The Škoda Scala is a small family car or compact hatchback (C-segment) manufactured by Czech automaker Škoda Auto. The car is intended to fit between the Fabia and the Octavia, and to be a competitor to the cars in the C-segment hatchback segment. The Scala was unveiled in December 2018. An online configurator was accessible in January 2019, and sales officially began in May 2019. Earlier, it was assumed that the new car would be called Felicia, Garde, Spaceback or Popular, however the name Scala was announced on October 15, 2018. Scala means "stairs" or "ladder" in Latin, according to the car maker it presents a big step forward in the compact car segment. This name has already appeared several times in the past, including the Renault Scala, which was sold between 2012 and 2017, and the Zastava Skala, a small family car between 1971 and 2008. The Scala has a very similar appearance and proportions to the Skoda Rapid Spaceback which was manufactured in the Czech Republic from 2012 to 2019.
