SKODA Launches Dog Safety Accessories

Dogs love going for rides in the car, but the constant changes in velocity and direction can make it a dangerous place for man’s best friend to be.  SKODA is aiming to change that, with their new line of Dog Safety Accessories, including a Dog Safety Belt and Backseat Protector.  Attaching to the existing three-point seatbelt, the Dog Safety Belt is specifically designed to keep your pooch planted in the seat, and as such, should be able to be installed in just about any car.

Read more about the kit below.

  • Simply Clever features designed to keep hounds happy
  • Seat belts, covers and guards to secure all creatures great and small
  • Available as part of ŠKODA’s extensive Accessories range

Milton Keynes– ŠKODA is advising all dog owners to paws for thought before they take their furry friends on the great summer getaway. Thanks to its passion for safety and the protection of all occupants – whether four or two legged – ŠKODA has developed a comprehensive range of accessories designed to keep dogs safe and secure on the move.

The range, developed using ŠKODA’s acclaimed Simply Clever philosophy, combines the very latest in canine-cosy materials with high-tech structures to protect even the most boisterous of hounds. From simple seatbelts to barriers designed to give dogs an area of the car they can call their own, the range has everything the savvy dog owner needs.

Among the many accessories available through ŠKODA retailers is a Dog Safety Belt. This offers the simplest solution for a hound that likes to go walkies on the move. With a simple clunk-click of this specially-developed belt (which handily clicks into a lead for seamless car-to-walk manoeuvres), even the most unruly of mutts will be restrained for when the roads get twisty. The doggie seat belt comes in four sizes – from S to XL – meaning that everything from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane benefit. Prices start from £50 including VAT for the small version, with medium, large and XL costing £65, £75 and £85 respectively.

As millions of owners will testify, dogs are experts in embedding hair and mud in a car interior. Which is why ŠKODA has developed a neat Backseat Protector designed to minimise the impact of malting, muddy hounds. Whether you’re carrying a Chow in a Citigo or a Shih tzu in Superb, the ŠKODA Backseat Protector (£30 including VAT) does exactly what its name suggests. By attaching to the front and rear headrests, the protector forms a cosy hammock area. The material is water-resistant and has a non-slip surface to further increase safety on the move.

For those who like to treat their dogs to their own private grounds at the back of their estate, the ŠKODA dog guard is the accessory of choice. Available for Fabia, Octavia and Superb estate models, the grille is light and easy to install, and allows the driver a clear view of the road behind. For smaller dogs, ŠKODA also offers a system that divides the boot space into two – providing separate spaces for luggage and man’s best friend. Prices start from £105.50 including VAT.

Other ‘state of the bark’ accessories designed to keep owners and hounds happy include a range of tailor-fitted protective mats and inserts. The rubber boot mat is moulded exactly to the shape of the boot-floor and fits so snugly, it doesn’t require any special fixings. The ŠKODA Genuine Accessories range also includes a robust Plastic Protective Liner for the boot.

Additionally, the Rapid, Rapid Spaceback, Yeti, Octavia and Octavia Estate come with a double-sided floor covering for the boot as an option. One side is covered with carpet, the other side with a dirt and water-repellent material. When travelling with a friend with mucky paws, simply flip it over onto the easy-clean side.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
