Skoda is one of the few stamps that offers a full drive system for half of its models, excluding quite compact. Of course, such enthusiasm of Czechs got inheritance from the Mother's Volkswagen concern, as, in fact, and the entire technical "filling".
The basis for all all-wheel drive transmissions Skoda is the Haldex coupling, presented already in the fifth generation. In the general event, the DRIVING EXPERIENCE is devoted to the presentation not so much cars, each of whom we have already happened to experience in a monodiferous execution, how much exactly updated 4x4 system.
Updated, because fundamentally nothing new in Haldex 5 has not appeared. This is the result of upgrading the system of the previous generation, aimed at reducing the mass and an increase in the speed of operation. If you omit all the technical details, it can be said that the system has become a little less hydraulics and a little more electricians.
As before, the four-wheel drive near Skod - without the mid-scene differential, but the coupling is constantly working with a small prevail, always transmitting a small percentage of torque on rear axle. This allows Skodovtsy to call their all-wheel drive models Full Time - with constant fully drive.
The main advantage of the Haldex clutch based system is not only in the speed of redistribution of torque over the axes, but also in the fact that the wheel slip of the leading front axis is not the main argument of the rear rear.
Electronics reads information from a huge number of sensors, starting with the level of pressing the gas pedal and ending with the transverse and longitudinal acceleration. At each point in time, it is decided whether it is necessary and in what quantity to use a four-wheel drive, for example, in order to trust the car in a cool turn, even if dry asphalt is under the wheels.
Under the complete control of the electronics and the interstole distribution of the moment, both on both the front and the rear axle. Of course, there are no locks here, they mimics the ESP system, if necessary, slowing down each specific wheel.
The most interesting thing is all this complex makes cars Skoda. There is not so much going on to go as safer that the first work has been tried to show the organizers of the event. So, all-wheel drive octavia and superbi against their front-wheel drive "brothers".
On the flooded water, the landfill was to take three tests alternately, transplancing every five minutes from the front-wheel drive car on the all-wheel drive.
The first exercise is an approach to a gentle rotation having a coating with a minimal coefficient of friction. In fact, the imitation of one of the most common causes of accidents on the winter track.
Everything is quite predictable here. With a quick, but smooth entry into the turn, the front-wheel drive OCTAVIA immediately "floats" the foregoing turns. Instant gas discharge under the adjusting operation of the wheel is rather sharply broken by interference eSP systemswhich, shifting the corresponding wheels, cuts the fuel supply until the machine is completely "straightened".
A more provocative race for a sharp discovery of the throttle in the brightener with a turn of the steering at the last moment is immediately reflected by the drift of the feed, which reflexively digs by counterpart driving under the addition of hectares ... But no, the same stabilization system and this time picking up the brakes, stabilize the motor, Not allowing the opportunity to pull out the car yourself. As a result, the same adjustment of the wheel under a smooth slowdown and only then return to the specified course.
All-wheel drive OCTAVIA COMBI behaves really more stable. Behavior on a slippery arc costs without sharp movements from the side and car, and the driver. You can even carefully "trigger", controlling the high-speed limit on the ESP striking, - the system interferes here is correct, pointing the sprinkling wheels. And even if he went over at a speed, the all-wheel drive octavia slides slowly and all the "body", allowing the driver to have time to choose himself ... No, there is no choice.
The second and third exercises were similar. It was proposed to undergo a "snake" first horizontal, then by slippery surface on the rise. In both cases, everything is plentiful water.
Long and massive Superb, even with front-wheel drive on provocations, reluctant. Attempt to "break" the car on wet asphalt happens like in slow motion - smoothly begin to slip rear wheelsFor which ESP immediately grabs. But the race to a very slippery lift with the simultaneous detour obstacles to the car was given a hard, and the driver is nervously.
Stabilizing stabilization system with "stabling" in responses to the accelerator, sharp "blows" on brakes of leading wheels was added anti-test system. As a result, the departure of the mountain was represented by the journey jumping with the danger of rolling back to the foot.

