The lockdown ended for us with the arrival of something exciting from Skoda: the all-new 2021 Octavia Laurin & Klement Edition. It’s not really new, though, since it was actually shown globally at the end of 2019, but considering all that has gone down since then, I think we can forgive Skoda for a slight delay. It’s larger, feature-packed, and feels more luxurious on the inside, but for a premium. So has it got enough bang to turn heads away from the more popular SUV choices at this new price point?
