Everything Starts with Safety

To say that ŠKODA AUTO have raised the bar for safety in the affordable segments is an understatement. As carmakers who take safety very seriously, they know that it is not about adding equipment, but rather, starting out strong in the first place. Here is why they lead the charge on safety

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE ROOF OF ALL the ŠKODAs are laser-welded on to the monocoque frame? That procedure is almost exclusive to luxury cars. It leaves no ungainly seams or folds, so to speak, and blends seamlessly-literally with the flow of the bodywork while adding manifold to safety. This has been the practice for over a decade and it continues to this day with the new KUSHAQ SUV and SLAVIA sedan. And that's just scratching the surface of safety from the ground up. Engineering safety right at the design and development stage is what makes European engineering the preferred choice of many when it comes to safety-their own and of their loved ones on the road.

Safety is not an add-on; it forms the foundation of building a good car. That's where the concept starts. Only then can it truly make a difference. ŠKODA brings all the learnings over the years and integrates them into strikingly modern packages that appeals to all the senses. Be it the SUPERB, OCTAVIA and SLAVIA sedans or the KODIAQ and KUSHAQ SUVs, or even their first electric vehicle, the ENYAQ from the present. Right since ŠKODA entered India in 2001 with the OCTAVIA, their cars have always felt robust. Right from the feel of the door when one opens it, to the deep, high-quality muffled thud when the door is shut, and the texture of the cabin materials and trim feel a cut above the rest and convey dependability and a strong build.
