New Skoda Roomster in Stockport
Overview
The Skoda Roomster has been designed to offer a high level of comfort as well as be a practical vehicle. It is an MPV and the design allows the driving area and the ‘living’ area to be separate. An overhaul to the design has ensured that it now has a more refined appearance. Many of these design changes have been carried out to the front of the vehicle, which now sports a wider appearance. The car is a front-wheel drive vehicle and has a five-speed manual gearbox. The Roomster is also a great economy car and is becoming very popular for those who require a spacious vehicle.
Exterior details
The exterior of the Skoda Roomster underwent a revamp in 2010 and the wider grille and the new design of the headlights has ensured that it looks wider. Customers are able to choose from a range of colours, and some options have a metallic finish. There is also a choice of finish on the wheels, with both steel and alloy options available.
Interior details
The interior of the Skoda Roomster has been designed for maximum comfort. The rear seats have been given ‘Varioflex’ combinations, which ensure that the seats can be reclined backwards or moved forwards. The seats can also be taken out to increase the boot space, which has the potential to reach 1780 litres, while there is space of 480 litres with the seats up. A range of steering wheels is available for the Skoda Roomster, and these can be either 3 or 4 spoke. An option on some models is to have the controls for the stereo and Bluetooth telephone system on the steering wheel. The upholstery in the car can be part leather, or there is a range of cloth upholsteries available. There are no less than two air conditioning systems in the vehicles; some systems are manual while others have climate control air conditioning.
Performance details
The Skoda Roomster models have been given engines – both petrol and diesel models – that are both cleaner and more efficient. The petrol engines are ideal for those who need better fuel economy, while the diesel engines are great for reducing carbon footprint and damage to the environment. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 99 miles per hour, and can reach a speed of 62 mph in 15.9 seconds. The fuel tank can hold 55 litres. The braking system is a hydraulic dual circuit system that has vacuum-assisted brake boosters for additional safety.
