Steadfast Commitment to Safety

We experience the stability of Škoda cars at Natrax, both on the high-speed and handling tracks

SKODA'S COMMITMENT TO SAFETY has been evident since 2008 because they have consistently supplied us with products that have received a five-star safety rating globally. Fast forward to the present and their cars are at the top of the list of safe made-in-India cars. Their products built on the MQB-Ao-IN platform-the Kushaq and the Slavia-were awarded five-star ratings by the Global New Car Assessment Programme (GNCAP) recently. What is impressive is that they received five stars for both children and adult occupants. Of course, it helps to have a state-of-the-art crash laboratory and theirs is located in Polygon Úhelnice.

From our road tests of Škoda cars we were already quite familiar with their on-road prowess. Thus, when Škoda invited us to Natrax to sample these cars along with the facelift Kodiaq, we were curious to see how they would behave when pushed to the limit.
