This article is dedicated to the topic, which is the country of origin of the Skoda. A description will also be provided of the latest models of this popular worldwide vehicle.
The country of manufacture "Skoda" is known to all. Skoda is produced in the Czech Republic. Most people say this car is made in India. There really is a factory where one of the Skoda models is assembled, but the Czechs are the real owners of these cars.
Other plants
But the Skoda manufacturing country is not only the Czech Republic. These cars are assembled in several countries using specialists:
- Russian;
- Chinese
- Slovak
- Indian.
Regardless of the country in which this car model is assembled, all rights to the Skoda brand belong to the German Volkswagen.
Description of the most popular models
The Skoda manufacturing country - Czech Republic - presented the Skoda Yeti model to the world. First released in 2009, it can aggressively claim first place among crossovers.
This car is created in an elegant laconic style, has neat controls. In this, it looks like a hatchback. After processing in 2014, the line was divided into two parts:
- the standard Yeti was available as a two-drive model (now defunct)
- all-wheel drive version is now called Yeti Outdoor.
The country of manufacture of the Skoda car - Czech Republic offers a practical and flexible Yeti. He may be the best among Skoda models. The car is notable for a slightly unusual size. With a distance of just 4.2 meters, its proportions and silhouette are somewhere between the Fiat Panda 4 x 4 and the traditional C segment offer, such as:
- Volkswagen Tiguan;
- Nissan Qashqai;
- Seat Ateca.
Yeti is handsome and charismatic. The Yeti's price, especially at higher trim levels, is similar in price to the Fiat Pandas and Seat Ateca and Nissan Qashqais. The car has a more powerful 2.0-liter diesel engine. These are record results for the Skoda fleet in 2017.
Successful years
New data from SMMT (Society of Automobile Manufacturers and Traders) showed that for the first time Skoda took 9th place in the True Fleet market, compared with the 12th position of the previous year.
Skoda's fleet continues to show phenomenal success in the sector, with an increase of 7.8 percent since 2016. This rapid growth means that now Skoda controls 3.7% of the entire car market, with the confident advantages of style, performance and value for money that Skoda offers.
Customer care
Now we know which country is the manufacturer of the Skoda. I must say that in 2017, Skoda launched a number of new initiatives aimed at creating the Skoda Live Tour - the world's first auto show. To further support customers throughout the vehicle’s life cycle, the company introduced Fleet’s dedicated customer service center and consistent, superior service throughout the national retail chain. The brand launched the Fleet Service Level Agreement.
Henry Williams, Head of Fleet for Skoda UK, commented: “These results confirm the strength of Skoda's offer to business customers, and we are pleased to register our best market share to date. 2017 was marked by a fantastic increase in sales for the brand, as we firmly positioned ourselves in the top ten leading manufacturers in the automotive sector, our award-winning product range, excellent service and quality. ”
Octavia
The country of origin of Skoda-Octavia is also the Czech Republic. Octavia has many so-called “just smart” details:
- an ice scraper inside the fuel tank flap;
- trash can inside the door panel;
- double-sided (rubber / textile) floor mat in the trunk.
As an option, an inclined / sliding panoramic sunroof is offered - one-section for the Octavia sedan and two-section for the Octavia Combi. Car radios are protected from theft by physically separating the central display and its own multimedia system central unit.
Octavia also offers a storage compartment for a mobile phone with a flat antenna at the bottom of the compartment, which allows the so-called inductive connection of an external antenna.
For the Octavia front wheel, the engines are rated at 63-132 kW (86-179 hp) on gasoline and gasoline cars and 66-110 kW (90-150 hp) for diesel engines. There are two environmentally friendly versions of Octavia:
- the GreenLine version with a 1.6-liter diesel engine produces only 85 g CO2 per km;
- G-TEC is powered by a 1.4-liter TSI LNG engine emitting 97 grams of CO2 per km.
The all-wheel drive Octavia Combi can be powered by one gasoline (1.8 TSI / 132 kW) and three diesel engines (in the range of 77-135 kW).
The Octavia RS, available in both sedan and body style, is equipped with a 162 kW engine. With a top speed of 248 km / h, the Octavia RS with a gasoline engine and manual transmission was recognized as the fastest Octavia product.
Sporty Octavia is different:
- progressive control (variable ratio steering);
- sports chassis;
- electronic differential lock (XDS);
- the so-called Performance Sound Generator, which enhances the sporty sound of the engine.
The source of sound vibrations is an electromagnetic pulse generator located in the area under / in front of the windshield. Sound vibrations propagate into the car through the body and the windshield. The frequency and intensity of the sound depend not only on the selected profile, but also on the engine speed, speed and engine load (position of the gas pedal).
At the beginning of 2017, the third generation of the Facelift Octavia arrived in the exhibition halls, with the main visible difference being divided headlights.
To summarize
Who produces the Skoda Octavia? The country of manufacture of this car is the Czech Republic. But the assembly of these machines is also carried out by Indian, Slovak, Russian and Chinese masters. Novelties of the Skoda company deserve the attention of a motorist.
