Mladá Boleslav, May 2nd, 2012 – ŠKODA expands its existing product palette to include attractive special models, colours and trim options for the 2013 model year. This will make the brand's portfolio around the Octavia, Fabia, Superb, Yeti, Citigo and Roomster even more diverse. Some novelties, such as the "Style" special models based on the "Ambition" trim level, will be available immediately, other options will be marketed from late May 2012.

Each of ŠKODA's model lines will become more diverse as a result of the 2013 model upgrading. ŠKODA's Superb, Yeti, Octavia, Roomster and Fabia models, for instance will be available immediately as "Style" special editions. All "Style" models are based on the "Ambition" trim level. The "Style" edition also includes new seat covers. The ŠKODA Superb Style also shines with its "Luxon" 18-inch wheels with an anthracite coating and an interior design in a piano lacquer look. The ŠKODA Yeti Style, for its part, sports "Annapurna" 17-inch alloy wheels and a two-tone finish.

"ŠKODA customers love the brand for its attractive product portfolio, its roomy, family-friendly cars that are functional and have a great price-value ratio," says Jürgen Stackmann, ŠKODA board member in charge of sales and marketing. "Our growth plans build on the introduction of new models and a continuous improvement of our existing palette. I am convinced that the novelties we are offering our customers under our 2013 model upgrading will provide a further lift to the impressive results we are currently achieving in over a hundred markets worldwide."

Model year 2013 innovations enhance customer value, especially through higher comfort and greater safety in ŠKODA vehicles. From late May 2012, for instance, software updates will be available for "GSM II" and "GSM III" hands-free kits and for the "Amundsen+" navigation system and also for vehicles' air conditioning systems.

The ŠKODA Citigo, the youngest family member in the brand with the winged arrow, will be available with an automated gearbox (ASG) and can also be ordered as a version for left-hand drive traffic. Weighing in at less than 30 kilogrammes, the ASG is among the lightest automatic transmissions ever built. It will make its own choices as to when to switch gears taking fuel consumption into consideration. The driver no longer needs to operate the clutch but can still shift gears manually if he should wish to. Other innovations for the Citigo include "Night Blue" and "Leaf Silver" metallic paints and "Haydn Blue" or "Quicksilver" interiors.

The Yeti model line can now be ordered with a "GSM III Premium" hands-free kit which was hitherto restricted to ŠKODA's superior model lines. Also new for the Yeti are "Erebus" alloy wheels with 17-inch rims.

Customers considering a ŠKODA Roomster can now opt for an attractive "Bicolor" design variant with a differently-coloured roof and decorative foil in the roof's colour on the car's side panels.

Except for the Citigo, ŠKODA's entire model offering will add another attractive body colour called "Storm Blue." "Storm Blue" will replace the existing "Safari Beige" tone.

ŠKODA 2013 model upgrading will become effective from the end of May 2012. ŠKODA "Style" special models have been available since mid-April 2012.
