Skoda is introducing a fresh four wheel drive on their Octavia and Superb model lines available this month.

The new models will be offered in automatic DSG transmission with an array of impressive new car parts notably the 2.0 TDI CR 140bhp for hatchback and estate versions.

The company state the new design is aimed to tackle challenging conditions which two-wheel drives would be unable to handle.

The power distribution is controlled electronically by a fourth-generation Haldex clutch so under normal track conditions, tests show 96 percent of the total power is directed to the front axle.

When confronted with adverse weather conditions this Haldex system reacts in a split second to redirect power to the wheels with better traction so the ability to drive safety is significantly increased.

In summer the 4 x4 technology is able to continue its safe driving capabilities by making towing caravans and trailers easier and safer to manoeuvre and rear wheels are disengaged when not required so fuel consumption is reduced.

The prices start at £21,705 and the new vehicles are available to order to those in the UK from the end of November 2010.

The full range of models include: Octavia Estate 4×4, Octavia Estate Scout, Superb Hatch SE, Superb Hatch Elegance, Superb Estate SE, and Superb Estate Elegance.

Skoda car parts are now more focussed on environmental protection and use up far less energy, according to the latest Skoda Auto 2009/2010 Sustainability Report. Find Skoda Car Parts now.

The Czech Republic’s largest car manufacturer has designed car parts which reduce water consumption per car by about 60 percent since 1999 and waste water production per car produced has dropped by almost 70 percent.

The volume of polluting emissions has been reduced across the Skoda product range, too, and the volume of emissions reduced from manufacturing operations, all of which are likely to make Skoda and Skoda car parts far more in demand for eco-friendly motorists.

“Despite all the environmental improvements we have made so far, we are not resting on our laurels,” commented Prof. Winfried Vahland, Skoda Auto BOD chairman.

“We will carry on heading towards the emission-free future.”

The GreenLine models were stated by Dr Vahland as the best examples of sustainable development in Skoda cars. The car line boasts low fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures.

Skoda has seen its profits boosted by increased sales in the first three months of the year.

A year-on-year comparison revealed a 25 per cent jump in the number of vehicles delivered for the Czech Republic’s bigger car manufacturer, with post-tax operating profit up from CZK 787 million (£26.7 million) to CZK 2.7 billion.

The company’s improved performance is largely down to a growth in the Chinese market, with sales up a huge 121.9 per cent, while there was also a rise in European sales, particularly in central Europe, where it recorded a 12.9 per cent rise.

Its Octavia and Superb models both experienced strong sales growth during what has been a very strong start to the year for the firm.

"The sales results show that the markets in Western Europe are recovering from the economic recession. The only exception is Germany, where the automotive market slumped by nearly 25 % over the first three months as compared with the same period of last year," said Reinhard Fleger, of the sales and marketing department at Skoda Auto.

Earlier this year, the car manufacturer’s UK branch won the Human Touch and Customer Care award for the fourth time in five years.

Automaker Skoda picked up three prizes at January’s What Car? awards.

Held last Friday (January 15th), the event saw the firm’s Yeti model named ‘Best buy crossover under £15,000′ in 1.2 TSI S specification, the Skoda Octavia Estate 1.4 TSI take the award for ‘Best buy estate under £16,000′ and the Superb get the gong for the best family car costing less that £17,000.

The prize for the Octavia Estate was the model’s third in succession in its category, while the award for the Yeti added to its Top Gear magazine ‘Family Car of the Year’ honour and the Czech Motoring Journalists Club Car of the Year accolade.

In addition the company announced plans to produce an estate version of the Superb soon.

Last week, the Reading Post reviewed the Yeti, describing the vehicle as stylish and saying that it coped well with snowy road conditions.

The car’s interior can also be transformed through 20 different combinations, providing ample storage space.

More than Skoda spares have been produced by the manufacturer as it is celebrating winning Top Gear prizes.

The title of Family Car of the Year was scooped by the brand’s Yeti and the Superb walked away with the prize for Luxury Car of the Year.

Conor McNicholas, the magazine’s editor, said: "The Yeti has been an instant hit with the Top Gear magazine office.

"We love the styling, the handling, the quality, the space, the clever touches and yes, the name."

He added that buyers looking to invest in a family vehicle should make the Yeti a priority to check out.

The editor also had praise for the Superb stating that the price tag should not fool buyers as this motor represents a class act that delivers.

Winners of this year’s competition were chosen by Top Gear’s TV, magazine and online teams. The awards ceremony is celebrating ten years in 2009 and seeks to reward the most innovative motors of the past year.

According to one firm it is more than Skoda’s car spares that make the Octavia Estate vehicle the firm’s best-selling model of the fleet.

Uniter Group states that factors such as the model’s reliability and its economical running make the motor a consumer favourite, hence Uniter’s recent decision to use the Octavia to update its own fleet.

Peter Buttress, financial director at the company, said: "Because we continually strive to reduce our carbon footprint we need vehicles with low CO2 emissions.

"Load carrying capacity and running costs are also major factors of importance and the Octavia meets all these requirements."

Skoda’s Octavia took home the title of Best Small Family Car 2009 in JD Power’s Survey of Customer Satisfaction.

Interested buyers can walk away with their own model currently for a price tag starting from £11,995.

The Skoda brand now has 130 retailers across the UK.

New Skoda parts are likely to have gone into the production of the manufacturer’s latest estate offering.

The Superb hatch was launched in 2008 and had sold more that 3,000 of the cars in the UK up until last month. This figure increases to over 33,000 models for worldwide sales for the period from January 2009 to October.

Such figures represent a rise of sales – when compared to last year – to the tune of 78 per cent.

The Superb is said to have numerous optional features, including a revised version of the motor’s Park Assist system, which claims to get the car’s owners into even tighter spots.

It is spacious, at 1,817 mm wide by 4,838 mm long and 1,510 mm high.

Skoda started out as a manufacturer of bikes in 1895, moving on to motor bikes in 1899 and then car production in 1905.

In 1990 the company joined forces with Volkswagen, which made it the fourth brand name in the Volkswagen company – the other two brands being Seat and Audi.

One car manufacturer has launched a new enticement across its vehicles.

All purchases of the Skoda’s five model ranges will be sheltered from paying the government’s increase in VAT for the Octavia, Roomster and Fabias.

This incentive comes as in addition to the fact that Skoda already participates in the UK scrappage scheme, offering customers a trade-in figure of £3,500.

In order to qualify for the latest deal from the company, customers must reserve their motors by the end of January next year.

Alongside these offers, Skoda continues to give zero per cent finance on selected models in its range, which was launched on November 2nd and is set to continue until the last day of March 2010.

The company was voted as the Best Manufacturer in the 2009 in an Auto Express Driver Power survey and currently boasts 130 retailers of its vehicles in the UK network.

Car manufacturer Skoda has reported its sales are up when comparing quarter three of this year to the same period in 2008.

Reinhard Jung, Skoda Auto board of director’s chairman, commented on how the company has changed to still be successful in the economic downturn. He said: "We have adopted a number of measures to remain financially strong and steady.

"To combat the current problems in the automotive market, we have launched some new, attractive products."

Mr Jung highlighted the company’s successful Yeti launch and its expansion of GreenLine eco-friendly vehicles. The Frankfurt Motor Show debut of the Skoda Superb estate was also said to initiate positive feedback.

He added that Skoda anticipated a positive trend to endure until the end of this year.

For quarters one to three of 2009 the company made in excess of 387,000 motors.

Skoda claims that 98 per cent of its car owners would recommend the motors to a friend, based upon the results from a J D Power survey conducted in 2007.
