the move, the Skoda mixes cornering composure with great comfort, while the high-spec cabin rivals premium models for quality. Add first-rate customer service, and the car looks great value, starting at £16,545 for the base S.
