With its current portfolio of four all-wheel-drive models, ranging from the compact Octavia through to the Superb, SKODA is one of the longest-established brands to feature all-wheel-drive technology. The first multi-axle drive systems were tested in Mladá Boleslav as early as the late 1930s. The 4×4 success story, the first chapter of which was written with a SKODA Octavia COMBI 4×4, began in 1999. Since then, SKODA auto has produced a total of more than 700,000 all-wheel-drive vehicles. Interest in SKODA’s all-wheel-drive cars is so high, that the Czech manufacturer has added three other cornerstones to its 4×4 range in the past three years. SKODA’s 4×4 model range now includes the KAROQ, Octavia, Kodiaq and Superb.