2 / 3
3 / 3
Whether the case Skoda Superb. Combi 4x4. Yes, Trekshn-control here is also rude here, but due to the fact that the front wheels are pulling, and the rear immediately push, the car moves with minimal ESP intervention, that is, more smoothly, and ... noticeably faster. In general, the advantage is visual and obvious.
For Skoda Yeti. Test organizers prepared more serious - off-road. Although, I must say, without our native mud messenis, it is somehow not off-road - so, geometric obstacles.
But for the beginning of the stand tests of the Haldex 5 coupling on a roller overpass. This is clearly seen how the moment the distribution is occurring and the speed with which the system determines the "busting" wheel. Of course, a positive result was predicted, otherwise it would not be to drive, but not to say that Yeti copes with this exercise once or two.
Already in the natural conditions of Yeti, it was easily crawled around the mountains-Kosoyram, without delivering any problems to the driver. And overcoming the coolest descent, when the driver and front passenger literally hang on safety belts, and has become the main attraction at all - the work of the electronic descent system from the mountain was checked. In fact, the crossover, playing by the brakes, will go to the lowest possible speed itself - the driver needs only to decide to let all the pedals.
The most exciting task was to overcome the "snake" inside the ravine. Yeti, of course, pleased with the geometric patency, and a rather successful struggle with diagonal hanging, however, when bumping onto its side, scarecrose. The fact is that the limit angle of the side tilt for the crossover is 45 degrees, after which overturning is underway, and there is no closer in the car in the car. So when the car rolled down from one side to another in a free fall, the heart is a bit of Yokalo - suddenly took more than 45 degrees.
The most uncertainty of Yeti overcomed the sandy rises, which again forced the unknowing word to speak out about eSP work. As soon as you start a climb with subboing wheels, choosing an optimal lifting trajectory, the electronics instantly perceives it as a loss of stability and immediately seashes the engine even when the Off-Road system is enabled.
For test new Skoda Octavia 2017 Liftbek left with a full drive and a 1.8-liter motor.
Please watch the new Skoda Octavia test 2017, move the MPS index cursor on the scale we offer at the beginning and at the end of the article.
The new Skoda Octavia 2017 has just entered the market. We have already told about her in the first presentation - then the novelty was with a monolarier ().
Now we have at the dough Skoda Octavia 2017 Liftbek with a full-wheel drive and a 1.8-liter engine. We will find her use by starting from our rollers that imitate zero connection with the road. But first, take a hat in front of the creators of a wonderful body that can transport countless obsistent items, not to mention the Torchinsky seedlings.
Skoda Octavia for several years was the most popular model in the class on russian market. But most of the cars sold are copies in simple complete sets With an atmospheric engine 1.6, mechanics or machine gun.
This time in our hands was "unique" version. On such a, according to the Skodovists themselves, only 2-3% of sales will have. Although it is exactly not to say ...
The same Octavia, which is actively struggling on the roads of million people albeit in a rich configuration. Absolutely common and not adapted. About such people say - a wolf in sheep skins, and not in vain. Under the hood of the test instance of 1.8 liter turbo engine from the TSI family with a return of 180 forces and 280 N ∙ M at 1250 - 5000 rpm, joined with a six-speed, wet DSG box, and all because it is a all-wheel drive modification.
Before restyling all-wheel drive elevatbeks, Octavia was not in Russia. For four-wheel drive, the wagon fade increased passibility Scout, and now there are, and bring such cars directly from the Czech Republic.
Czech build allowed for this machine options from the category of helpers close to the autopilot. For example, active cruise control. Nothing is available for octavi russian assemblythat are produced at gas capacity in Nizhny Novgorod.
The generous equipment package seriously increased the already considerable price of the all-wheel drive version.
Liftback with a 4x4 nameplate is estimated at least 1,561,000 rubles. The richer equipment is 1,668,000 rubles, but there are more options. As a result, the all-wheel drive new Skoda Octavia 2017, equipped with all possible assortment, can wander around two million rubles. For the price of a well-equipped crossover!
Thus, it turns out that Octavia 4 × 4 for those who decided to go against the trend and not accepting the popularity of the parquetniki, first of all, from the point of view of the form factor.
Because with a clearance of 156 mm compact overhangs and full drive, this car can be equal to equal to crossovers.
