Skoda Cars in a New Model Year 2006 to be Introduced at Brno Motor Show


May 2005

Škoda Auto will introduce its 2006 model year versions of the Fabia, Octavia and Superb cars at this year’s Brno Motor Show. There are some technical modifications and new features and equipment. The manufacture and deliveries of the 2006 version updated cars will start in June 2005.
The most important innovation for the Fabia range is introduction of a new Duel Rate brake assist, fitted as standard on cars equipped with the ABS system. Providing brake servo action growth during emergency braking, the Dual Rate brake assist helps achieve maximum braking effect and a shorter braking distance. Other new features include the option of fitting the SunSet glass providing higher level of tinting.

Another important novelty for the Octavia cars is introduction of the DSR (Driver Steering Recommendation) system, which further increases an effect of the ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) system and can reduce the risk of an accident in specific driving situations. Another new feature that can be ordered as part of an extra equipment of the Octavia car is the HHC system – an uphill start assist. Being activated during the start on a road gradient higher than five per cent, this system enables a comfortable and safe uphill start without applying the parking brake. The novelties also include the option to fit the car with an independent additional heater unit, an attractively priced Cruise navigation system, and a Dynamic sporty package that can include bucket seats, a leather-covered three-spoke sport-type steering wheel, a leather-covered handbrake grip and gear change lever knob, light-alloy 17‘‘ wheels, and a sports-tuned chassis.

On the Superb cars, there are changes that make the car appearance even more attractive while extending the car’s comfortable equipment. An example of this is a revised guard of the central grid of the front bumper with a chromium-plated frame, new seat leather upholstery, introduction of the so-called net programme in the luggage compartment and the option of fitting a heated windscreen. The new technical features will include optimization of front axle brake assembly cooling, which will contribute to a higher comfort when braking extremely, and increase service life of brake disks.

On the 2006 model year’s Škoda Fabia, Octavia, and Superb cars, the existing VIN label has been completed with a bar code on the windscreen underframe making it possible to automatically identify the vehicle by means of a reading device. On all model families, the range of exterior colours has been augmented with two new metallic tints: the Highland green and the Strom blue.
