Skoda will be launching special Tour de France editions of the Yeti, Octavia and Superb, but only in the UK.

These limited models mark the first three stages of the tour, which starts in early July.

Only 198 cars will be built – one for every person entering in the event. These vehicles will only be available in the UK and France’s national colours, in other words, red, white or blue.

The Yeti limited edition is based on the 2,0-litre TDI 4×4, but additional kit includes keyless entry, an internal bike rack and satellite navigation.

The Octavia, bases on the Estate 2,0-litre TDI 4×4 model, boasts a roof-mounted bike carrier and rood bars.

The Superb, which features the same engine and 4WD system as the models mentioned above, comes with the same additional features as the other two models, as well as a space saver spare wheel.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
