Detailed analysis of the Skoda Scout 2.0 TDI 140 CV DPF 4x4 (2008-2009)
General description
The 2007 Skoda Scout 2.0 TDI 140 HP DPF 4x4 is an interesting proposition for those seeking a family vehicle with light off-road capabilities. Based on the Octavia Combi, this model stands out for its adventurous aesthetic and all-wheel drive, offering a practical and robust alternative in the crossover segment.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Scout, the feeling is one of solidity and safety. The 2.0 TDI 140 HP engine, with its 320 Nm of torque, offers a powerful and sufficient response to move its 1605 kg with agility. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 197 km/h show that it is not a slow car. The 4x4 traction, although not for extreme off-roading, provides extra grip on slippery surfaces or unpaved roads, instilling confidence. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, is well balanced to offer comfort on the road and absorb irregularities off it. The combined consumption of 6.4 l/100km is reasonable for a vehicle of these characteristics and weight.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Skoda Scout is clearly inspired by the Octavia Combi, but adds elements that give it a more robust and adventurous look. Specific bumpers, black plastic underbody protection, and 17-inch wheels with 225/50 R17 tires give it a distinctive image. The slightly increased ground clearance also contributes to its off-road aesthetic. Inside, it maintains the functionality and sobriety characteristic of Skoda, with a spacious cabin and a generous 580-liter trunk, ideal for families or those who need to transport a lot of luggage.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2007 Skoda Scout 2.0 TDI 140 HP DPF 4x4 incorporates practical and functional elements for its time. The direct injection diesel engine with unit injector pump, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, along with the particulate filter (DPF), ensures good efficiency and complies with emission regulations. The permanent all-wheel drive, although the exact type is not specified, is a key point of its technology, providing safety and capability off-road. Electric power steering and ventilated front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes contribute to safe and controlled driving. Although it does not have the latest connectivity innovations or driving assistants we see today, its technology focuses on robustness and functionality.
Competition
In its segment, the Skoda Scout 2.0 TDI 140 HP DPF 4x4 competed with models such as the Subaru Outback, the Audi A4 Allroad (although the latter in a higher price range) or even more equipped versions of compact SUVs such as the Volkswagen Tiguan or the Ford Kuga. Its main asset was to offer a combination of family space, light off-road capabilities, and a competitive price, while maintaining the reliability and practicality of the Skoda brand.
Conclusion
The 2007 Skoda Scout 2.0 TDI 140 HP DPF 4x4 is a vehicle that more than fulfills its purpose: to be a versatile family car, capable of tackling unpaved roads with solvency and offering good performance on the road. Its robust design, efficient diesel engine, and all-wheel drive make it a very interesting option for those looking for a practical, safe, and adventurous car, without sacrificing space and comfort. It is a faithful companion for everyday life and weekend getaways.
