In the course of the model campaign, ŠKODA has consistently built up its
expertise in the all-wheel-drive sector over the last number of years. A total
of ten ŠKODA all-wheel-drive models or model variants are currently available.
In the compact SUV segment, the ŠKODA Yeti 4×4, Yeti Outdoor 4×4 and Yeti Monte
Carlo 4×4 all impress with their diverse capabilities. The heart of the brand,
the ŠKODA Octavia offers five variants with all-wheel drive in the compact
segment: Octavia 4×4, Octavia Combi 4×4, Octavia RS 4×4, Octavia Combi RS 4×4
and Octavia Scout.
In addition, the all-wheel-drive flagships, the ŠKODA Superb
4×4 and Superb Combi 4×4, are on sale. ŠKODA therefore has the most
comprehensive 4×4 range currently available in the compact and mid-size car
segment. In the coming years, the manufacturer will further strengthen its
all-wheel-drive expertise, and develop new segments within Sport Utility
Vehicles (SUV).
“The
ŠKODA all-wheel-drive range is stronger than ever before,” said ŠKODA CEO
Bernhard Maier. “Our all-wheel-drive models play an important role in ŠKODA’s
success. From 2008 to 2015, we rapidly built up the brand’s presence in the 4×4
sector and the sales of our 4×4 models tripled. We are now preparing for the
next phase of ŠKODA’s model campaign by expanding our SUV model range,” said
Maier.
Between the market launch of ŠKODA’s first all-wheel-drive model in 1999 – the
Octavia Combi 4×4 – and the end of 2015, ŠKODA delivered over 503,900 4×4
vehicles to customers. This corresponds to approximately 16 per cent of all
Octavias, Yetis and Superbs sold during this period.
The 1999 ŠKODA Octavia Combi 4×4 was the brand’s first model to feature
all-wheel drive as standard. This was followed by the ŠKODA Octavia 4×4
hatchback in 2002 and the ŠKODA Superb 4×4 in 2008. In 2009, ŠKODA launched the
Superb Combi 4×4 and the Yeti 4×4.
Between 2013 and 2015, during ŠKODA’s model campaign, the brand comprehensively
updated and/or redesigned as well as expanded its all-wheel-drive models.
Today, ŠKODA offers a total of ten model variants with all-wheel drive.
In particular, ŠKODA is performing strongly in the all-wheel-drive estate car
segment: in the six European markets of Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Poland,
Spain and Finland, the brand is the market leader within the all-wheel-drive
estate car class with the Octavia Combi 4×4 and the Superb Combi 4×4.
Cutting-edge all-wheel-drive technology based on an electronically
controlled multi-plate clutch
All of the brand’s current 4×4 models feature cutting-edge all-wheel-drive
technology based on an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. The
all-wheel-drive system is electronically controlled, precise and quick. The
control unit constantly calculates the ideal power distribution between the
front and rear axle. Loss of traction is therefore almost impossible. When
coasting or at low load, drive is via the front axle, which saves fuel.
All-wheel drive offers a wealth of advantages. Proportional power distribution
between front and rear axle results in excellent traction on almost any
surface.
Towing capacity, particularly on smooth roads, is increased
significantly – a fact that, among other things, is also appreciated by drivers
towing trailers or caravans. Pulling away is easier; hill climbs are also less
demanding. When accelerating, the vehicle reacts more quickly to the road
conditions.
In combination with assistance systems such as ABS, ESC and EDL,
the car’s manoeuvrability is improved in critical situations. Consequently,
all-wheel-drive vehicles provide an increased level of overall safety and
comfort.
ŠKODA Superb 4×4 and Superb Combi 4×4
The ŠKODA flagship, the new ŠKODA Superb is available with all-wheel drive for
both the hatchback and the estate car versions. The all-wheel-drive Superb
comes with a choice of the following engines: 1.4 TSI/110 kW, 2.0 TSI/206 kW,
2.0 TDI/110 kW and 2.0 TDI/140 kW. All-wheel drive combined with automatic DSG
transmission is particularly attractive for the 2.0 TSI/206 kW and 2.0 TDI/140
kW engines.
ŠKODA Octavia 4×4, Octavia Combi 4×4, Octavia RS 4×4, Octavia
Combi RS 4×4 and Octavia Scout
For the hatchback and estate variants of the ŠKODA Octavia, there is a choice
of three 4×4 diesel engines (1.6 TDI/81 kW, 2.0 TDI/110 kW, 2.0 TDI/135 kW) and
one petrol engine (1.8 TSI/132 kW). The Octavia RS and Octavia Combi RS come in
combination with the 2.0 TDI/135 kW engine and automatic DSG transmission.
The ŠKODA Octavia Scout is only available with all-wheel drive. The model, with
its rugged off-road looks, comes with a choice of three different engines: 2.0
TDI/110 kW, 2.0 TDI/135 kW and 1.8 TSI/132 kW.
ŠKODA Yeti 4×4, Yeti Outdoor 4×4 and Yeti Monte Carlo 4×4
At the end of 2013, the popular ŠKODA Yeti was completely revised, and since
then has made an even bigger impact within the compact SUV segment. For the
first time, the popular all-rounder comes in two different variants: the
elegant ŠKODA Yeti for the city and the ŠKODA Yeti Outdoor ready for off-road
and adventure.
The all-wheel-drive ŠKODA Yeti is on the market with the following engines: 1.4
TSI/110 kW, 2.0 TDI/81 kW and 2.0 TDI/110 kW. Both the petrol and the more
powerful diesel engines can also be combined with an automatic six-speed DSG
transmission.
Since 2014, the ŠKODA Yeti is also available as a sporty Yeti Monte Carlo.
Characteristics: sporty and elegant interior and exterior design details, black
17-inch alloy wheels as well as black roof and wing mirror housings. The Monte
Carlo edition is offered for the Yeti’s entire all-wheel-drive range.
