Skoda adds hi-tech

More safety equipment for sporty European brand

l SUPPLY

| Nick Dalton

ŠKODA Australia has confirmed additional technology will feature in a significant number of models arriving from the fourth quarter – including its three-model Kamiq, Karoq and Kodiaq SUV range, the Scala and the Octavia.

These additions mean that every model in the entire Skoda range will feature Side Assist with Rear Traffic alert as standard.

The Kamiq will include Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert and Power Tailgate standard across the range, while a premium Škoda Sound System will become optional (via the travel pack) on the Monte Carlo.

The Karoq will now feature Side Assist with Rear Traffic

Alert and Lane Assist standard across the two-tier Style and SportLine 4x4 range.

The Karoq Style now offers a new Leather Seats Pack featuring black or ivory Comfort leather seats with power front adjustment and memory, autodimming foldable door mirrors, ambient lighting, front and rear LED reading lights and interior footwell lighting.

The Kodiaq will feature Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert, Auto Dimming exterior mirrors and power child locks.

A Canton premium audio system is standard on Kodiaq RS 4x4 and optional (via the tech pack) on Style 4x4 and SportLine 4x4. Similarly to the Fabia’s extensive technology suite, the Scala now features Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert as standard across the range. The flagship Signature now also adds a power tailgate. The Octavia will feature Park Assist, Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert, Power Child Locks, Auto Dimming interior mirror and driver’s exterior mirror on Style and RS. The Canton audio system also returns to the Octavia RS with optional premium pack.

As an option on Octavia Style, the separate tech pack and luxury pack will be bundled into a new, single tech and luxury pack with everything from both packs minus the previous head-up display and Dynamic Chassis Control.

While there are no technology changes for the Fabia and Superb, the flagship Superb liftback and wagon will singularly continue in SportLine 4x4 guise. The next-generation 2025 Skoda Superb liftback and wagon may double down on top-of-the-range models –and high-output turbo power – when it arrives in Australia towards the end of next year.

The new Superb is due in European showrooms early next year, at the same time as its Skoda Kodiaq seven-seat SUV twin.

However the first local deliveries are not due until the end of 2024 as Skoda Australia waits for a high-power 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine to become available.

Škoda Australia said it was providing advance notice and flexibility of choice to customers ahead of these new models arriving in the fourth quarter of 2023, with significant current stock available across the model range to take home today.

Pricing for the updated Škoda range will be announced shortly.
