View of a Roomster - Introduction

This autumn Skoda will launch its first MPV, the Roomster.

It's a compact and flexible five-seater that neatly bridges the size gap between the company's Fabia and Octavia hatchbacks. Both of those cars contribute mechanical parts to the newcomer, including its six-strong range of petrol and diesel engines.

Roomster introduces a new front-end look for Skoda. The company's familiar radiator grille – 'the face of Skoda' – has been slimmed down and is neatly integrated into a one-piece nose with three lower air intakes/foglight housings and headlamp units that curve around the front corners of the car.

It's a treatment you'll be seeing on other future Skodas. Read on to find out more about the new car.