Skoda-Octavia-4 × 4: To make sure four wheels, our team used the traditional rollers in order to simulate the wheel slip on slippery coating.
Attempting number one is to touch the front wheels on the rollers. All-wheel drive octavia makes it playing. The second approach is more difficult. Now two front and one rear wheel stand on the rollers. Octavia tries, tries, it is not aware of, but neither disabling the stabilization system, nor the dsg gym, does not help with an artificial obstacle. We are trying to rehabilitate Liftbak, in the third approach, we produce rollers in the third approach - now both rear wheels and one front stand on them. This task was solved for the full drive of a passenger liftback. Like a climbing during diagonal hanging. For a passenger car - A completely convincing set of skills.
Skoda-Octavia-4 × 4: enter the slide from such a position? Easily!
Four-wheel drive helps not only off-road, but also on asphalt. The leading video of Igor Sirin in the rain broke away at the traffic light from powerful, but monotavid octavia RS. It is logical and appropriate to assume that in the winter time the four-wheel drive will be even more useful and will mostly allow the potential of the motor.
And the potential of the motor is. The alliance of the turbogo and preset suggests the first 100 km / h in 7.4 seconds. back side - Consumption (in the city at 10l / 100 km). Moreover, it is extremely recommended to use AI-98 grade fuel. AI-95 here is regarded not more serious than an alternative in a hopeless position when the 98th is just not to get. One way or another, due to the all-wheel drive transmission, the machine has become practically harder (plus 93 kg).
Skoda-Octavia-4 × 4: Still, this is not an all-day. With a pneumatic suspension and changeable road clearance, it would be already Audi.
However, if you consider how much it is placed in the trunk of Octavia, the extra centner is not critical. Once again, we spare as masters who wrap such a harmonious body. He is not big and not small, just like that and there should be a passenger car.
Liftback warehouse on the passport is 568 liters and this is excluding the possibility of folding the back of the rear seat. With it, the same indicator increases to 1558 liters.
Moreover, the OCTAVIA trunk is not just a basket, but engineeringly thoughtful space with hooks, boxes, light, a 12-volt outlet. Impressive! But there is one but.
The trunk of the basic liftback may be designed modest, but his main trump cards will still be in the basic car for 940 thousand rubles.
It turns out, buy an import copy with full drive only for luggage compartment there's no point.
That the basic is that all-wheel drive versions of the salon will also be plus-minus one.
Only the finishing materials will remain as a variable, but they can be combined without a full drive, on cheaper modifications.
Powerful motor? Engine 1.8 TSI happens on monotrifable copies. The real reason for the purchase is a stronger DSG-6 and a slightly increasing versatility when the car can feel more confidently to feel on how many coatings and light off-Round. According to Skoda's calculations, these arguments will take into account only 2-3% of all buyers of the new Octavia in Russia. And we are among them, just where to take 2 million rubles?

Update, or restyling, gave "Octavia" new bumper and headlights, electronic systems And, perhaps, the most important thing is a four-wheel drive (previously offered only for the station wagon). As far as it is useful and how it works, we will understand during our.
I waited and preparing for this point. It should have happened sooner or later - and happened. It seems I test the car, which ... no competitors?! However, let's in order.
The first paragraph of the 7D program is the selection for the tested car as close as possible and technique of rivals to put advantages and cons - when the car, respectively, shows itself better or worse than classmates. And now, going away: Can you call the cars with which the all-wheel drive Czech elefbeck about 180 horses and with a price list from 1.6 million will be competing?! It seems that there are no.
Do not hurry. To begin with, we will deal with the price. Basic for all-wheel drive "Octavia" in the style of STYLE is 1,668,000 rubles. Having gone through the long list of packages and options and checking not everywhere (but not greeding), I reached the amount of 2.1 million and stopped to translate the Spirit. LED sensors-large wheels-electronic assistants ... I need it all!
And with this price you can already look for rivals. Since "Skoda" makes an application in the class of powerful and all-wheel drive - ascertaining to cars of those producers who have been here for a long time. And may these cars call "Premium": the main thing is technique and money, and the image will be attached.
