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.
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.
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.
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 ...
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.
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.
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».
