Emergency call/ecall+

A very important safety feature is the Emergency Call/eCall+, which is free of charge for the car’s entire lifetime. In the event of accident, a connection to the emergency centre is automatically established. Data such as the location, direction of travel, number of passengers and severity of the accident is forwarded. Professional assistance can then reach the site as quickly as possible.

All-wheel drive

Selected Škoda models are available with state-of-the-art all-wheel drive, guaranteeing optimal driving dynamics and the highest level of active safety in all circumstances, including in the wet and snow. Discover which models offer AWD and more about how it works.
