With SUVs and utes continuing to lead Australia’s sales charts, ANCAP has confirmed five-star ratings for three important passenger car and people mover models – the Skoda Superb, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the new hybrid Kia Carnival.
Skoda’s latest EV shows the Czech brand’s new design language and new logo. The Vision 7S SUV is a herald of change and highlights a focus on e-mobility, says Skoda.
The ongoing shortage of semi-conductor in the tech industry has caused numerous marques to consider removing chip-reliant technologies in their cars in order to maintain supply. Among the latest brands to cull features from their cars in order to keep deliveries going is Skoda.
For the 2022 model year Skoda has dropped the 2-litre bi-turbo diesel engine from its halo all-wheel-drive Kodiaq RS model, which will now run a 180kW/370Nm turbocharged 2-litre petrol engine with a 7-speed automatic transmission as per the Octavia RS lift-back and wagon.