When we on the air discussed such a choice of rivals, they met support for listeners. So - meet you and you are famous, fast and all-wheel drive competitors, one smaller, the other more. And the one and the other in the body of a sedan, which is still closer to the Czech Liftback than kiguzie hatch. The table shows the basic prices, and how they can be increased - both for the "Skoda", and for BMW, and for Audi - I led an example above. Let's see how the Czechs play in this "hockey"!
In the appearance of "Octavia" changes more, but the headlights and bumper are the most visible and, I would say, outstanding (the length of the car, by the way, increased by 11 mm). As for the divided four headlights ... I heard the opinions of colleagues that "in the photo it really looks not very, but in life the car is better." So: no better.
I understand that after a while, as always happens with restyled cars, I will get used to and I will be considered obsolete. So it was with the former generation "Octavia". But while they dismiss, I can't praise appearance. This is my subjective assessment, I will not argue with a different opinion.
But the "Skoda" has a remarkable property, which is implemented thanks to the close relationship with Volkswagen, Audi and other brands of the concern. The easiest way to describe it like this: you sit down in "Octavia", but you feel in "Golf" or even A3. Materials, quality fittings, ergonomics - at the highest level.
The only thing that is being reproached is on a new very large (9 inches) screen of multimedia implemented control technology without buttons. That is, they are drawn, but not pressed. This is generally accepted for smartphones, tablets and other household appliances. Decision as appropriate to the car still consider dubious. For me, better than the former "Volkswagen" classic buttons around the screen did not come up so much. The driver needs reliability and intelligible feedback, which I always envied, trying to unlock the screen of my smartphone in the frost (more efficiently - nose, in my opinion. If you know the way better, tell me, please).
Skoda would not be "Skoda", not offering simple and genius (Simply Clever) solutions. Umbrella under the passenger seat is a trifle, we have already seen such. Better answer, how do you, being driving, open a bottle of water? Also pinch your knees too? And in the new "Octavia", the niche under the bottle is designed in such a way that it will hold the tank from rotation: the tight tube is turned by one hand. Class!
The result of the first round, when we examined and looked in the car, there will be no plus nor minus. Somewhere in the trifles yielding, and somewhere winning, "Skoda" in general quite consistent with the level of competitors, and this is a success.
When ten years ago, I began to go to the "Octavia" of the second generation, I noticed that I choose a longer way home; Moreover, I surround the last turn to then as you should set on a wide avenue to the nearest reversal. I liked so much that the car sticks to the road, as hears - just did not want to stop. And every morning, leaving the entrance, I was glad that a trip is to have a car. Not a test drive novelties, and the usual daily ride raised the mood! Then there were other cars who knew the same, but first - I remember the best.
The current third "Octavia" retained this wonderful feature, and driving with suddenly disgusting weather from Gelendzhik to Jubgi, I was rejoiced even to trucks that collected long tails of passenger cars: for a couple of minutes we will go longer. 180 forces and all-wheel drive allowed to use any possibilities for overtaking, despite the storm wind and heavy rain. Right over the flow of water, under which the asphalt was hidden, safely take overclocking and confidently ahead of the lowers!
I will note the exact and very intelligent work of adaptive cruise control and a very sensitive "line-ancite" - the steering wheel as if clinging even in half a brine markup and confidently corrected the trajectory of the car. It was recently exotic, then the premium-class will, and now, as perceived, perceived in the very mass segment!
Skoda has a beautiful navigation system, having a lot of advantages and one, but often decisive disadvantage. Moreover, the lack applies not to the Czech brand, but to any car with a regular navigation system: old cards. For example, a new junction is already working at the intersection of the M-4 and A-147 trails (turn to Jubgu and Sochi), and you do not learn it, grief-assaults!
The result of the second round is also zero, and this is actually an indicator of the efforts of Czechs, which are on equal footing with very serious rivals.
If I say that in urban conditions, I discovered the obvious advantages of a powerful all-wheel drive "Octavia" - I will see against truth. Simply good car, with all the necessary auxiliary electronics, worthy of dynamics and quite sufficient maneuverability.
