Below is an introduction to Skoda: 1. The birth of Skoda: Skoda originated from the Czech Republic, known as the city of automobiles, and has a history of over a hundred years. It transitioned from bicycle production to automobile production. Under the influence of economy and war, Skoda could no longer continue operations and had to seek multi-party cooperation. 2. Skoda was acquired by Volkswagen: Finally, in 2000, the German Volkswagen took a liking to the Skoda automobile brand, and it was officially acquired by Volkswagen, becoming one of its brands. In 2006, Skoda officially entered the Chinese market and, with the support of Shanghai Volkswagen, established a large production base in China. The Octavia series of Skoda was improved, and a series of new models were launched to meet the actual needs of the Chinese market.
Having driven four Skoda models, I can tell you that common gear shifts fall into two main categories: Manual transmissions feature the classic H-pattern with gears 1-5 plus R (reverse), where reverse requires a push-down to engage, preventing accidental shifts. For automatic transmissions, the basic layout prominently displays PRND—P for parking lock, R for reverse (often activating the rear camera), N for brief coasting, and D for all-purpose driving. Many models also include an S mode next to D, which instantly revs up to 4000 RPM for powerful overtaking, while paddle shifters behind the steering wheel allow quick downshifts with a finger flick. For manual hill starts, remember to use the AutoHold function of the electronic parking brake to free your right foot and prevent rollback.
