H Skoda αποφάσισε να τοποθετήσει τετρακίνηση τόσο στην Octavia όσο και στην Superb. Πλέον τα δύο οικογενειακά μοντέλα της Τσέχικης φίρμας, θα εφοδιάζονται με το σύστημα Haldex τέταρτης γενιάς, σε αντίθεση με την Audi που επιλέγει για τα οικογενειακά της μοντέλα, το ακριβό Torsen. Μια κίνηση απολύτως φυσιολογική αφού στόχος είναι να κρατηθεί η τιμή όσο γίνεται χαμηλότερα. Η τετρακίνηση θα είναι διαθέσιμη μόνο με τον 2.0λιτρο TDI με 140 άλογα που συνδυάζεται αποκλειστικά με DSG. Περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες στο δελτίο τύπου που ακολουθεί.

NEW 4X4 DRIVETRAIN FOR ŠKODA SUPERB AND OCTAVIA MODELS
- Automatic DSG transmission now offered with 2.0 TDI CR 140bhp four-wheel drive on Octavia and Superb model lines
- Extended portfolio of engines with automatic transmission and four-wheel drive
- Available from November 2010, prices starting at£21,705
Building on its multi-award winning product line-up, Škoda has announced the introduction of a four-wheel drive 2.0 TDI CR 140bhp engine with automatic DSG transmission to hatchback and estate versions of the Superb, Octavia Estate and Octavia Scout.
The advanced four-wheel drive system is designed to tackle those challenging conditions that would leave two-wheel drive competitors stranded. Power distribution is controlled electronically by a fourth-generation Haldex clutch. Under normal traction conditions, 96% of the total power is directed to the front axle. In adverse weather conditions – similar to those experienced in the UK last winter – the Haldex system reacts in a split second to redirect power to those wheels with better traction, greatly increasing driving safety.
The 4×4′s capabilities aren’t limited to wintery conditions. In summer months the 4×4 technology will ensure that towing caravans and trailers is easier and safer, and because drive to the rear wheels is disengaged when not required, there’s little adverse effect on fuel consumption.
The introduction of an automatic twin-clutch DSG gearbox to the existing 2.0 TDI CR 140bhp engine adds to Škoda’s broad range of four-wheel drive cars which now includes Octavia Estate, Octavia Scout, Yeti, Superb hatch, and Superb Estate.
Available to order in the UK from November 2010, with prices starting at £21,705
