Skoda Roomster 2009 Oman Prices & Specs

VW-owned Czech carmaker Skoda diverged from simply building rebadged versions of dull VW products, and created something totally original. Dubbed the Roomster, it is billed as a "leisure activity vehicle" that pushes the boundaries of the non-SUV crossover genre. Sharing components with the last-generation Octavia and the current Fabia, the Roomster is supposed to be a combination of "room" and "roadster," although we are pretty sure it is more of a hostel bed-space than a sports car. Škoda conceived the Roomster's cabin to have different configurations. The rear seats, which are taller than the front seats, can be folded in a 40-20-40 split configuration, instead of the more usual 40-60, and can also be moved longitudinally and transversally by removing the middle seat. The rear seats also have variable inclination up to 7° to the back, or completely to the front. The luggage compartment can have a completely flat surface with the rear seats completely removed, and the surface's height can also be modified. The only available engine is a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder, shared with the Fabia. The main transmission choice is a 6-speed automatic with manual-shift capability, although a manual might be available on request. Available safety features include as many airbags as you'd like, as well as ABS brakes and optional stability control.