The main thing - I finally managed to find it clearly and on the case working assistant parking! A year ago, I was pleased with the "scout", as it just works and clearly it works, and here it was possible to simulate a truly complex and close check in, with which the car coped independently and quickly. I give up: useful parking assistants exist. An example is Skoda-Octavia.
This is not the property of the machines of this segment, these are preferences to the audience. "Disco" is fully responsible for them. And this means that at least I personally he in the city and does not seem to be a good choice, no minuses: the car is at level!
Although repairs on M-4 "Don" were forced at times to jump on the side of the road, and then for the sake of a beautiful frame, we turned into a rocky carpentry, steeply leaving in the mountains, let's immediately declare: the cars participating and mentioned in this test are made by the all-wheel drive for the sake of handling. Several best permeability - a side effect.
Yes, "Octavia", by connecting the coupling the rear wheels, will overcome the ice climb, it does not save in the winter in the mountains, the wet herb is also nicking, and it doesn't frighten a rut with liquid mud. Only she should be very shallow. The road clearance is 153 mm - it is too little to seriously argue "erupt - will not pass." By the way, for such disputes, prepare 8900 rubles: the engine branded protection is very useful!
The rivals are no better in this regard, so in this round - parity. And if you really need a permeability better than the usual passenger car - Look at the "Scout" or "Yeti". And "Kodiak" is not far off.
"Octavia" is longer competitors, has a close wheeled base, but its main advantage is a body representing something among the sedan and hatchback. Huge backdoor And an incredibly capacious 568-liter trunk, which can be enlarged without a small threefold, folding the backs of the rear seats, provide an advantage over competing classic sedans. All sorts of meshes, hooks and retainers help organize this space as convenient and practical way as possible.
Not only for booties, for people here is also quite enough space: there are no complaints in four, there will be no complaints, it will be a little closer and armrest will be deprived. Rear two USB ports (where in today, without them!), Socket 230 V, curtain ...
Practical Liftbek celebrates victory over prestigious sedan: I put "Octavia" the first plus!
And for future buyers, I note: if you choose a beautiful 17-inch wheels (plus 15 thousand rubles), then ask for an october exactly the dock, that is, a narrow wheel, for the former 16-inch, for nothing that is full, will also be in the status of temporary, dowry to tires. And why then spend a place for him?
And only in the most extreme case - 92, get to the next gas station. Fuel with octane number 98, also specified in the diet, it seems to me reinsurance. Moreover, it is not found on each gas station and does not always happen due.
At the expense of Skoda, it is not allocated to the best, nor for the worse: I have about 8 liters per hundred and lifts during the test drive on the seaside section of M-4. Coincides with the middle level.
All-wheel drive "Octavia" are offered in two bodies, in two configurations, and in total in the range of resting machines - three engines, three boxes, two bodies, four levels of execution, and this is not yet in the calculation of the "scout" version. Gamma is more than wider.
The price of 1.6 million is very, very much for Skoda. But even, being screwed up with the help of up to 2 million and higher - it is a bit against the background of competitors. And here is the time of the main question: what is more important, name or money? Real qualities or prestige?
I answer it another plus, for objectively the "Skoda" offer looks very interesting on the market. Just need to know with what to compare it. I know.
Skoda Octavia 4 × 4 - with honor withstood a comparison with competitors, which formally belong to the prestigious segment. Certificate of this final estimate - not a single minus and two plus. The result is somewhat unexpected, but because even more valuable.
All-wheel drive Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 is available for orders in Russia. Car has new Body A7, advanced transmission and engine.
To the big trunk, the Skoda Octavia Combi was also a four-wheel drive, an ideal car for country trips. Immediately it is worth indicating that in Europe all-wheel drive version Skoda Octavia. Combi 4x4 has diesel engineIn Russia, a car is offered with a gasoline turbo engine to a working volume of 1.8 liters with a capacity of 180 hp As a gearbox, there is a robotic DSG automatic with 6 steps.
Externally, the front-wheel drive version of the wagon and the 4x4 modification is not much different. Unless the 4x4 icon on the OCTAVIA COMBI 4X4 trunk lid, as in this photo. 
