Skoda is one of the most popular cars in the world. The largest manufacturer of the Skoda brand today belongs to the German concern Volkswagen. There is even a slight resemblance of some models with the German "Passat" and "Bora". The Skoda company itself was founded in the Czech Republic in 1925. Her first "swallow" was the model 4R. Five years later, a new brand was developed and released - Skoda 420. The modern fleet of this manufacturer includes a large number of models of different classes. Consider which Skoda brands are most popular with a modern car enthusiast.
Skoda Octavia
Obviously, this is the most famous and popular range of cars. The first generation, released back in 1996, won the love of motorists around the world. The number of cars sold has exceeded the one million mark. Such statistics are the most accurate expression of the demand for and commitment to this Skoda brand. ATIn the early 2000s, the model has undergone many changes and improvements, but its traditional quality indicators remain with it throughout all the cosmetic and technical upgrades.
The widespread "Octavia" has a reliable body, simple and comfortable control, it always has an up-to-date design both external and internal, well-thought-out external lighting with good optics. The suspension is distinguished by enhanced characteristics, in the event of a collision in the system, the supply of the fuel mixture is immediately stopped. Spacious interior and ergonomic driving position - all this characterizes the "Octavia" from the best side.
Skoda SuperB
Another popular representative of the Skoda range. Photos of its various modifications amaze with corporate design, which are expressed in the elegant style of an aristocrat of their class. The latest generation of the car is deployed on the Volkswagen MQB modular base, which led to a lighter body. The rear suspension of this model is multi-link, and the front suspension is MacPherson strut.
Modern "Skoda SuperB" has grown a little in size and is characterized by the following dimensions:
- body length - 4 m 86 cm;
- width is 1m 86cm;
- body height - 1 m 47 cm;
- wheelbase size - 2 m 84 cm;
- ground clearance at 16.4 cm.

Now the trunk capacity is determined at 625 liters, with the rear seats folded down, the volume increases to a "cosmic" 1769 liters, which is an excellent indicator for a passenger car.
Skoda Fabia
"Fabia" has three generations, the last was presented in 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show. In this model of the Skoda brand, the power plant was revised, the interior was redone and the external image was refreshed. The car features angular headlights, quirky LED daytime running lights and small focusing elements.
The front air intake has changed slightly, which is located at the bottom of the bumper and is closed by a black mesh grille. There are fog lights on both sides of it.
"Skoda Fabia" is characterized as a budget vehicle of a very compact class. It is available in two versions: a hatchback with five doors and a station wagon. The model has a small ground clearance, only 13.5 cm. Like all models of the Czech manufacturer, it has an impressive luggage compartment capacity. Despite its subcompact dimensions, the hatchback provides 330 liters, and the station wagon - 530. And if you donate the rear seats, the volume will increase several times. Fabia is a reliable and convenient urban companion for everyday commuting or shopping.
SkodaYeti
The latest version of this Skoda brand was developed and implemented on the Tiguan platform. This compact crossover came out in two versions, which did not differ structurally from each other. The difference was only in the external design.
The technical equipment of the model includes the presence of anti-lock brakes, directional stability, a pair of front airbags, air conditioning, power windows for the front doors, roof rails, foglights and 16-inch steel wheels.
Almost all modifications are front-wheel drive, but a car with a 152-horsepower engine was sold with all-wheel drive.
Gearboxes were supplied in 4 variants. It's a five-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and a pair of six- and seven-speed robots.
Skoda Kodiak
The latest generation Kodiak Skoda is a family-friendly crossover that can accommodate three extra seats. The model got its name in honor of the bear, whose habitat is Alaska. These animals are the largest predators on land, and their family ties are very strong. Obviously, in this regard, the manufacturing company drew analogies, positioning this brand as a family car with large dimensions.
At first glance, "Kodiak" shines with style and modern performance. The signature front end features a distinctive grille withtransverse ribs, embossed hood cover, a little "floating" on the grille and with a badge attached to it. The LED headlights have an elongated, pointed shape.
"Skoda Kodiak" - the largest car of the company, it has considerable dimensions:
- length - 4 m 70 cm;
- width - 1 m 89 cm;
- height - 1 m 67 cm;
- wheelbase - 2 m 79 cm;
- clearance height - 19.4 cm.
Trunk volume is truly huge. In the five-seater model, it is 720 liters, and if without rear seats, then 2065 liters. The seven-seat version is a little more modest in volume, but still impressive: with full rows of seats - 270 liters, without the second and third row - 2005 liters.
