Skoda Roomster Scout - Official

After the premiere of the Octavia Scout in Paris , Skoda is adding a second crossover vehicle to its passenger range, the Roomster Scout. Compared with the basic Roomster the Scout differentiates itself thanks to SUV inspired design elements such as the new bumpers the plastic side covers. As you can guess, no 4wheel drive here as the Roomster Scout is a typical front-wheel drive MPV. In the interior, the dashboard comes in the Onyx/Onyx and Onyx/Silver versions and the seat upholstery material is identical with that in the Octavia Scout.

Two four-cylinder petrol engines are available – 1.4 16V/86 Hp and 1.6 16V/105 Hp along with two diesel motors, the three-cylinder 1.4 TDI PD/80 Hp and the four-cylinder 1.9 TDI PD/105 Hp. All engines come equipped with 5speed manual transmissions, the 1.6 16V version is also available with the Tiptronic 6speed automatic. The Roomster Scout will have its world premiere at the Essen and Bologna motor shows in early December with market launch planned for March 2007.

Skoda Roomster Milotec

Czech tuner Milotec which specializes in Skoda cars presented their version of the Roomster MPV. From what we make from Milotec’s Czech speaking only site, the Roomster gets a dozen or so plastic add-ons like the grey colored door-mirror and mask covers, a new radio, a new set of 17’’ alloys but unfortunately, no engine kit.

SCOOP: 2008 Skoda Roomster Scout

These phone camera spy pics reveal that Skoda is working on an crossover edition of its new compact MPV, Roomster. Like the Octavia Scout, the Roomster Scout gets newly designed bumpers at the front and rear, body-colour side mouldings and profiled door sills. Protective strips on the wheel housings, sumpguard protection (front and rear) and the higher ground clearance complete the 4x4 package. But unlike its Octavia counterpart, I highly doubt that the Roomster Scout will get a 4x4 drivetrain.