The all-wheel drive transmission itself is borrowed from the crossover Skoda Yeti. About which we wrote a big article. The main aggregate of the transmission is the advanced Haldex coupling 5. The work of this all-wheel drive transmission is characterized by some features. In terms of normal roads, more than 90% of the torque is transmitted to the front wheels. But it is worth going on a slippery road or frank dirt, then thanks to Haldex coupling, the same 90% torque can almost instantly be transmitted to the rear wheels of Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 and back.
Characteristics New Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4
As for sizes and dimensions. That Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 is not much different from the ordinary station wagon Skoda. But there are some features. So ground clearance A little less, due to the fact that the mass of the car is increased. For example, a wagon Octavia Combi with a turbo engine 1.8 TSI weighs 1352 kg in a curb state, and with the same motor, but in the all-wheel drive version 100 kilograms more. Accordingly, fuel consumption is greater, and the speaker is slightly worse. COMBI 4X4 fuel consumption in mixed mode is 6.7 liters of gasoline, and in front-wheel drive version 6 liters. By the way, the volume of gas tank in the All-wheel drive version of the stationary 4x4 55 liters, while the usual Octavia Combi is exactly 50 liters. The rear suspension at version 4x4 is completely redesigned, because there it was necessary to place additional nodes and transmission units.
Package and prices Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4
In Russia, all-wheel drive Combi is offered only with a 1.8 TSI engine with a capacity of 180 hp Plus 6-speed dSG box. The price of the most affordable version of Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 starts with a mark of 1,061,000 rubles in the middle aMBITION configuration. In the top version of the Elegance, the car is already 1,134,000 rubles. Actually, there are not many competitors in this class, classmates do not offer anything like that. Neither Ford Focus, Neither Chevrolet Cruz with Opel Astra does not have all-wheel drive universal on the Russian market. Actually in the absence of competition price Skoda. Octavia Combi 4x4 over a million rubles. Compete with a car from the Czech Republic, it can except all-wheel drive universal Subaru, which also have a rather large price.
Hard demand for all-wheel drive universal In our country, it will be great, due to the fact that the crossover can be taken for the same money, the same Yeti for example. Therefore, the manufacturer did not offer a large number of variations with multiple engines.
Video Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4
Small video overview of all-wheel drive Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4.
It is also worth mentioning about the off-road version of Octavia Combi 4x4, which is called Skoda Octavia Skout. This modification is except front drive and increased road lumen has a lot external differences. Such as lining on the thresholds and wheeled arches, more protected bumpers. According to representatives of Skoda in Russia, Skoda Octavia Scout will appear in the near future.
Skoda Octavia is a car that has become famous due to its reliability, unpretentiousness and high comfort of movement. For the history of the model, which has 20 years, has time to reach three generations of the car, each of which is better and manufactured by the previous one. Today we will tell about the rare and exotic Skoda Octavia 4 × 4 "Combi" and about all its features.
General concept
Wagon Skoda Octavia A7 - This is a real older model Row brands. The first versions of the model with full-wheel drive appeared in 1999, a year before the first restyling. The volume of the trunk of the wagon with the folded rear seats It reaches 1500 liters, and the Combi salon A7 is more comfortable for family trips.
For this car A line of atmospheric and turbocharged engines is provided, which includes several diesel engines. Diesel volume 1.6 is provided for older versions, and a turbocharged 2 liter diesel engine issues 140 horse power And the maximum moment in 320 Newton meters, which gives the Skoda Skoda wagon enviable craving.
The wagon of Skoda Octavia for the first time with a full drive appeared in 2000 and has the designation of Octavia Combi 4 × 4. Later, several versions with diesel appeared. Unlike the front-wheel drive version, the version of Skoda Octavia 4 × 4 "Combi" has several key features, which both externally and internally distinguish the wagon of increased passability.
First of all, the exterior of the car has a different look. Here you can mark the tuning package, which is aimed at protecting the car of increased passability from shocks and damage when passing off the road.
The thresholds are protected in the form of pads from reinforced plastic. With such protection, not only scratches, but also significant dents, which can often be found in modern crossovers can be avoided.
Arches and arch were obtained. This type of tuning, according to the manufacturer, will allow the universal with a full drive to avoid significant damage and corrosion.
