What is a car like the Skoda Rumster? The technical specifications of this machine are quite interesting. Like the model itself. So we should talk more about this car, which first appeared to our eyes in 2003.
The beginning of the story
Before telling directly about the Skoda Rumster car itself, the technical characteristics of which will be presented below, it’s worth a little talk about its history.
Well, for the first time this concept was presented to the general public in Frankfurt in 2003. And after 29 months he went into mass production. An interesting fact is that the final, finished model had some significant differences from its prototype. This model raised the Skoda brand to a whole new level of assembly, design and quality.
By the way, about the name. It turned out pretty symbolic. Part of the room translates as “room”, which embodies coziness and comfort. And ster , standing at the end, conveys a peculiar passenger temperament of this car. There is a clear analogy with the roadster .
Appearance
Talking about the car “Skoda Rumster”, the technical characteristics of which are quite impressive for such a car, it is impossible not to mention its design with special attention.
Bright sporty appearance is emphasized by panoramic roof glazing and wide side windows providing excellent visibility. All this combined with each other looks modern, harmonious and still original. Indeed, Skoda has embarked on a new path of creating the exterior.
The headlights, which do not look aggressive at all, also attract attention. They seem to give the appearance elegance and sophistication. The result was a very friendly, friendly “look”.
The windshield of this car is, in fact, a continuation of the body. Due to this, the passenger has the impression that he is not inside the car, but on the plane. The back of the body, it was decided to perform in cubic form. Another design is interesting in that the rear and front parts seem to be independent of each other. However, despite this feature, the car looks very harmonious. Designers managed to visually combine the two halves with the middle line, which supposedly surrounds this model along the lower edge of the glass, the edge of the doors, headlights, fenders and a radiator chrome grille.
Optics
What else can you tell about a car like the Skoda Rumster? Specifications are a very important point. The machine must be powerful, fast, comfortable, dynamic and safe. The latter is promoted by excellent optics, which the model of this concern can quite boast of. In addition to ordinary halogen headlights, Roomster also has spotlights equipped with a halogen lamp and an optical system. The latter is used in xenon headlights. From a security point of view, this solution is excellent. And at a speed of 3 km / h, the headlights automatically turn in the direction of travel. Adaptive foglights are automatically turned on when making a turn and also turn in the right direction. And after the driver completes the turn, they return to their original position.
Comfort inside
Despite the fact that the car looks very dynamic and fast, it is a very comfortable model. The developers set themselves the goal of making just such a car and embodied what was conceived in the Skoda Rumster Scout model. Its technical specifications met all expectations. And separately pleased with the interior. Inside, there is a clear separation between the passenger and driver parts. The front zone is characterized by a comfortable passenger car seat and an excellent level of comfort combined with ergonomics. The range of seats and steering wheel adjustments (both in reach and in height) make it possible to take absolutely any pose that seems comfortable for the driver. The devices on the panel are located very conveniently, which is also important. Moreover, they are distinguished by increased information content and conciseness. There is a double glove box, cup holders, holders and a variety of containers.
At the rear, the landing is exactly what it should be for passengers. And the configuration of the seats can be changed as the people who want. Enough space - both in the legs and above the head. In general, the interior turned out to be very practical, comfortable and multifunctional.
Power
And finally, it is worth talking about what the “Skoda Rumster” specifications have. Ground clearance is excellent - suitable for our Russian roads. Pendants are of high quality. And the engines are in variety. Manufacturer Skoda offers potential buyers both diesel and gasoline options. Power units have different power - starting from 64 liters. from. (1.2 NTR) and ending with an indicator showing more than 100 liters. from.
By the way, potential buyers can choose a gearbox - either automatic or mechanical (both 5-speed).
What about the pendants? Their developers decided to borrow from Octavia (rear) and Fabia (front). High-quality, reliable - due to them a decent level of comfort is provided. At the same time, very active maneuvering is carried out, which is also important.
Engines
Separate attention I would like to note the technical specifications of the “Skoda Rumster 1.4”. Take, for example, a model that came out from 2006 to 2010. Skoda Roomster 1.4 TDI - a car with an 80-horsepower engine running a 5-speed “mechanics”. 5-door diesel minivan. It would seem that a weak engine ... But it is able to squeeze out a speed of 160 km / h, and this is a good indicator for a minivan! To “weave” it accelerates in 14.7 seconds. An economical option, by the way, spends only 5 liters in mixed mode per 100 km. And it costs about 350,000 rubles in good condition.
As for the car “Skoda Rumster 1.6”, the technical characteristics of this model are also worth noting special attention. The version that was produced in 2010 has a 105-horsepower 1.6-liter diesel engine running a 5-speed manual transmission (there was a version with 7 automatic transmissions, but only there was a 1.2-liter TSI with the same number of “horses” ) 181 km / h - its maximum. The model is improved (both technically and aesthetically), so it will cost about half a million in normal condition.
In general, this model is another proof that Skoda produces good and reliable cars that are becoming very popular very quickly.
