Skoda Fabia Scout

Trying to satisfy the most compact car market, Skoda starts to repeat. In fact, production of a new universal Fabia Scout is no justification, it would be enough Fabia Combi, because the difference between them is minimal. The first thing you will notice - plastic edging the bottom of the car and painted «aluminum» bottom of the rear bumper.

Do not expect that the Skoda Fabia Scout system was full of drive, so, despite the similarity in the processing of car [Audi] Allroad, Czech novelty only for urban roads. Another «difference» of conventional universal steel 16-inch wheels, Arktos, created specifically for this model. If you prefer, you can even install the 17-inch wheels. Interior Skoda Fabia Scout also does not offer anything original, to distinguish him from another salon Fabia can be embroidered logos Scout and steel pedals with rubber pads anti.

Skoda Fabia Scout

The new Skoda Fabia Scout universal four engines are available - two petrol and two diesel. 1.4 liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 86 hp on average spends 6.5 litres/100 km, and 1.6 liter (105 hp) - 6,9 l/100 km. The most economical are still diesel units: 1.4 liters (80 hp) consumes an average of 4.6 litres/100 km, and 1.9 liter (105 hp) - 4,9 l/100 km. Both diesel engine can be equipped with micro-filter.

Photographers and film-spies to test almost ready for serial production prototype Skoda Superb in the body estate. Novelty called Superb Kombi debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, while sales in Europe will be in the first months of 2010. From "Parental Concern Volkswagen station wagon receive the broad range of engines including 1.4-liter TSI in versions from 125 to 170 hp and a number of turbo-diesel engines, developing from 105 to 170 hp They will be equipped with five-or six-speed transmission.

Skoda Octavia
Remember the bright yellow "charged" hatchback Seat Leon Cupra? Causing appearance, fine motor, hazard controllability, tenacious brakes - this drayversky car, which was supposed to stay in our garage until the end of September. But, apparently, not destiny. "Cuprite" in urgent need of representation. And for good ...

"Seatovskoe" place in the garage it was decided to take a more practical car, which is not such a manic passion devours gasoline, in whose cabin noise is not as if the factory forgot to install noise insulation, and where you do not feel every pavement cracks. On the replacement of "Cupra" came the updated sedan Skoda Octavia, which is produced in the company of the group Volkswagen in Kaluga.


So, we received the "Octavia" light beige, with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine capacity of 122 horse power and six-speed manual gearbox. Complete set - basic. It includes air conditioning, MP3-sound, light and rain sensors, on-board computer, electric mirrors with heating, as well as electric front-glass-lifts.


Skoda Octavia

In our machine added options like rear parktronika, stabilization system, fog lamps, lit turns, front armrest, tire pressure sensor, 16-inch rims, and so on. At the base of this machine is 695 thousand rubles, and any "????????" increased the price of the Octavia at almost 100 thousand rubles.

First impressions? Silence. At idle the engine in the passenger does not hear in the first few minutes of acquaintance, after setting up the mirrors and seat, the hand is drawn to key in the ignition to start the motor again. Stopped the tachometer needle that are suspended just below a thousand revolutions per minute, indicating that the engine does work.


But if the "static" in the cabin is quiet, then disperse from under the bonnet is distributed growl, as if there is not a normal engine with the "average" 122 force, but something much more "evil". In addition to that on rough asphalt begin to plague too loud tires, even though it is, in principle, the only extraneous noise penetrating into the car. And the creaking of any irregularities on the back of the right stanchion padding begins frankly annoying ...

Skoda Octavia

But this pain in the neck "cricket" the only thing that I do not like in the cabin "Octavio". Otherwise, the procedure is complete: perfect ergonomics, space, as if this is not a golf class at all, a nice soft plastic center console, good visibility. Comfortable, quiet, but dullish ... No designer sophistications.

After some time, drew attention to the fact that the Tape recorders, even though the "basic" car, a very good sound, but when switching to the next station or the track on the disk volume is slightly priglushaetsya.

Skoda Octavia

Exterior updated Skoda Octavia in comparison with the predecessor has changed too much: There are new headlights head light with "inlaid" model, other bumpers and fenders, as well as a slightly modified rear lights, in which the central strip has become transparent and not red, as earlier. That's all. Changes little, so far to distinguish the updated version of the previous car is quite difficult.

As the car behaves on the road and how to communicate with him every day, we will soon explain. "Octavia" is in our garage a month. Time to get enough.

Skoda Yeti
The company Skoda, which was not so long ago, reported the launch of a new production of SUV Yeti, on this occasion said that the car will be collected on a CKD plant in Aurangabad. Skoda Yeti in Europe will be on sale in September this year, while sales in India scheduled from January 2010, after the auto show in New Delhi.

«On startup Skoda Yeti into production, we will announce later this year, after a feasibility study on the feasibility of manufacturing and assembly of SUV in India» - said the head of department of the company Skoda.

India - a developing market in the first half of the year, Skoda sold there for more than 6 500 vehicles and is expected cho, this figure will only grow. At present, India has already produced Octavia, Superb and Laura. In addition hatchback Fabia, also produced in India in Chakan, only at the factory Volkswagen.

«The Indian market is very attractive for Skoda, and we will only increase the number of its missions in that country. By 2010, their number should amount to 75 instead of 61 »- said the company Skoda.

In all, Skoda Yeti is proposed with five engine options, two petrol and three diesel issuing of 103 hp up to 167 hp (77 ... 125 kW). 1.2-liter TSI with front-wheel drive - the smallest unit dippazona proposed. The peak, which is a Full-power 2.0-liter TDI CR DPF, power, right, 167 «horses».

The concept model is based on the series production Octavia Combi [estate] and is powered by an electric motor delivering a constant power of 60 kW / 80-hp and a maximum output of 85 kW / 114-hp.

The electricity for the Octavia Green E Line is supplied by a modern lithium-ion battery. With a range-per-charge of 140 kilometers (87 miles), the Skoda Octavia Green E Line comfortably meets the requirements of most everyday commuters in Europe. Located under the middle and rear parts of the floor and extending partly into the luggage compartment, the 26.5 kWh battery is made up of 180 lithium-ion cells (diameter 150 mm, length 650 mm) and weighs about 315 kilograms. However, the battery has almost no impact on the volume of the passenger and luggage compartments. The Octavia Green E Line is fitted with five comfortable seats, and its passenger compartment is identical with that of the Octavia Combi with a combustion engine.

The car is finished in a Pearl White exterior color and features chrome-trim on both the front and rear of the vehicle as well as on the wheels creating a contrast with the glossy black roof with integrated energy-generating photovoltaic panels.

Motivation is provided a 26.5 kWh lithium-ion battery which sends power to an electric motor that produces 85 kW (114 hp / 116 PS) and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque.

Mobility for people and clean cars for the environment - these are Škoda's commitments. Mobility without emissions is the future. "The Octavia Green E Line embodies the values of the brand absolutely perfectly - the vehicle combines the desire for individual mobility with our environmental goals", said Škoda Auto BOD Chairman Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland.

The Green E Line concept is based on the Škoda Octavia Combi. With its modular chassis design, this series-production car is the ideal option in terms of arranging the batteries, electronic control units and the electric engine with its constant power of 60 kW and max. power of 85 kW. Available right after the start (as is typical of this type of drive), the maximum torque of 270 Nm gives the car enough power for sharp acceleration and a good amount of agility and responsiveness, which the driver will appreciate mainly in busy city traffic.

The electricity for the Octavia Green E Line is supplied by a modern lithium-ion battery.