Of course, the appearance of a full drive is accompanied by some changes in the suspension. It received reinforced elements that are supplied with a "package for bad roads" for the usual version of the station wagon. Thanks to the constructive nuances of the new system, the ground clearance managed to increase by 3 centimeters even on versions with diesel.
Octavia Combi 4 × 4 recognizable by some more external notation. So, on the lid of the trunk "Combi" you can see the characteristic inscription SCOUT. Once in the cabin, it will be possible to detect the inscription "4motion", which denotes the presence of a system of an intelligent full drive both on gasoline versions and universal with diesel.
Sport modifications
The most famous version of the Skoda with a full drive is a car built on the basis of A7 and is not able to install a diesel engine. However, there are still several all-wheel drive versions, which are built on the A7 platform. Their example are sports versions of the PC and Skoda Octavia Scout Revo 4x4.
The RS version is built on the basis of the Lifbeca, which is produced since 2013. The RS has several unique features that allow you to instantly allocate it from the entire model range.
Moreover, changes regarding the ordinary A, it will be possible to find both in terms of design and technical part.
Concerning external viewThe color gamut model is somewhat different. The RS version will be able to meet both in a bright blue version and a snow-white white shade. On the radiator grille, which has a slightly different form, is the corresponding inscription. In addition, it will sometimes be able to find on the side of the body and doors in the form of stickers and marking. The rear of Octavia RS 4 × 4 is equipped with a chrome-plated overlay, which also defines the sports version.
The interior of Octavia RS 4 × 4 also has several key features. So, the steering wheel has a sporty design, and the front armchairs is more rigid lateral support. RS suspension is enhanced to increase service life and greater reliability.
For the version of the RS Diesel is not available. In addition, a gasoline double-liter unit with a capacity of 220 horsepower was developed for Skoda Octavia. Such a motor is unavailable for one other modification A7. The RS engine has an increased fuel consumption that is preferably 98 octane number. In fact, the buyer receives a car having improved dynamic characteristics and acceleration indicators.
The gearbox offered for Octavia RS 4 × 4 also has a special design. This version is the only one for the modification of the PC. The unit has a robotic type and has a system of two clips. Such a solution contributes to more reliable integration of the engine with a gearbox, while carrying out a faster speed switching.
Another version that has a sports bias - Skoda Octavia Scout Revo 4x4. Such a version can be found extremely rare, and for the most part it is used in sports international competitions.
Skoda Octavia Scout Revo 4x4 externally looks like a Skoda Octavia wagon built on the A7 platform. The technical filling that is installed on this car is similar to the one that can be detected on the RS versions, and the diesel is also unavailable. The fifth generation full-generation system operates automatically and is installed on Skoda Octavia Scout Revo 4x4 in serial order.
Principle of operation
At the moment, all sports modifications of Skoda Octavia is set to a complete fifth generation drive, conditionally called the 4Motion manufacturer. It is based on the Haldex coupling, which takes on the function of the distribution of the moment between the front and rear axle.
Intelligence The coupling acts in such a way as to constantly provide a small percentage of torque on the rear axle, which gives the manufacturer the right to call a similar system of permanent principle.
With sharp accelerations, the torque is distributed between the axes equally, thereby excluding the slip on the wet asphalt and the loss of power. Moreover, the coupling is fully integrated with course stability systems and instantly responds to the slightest changes in speed.
The fifth generation of the coupling does not have significant constructive differences from the predecessor. All the forces of the designers during its design were laid on facilitating the mass of parts and maximize the amount of hydraulics.
The principle of operation of the system is based on the fact that at a certain point, the pump begins to supply high pressure oil into the channels. Thanks to this, the leading and slave parts of the mechanism are firmly adjacent to each other, and the rear axle is connected in a specific proportion. In this regard, the main disadvantage of such a system arises. High pressure pump with undime replacement Oil braids, and high pressure channels can leak and lose tightness.
Summing up
Skoda Octavia in versions with full-wheel drive - technological and powerful cars. Nevertheless, the 4motion system is imperfect and not devastable. However, practice shows that systems recent generations Do not have the same shortcomings as their predecessors, and with each version work better and more stable.
