2007 Skoda Octavia Scout











The Škoda Octavia Scout once again clearly optimises the virtues of traction and transport volumes, which the estate provides in addition to the high level of power and economy. Robust and authentic, it characterises the 4x4 competence of the brand and sets further milestones in the still young life cycle of the Octavia. The Škoda Octavia Scout has a powerful and dynamic appearance. Exclusive design elements in the interior and the exterior signalise its special position within the Škoda Octavia range.

The 4581 millimetre long Škoda Octavia Scout is 9 millimetres longer, 15 millimetres wider and 13 millimetres higher than the Škoda Octavia Combi 4x4 with the poor road condition package. Compared to this version, it exhibits 17 mm more ground clearance. The off-road capability of the Škoda Octavia Scout is considerably enhanced in this way; it masters poor and unused paths effortlessly. Newly designed front and rear bumpers, black-grey side protection strips and profiled door sill covers add design to the Scout and draw attention to its possibilities for use. A black roof railing adorns the silhouette of the Scout as a standard feature, the front fog lamps are installed in the front apron below the halogen projector beam headlights. Protective strips on the wheel housings, entry strips on the front door sills with the word "Scout" and underbody protection below the front section and at the rear make the car fit for even unusual tasks. The solid 17-inch Proteus alloy wheels suffer no damage even in the poorest of road conditions and are a guarantee for reliability on the many little trips undertaken to escape from daily routine. And the Škoda Octavia Scout is given a characteristic feature with its exclusive model designation on the rear and the polished twin exhaust tailpipe of stainless steel.

Driver and passengers enjoy exquisite comfort in the car's interior. Leather upholstery heightens the value of the four-spoke steering wheel, the gear stick knob and the handbrake grip. On request, the pedals can be supplied with stainless steel non-slip surfaces. There is a roomy Jumbo Box as storage unit below the comfortable middle armrest at the front. Exclusive seating upholstery and a handle for the front seat passenger on the dashboard are further characteristic features of the Škoda Octavia Scout. Integrated entry lights in the external mirrors and a light assistant are further standard features.

The Škoda Octavia Scout is fitted out with the well-proven four-wheel drive system from Škoda Auto. As in the case of the Estate 4x4 it excels as a result of the variable distribution of power between front and rear axles providing impressive traction performance making driving possible even under the most difficult road conditions or on rods in winter. Core element of the drive is the Haldex multi-plate clutch installed in front of the rear axle. Electronically controlled, it reacts within a fraction of a second to changing conditions in traction and supplies power to the wheels with the best traction. A further advantage of the Haldex system is the small size of the clutch itself. Thus, in spite of the complex 4x4 technology involved, the loading capacity of the Škoda Octavia Scout is fully maintained in comparison to the front-wheel driven Škoda Octavia Combi. As in the case of the Octavia Combi 4x4, the Škoda Octavia Scout also has a fuel tank with a capacity of 60 litres.
