The new Skoda Octavia Scout is a modified version of ordinary octavia 4×4. To the question of how these cars differ, you will find the answer below.
As already mentioned, this car is an enhanced version of Octavia. Octavavia Scout has a larger road clearance, plastic protection of the bottom, as well as an off -road body kit. In general, the car has become more passable. As for designer core, it can not be considered here, since its influence on the consumer qualities of the machine is extremely small. A big plus for Russian drivers Skoda Octavia Scout is that the car is adapted for bad roads.
Off-road test drive
In practice, this car showed itself very dignity. Of course, he is not as passing as a crossover, but in skillful hands the Scout is able to work miracles.
The automatic system of Haldex is especially pleased with the automatic system, which forces the fenced coupling to work preventively. The fact is that Haldex works with the ESP system, the sensors of which transmit information about the position of the car. Many can ask the question: what is the case here? After all, almost every modern car has the same set of options! The answer is simple: at Skoda Octavia Scout, this option of options works without failures, inspiring confidence in its owner.
Power units
Skoda Octavia Scout received a stronger motor in 184 horsepower. Previously, the best option was a 150-horsepower engine. Now it is available in the basic configuration exclusively with a manual gearbox.
184-horsepower gasoline engine, along with an automatic gearbox, is able to disperse the car to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds.
Salon
On the road, the first thing that rushes into account is silence in the cabin. Like a real “scout”, the car sneaks along the road silently and accurately. Here, not only improved sound insulation, but also tires played a role here. Previously installed Dunlop tires, and now Michelin. In addition, the developers paid attention to aerodynamics. Even at high speed the whistle of the wind is practically not tangible.
Passengers in the car will be very comfortable, since its base was increased. People of the average configuration will be able to conveniently sit behind by throwing the leg on the leg.
Some drivers considered this car something “unfinished”; neither crossover nor a passenger car. However, after they got behind the wheel and made friends with the internal design and an ergonomic salon, then they started the motor and drove a couple of kilometers, their opinion was changing.
