Škoda safety

As one of our priorities in the development of Škoda cars is to offer you and everyone on board the maximum possible level of safety, Škoda models feature the most advanced safety equipment, protecting occupants effectively if there is an accident and even actively preventing emergencies from occurring in the first place. Explore all the systems that will ensure that you feel safe whenever you are at the wheel of a Škoda.

All new Škoda models have been awarded the maximum 5-star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests.

With all the advanced technology within our reach, it’s easy to overlook the one thing that makes every drive truly safe. And that is you. The driver.

Since drivers are the most important safety feature, it’s crucial to know the basic and not so basic principles of safe driving. That includes understanding how to make the best use of safety assistant systems. We’ll show you. Using an example of the two most common driving situations – driving in dense city traffic versus long distance driving.

Check out this detailed overview of all the safety features you can find in a Škoda, encompassing advanced driver assists, the protection of children on board, and a rundown of the safety equipment in each of our models.

The main purpose of airbags, in tandem with the seat belts, is to prevent the occupants’ bodies from coming into contact with any rigid parts of the car, or at least to minimise the consequences of any such contact.

Every parent will insist that the top priority is to protect the smallest passengers whom standard safety belts cannot help. We agree, so in all Škoda's you'll find useful safety features effectively protecting all small travellers.
