Style and functionality. Additional options for driving pleasure

A large group of new car buyers attach great importance to the appearance of the car, as well as elements that enhance driving pleasure. The choice of such equipment is very wide.

For many drivers, a positive driving experience and the appearance of the vehicle you drive are extremely important. This includes That is why manufacturers offer customers countless additional items that not only increase driving pleasure, but also make the appearance of the vehicle more attractive. Sometimes swapping out regular feathers for alloy wheels gives the car an even more chic look.

　There are also practical advantages to using aluminum rims. It is about their impact on greater driving safety. These discs are often lighter than steel discs and dissipate heat better, resulting in better brake cooling.

Alloy wheels are accessories included in the list of equipment of all car manufacturers. For example, one of the most popular brands in Poland - Skoda offers an extensive catalog of such wheels. For example, up to 13 alloy wheel designs can be selected for the Fabia. They also include color options - red or black painted rims.

There are many options for choosing accessories when customizing an interior. For example, the XNUMX-spoke multifunction sports leather steering wheel with chrome accents and Piano Black trim looks impressive. It is convenient for dynamic driving, has buttons for controlling the audio system and telephone.

On the other hand, the Fabia buyer who values ​​comfort more than dynamic driving can opt for a special package called "comfort". It includes: Climatronic automatic air conditioning, Swing Plus radio (with Skoda Surround audio system and SmartLink + function), rear view camera, keyless entry into the car and engine start, heated front seats.

Speaking of chairs. One of the attributes of the dynamic style of the cabin are sports seats, popularly called bucket seats. Seats of this type have protruding lateral backrests as well as generous head restraints, which means that the body does not slip on the seat and the driver can then enjoy even more driving pleasure.

Bucket seats can be found, for example, in the equipment list of the Octavia. They are part of the Dynamic Sport package, which also includes red or gray upholstery and a spoiler lip on the body in the Liftback version.

As for the mechanics, it is worth choosing a DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. In this type of transmission, engine torque constantly drives the wheels. There are no breaks for switching, as in a classic machine. At the moment when the range of one gear ends, the next is already included. In this way, the car accelerates dynamically, and the driver, in addition to the joy of sporty driving, enjoys comfort, because he does not have to change gears manually. If he so desires, he can use the sequential switching mode.

The Octavia's equipment also has something for lovers of modern technology. For example, instead of the classic analog clock, they can order the Virtual Cockpit, that is, the digital instrument cluster. At the same time, this is not a visual gadget, but a functional device that allows you to adjust the display view to the current needs of the driver. This display allows you to combine on-board computer data with other information (navigation, multimedia, etc.).

Skoda's latest model, the Scala, also has a number of features that allow the driver to enjoy a safe and dynamic driving experience. This is possible, for example, with Full LED headlights with AFS light adaptation. It works in such a way that at a speed of 15-50 km / h the light beam is extended to provide better illumination of the edge of the road. The cornering light function is also active. At speeds above 90 km/h, the electronic control system adjusts the light so that the left lane is also illuminated. In addition, the light beam is slightly raised to illuminate a longer section of the road. The AFS system also uses a special setting for driving in the rain, which reduces the reflection of the emitted light from water droplets. The kit also includes front fog lights with Corner function, i.e. cornering lights.

In terms of body design, the Scala has an extended tinted trunk lid and black-painted rear-view mirrors. You can add chrome strips along the bottom line of the side windows, giving the car the look of an elegant limousine.

In the interior, you can choose elements such as ambient lighting - red or white. This is a narrow band in the cockpit that emits a discreet red or white light after dark. For white ambient lighting, you can also choose gray or black decor with a copper-colored trim strip on the dash.

Black decor is also available on the Dynamic styling package, which also includes sports seats with integrated headrests, a multifunction sports steering wheel, black headlining and decorative pedal caps.

Of course, this is only a small part of the equipment options in terms of various accessories that a buyer of a new car can choose from. Before making a final decision, you should carefully study the list of available equipment.
