It was a revealed as a production model in March 2006 at the [[Geneva Auto Show]], with sales starting in June. It is built at the Škoda factory in [[Rychnov nad Kněžnou District|Kvasiny]]. A [[panel van]] version is sold as the '''Praktik'''. The Roomster is Škoda's first car since the [[Volkswagen Group]]'s take over of the brand that is not based on an existing [[Volkswagen]] platform. Instead, it shares components with the previous [[Škoda Octavia]] and the current [[Škoda Fabia]]. The name is reportedly a concious combination of the words 'Room' and 'Roadster', and the split personality theme is played out in the design with a carefully honed 'driving room' ahead of the b-pillars and a generous 'living room' the the rear. The Roomster therefore competes both in the [[mini MPV]] and [[leisure activity vehicle]] markets, which it will be sharing with the [[Fiat Idea]], [[Nissan Note]], [[Opel Meriva]] and [[Renault Modus]] ==Prototype== The Roomster is based on the [[concept car]] of the same name originally revealed in September 2003 at the [[Frankfurt Auto Show]]. The concept was slightly shorter (4055&nbsp;mm against 4205&nbsp;mm) than the production model but has a longer wheelbase (2710&nbsp;mm against 2617&nbsp;mm), and featured a single rear sliding door on the passenger side, which was replaced by two swinging rear doors. ==Engines== The Škoda Roomster takes its engines from its [[Volkswagen Group]] sisters. Petrol engines include the multivalve [[straight-3|three cylinder]] 1.2&nbsp;L, with power now at 51&nbsp;kW (69&nbsp;PS), followed by the 1.4&nbsp;L and 1.6&nbsp;L [[straight-4|four cylinder]] EA111 engines, with power of 63&nbsp;kW (86&nbsp;PS) and 77&nbsp;kW (105&nbsp;PS) respectively. The 1.6&nbsp;L is also available with a [[Tiptronic]] [[automatic transmission]], and is available on the most luxurious models. [[Diesel]] powers comes from the three cylinder 1.4 TDI, with two power levels, base at 51&nbsp;kW (69&nbsp;PS) and "sport" at 59&nbsp;kW (80&nbsp;PS). The most luxurious models get a four-cylinder 1.9 TDI, with 77&nbsp;kW (105&nbsp;PS). ==Cabin== Škoda conceived the Roomster's cabin in a way it can have different configurations at the choice of the user. 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 with an amplitude of 250&nbsp;mm. With the rear seats removed, the Roomster's luggage compartment has enough room to carry a bicycle. == Safety == The Škoda Roomster was rated in 2006 under the [[Euro NCAP]] car safety test programme as follows<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.euroncap.com/tests/skoda_roomster_2006/275.aspx|title= Skoda Roomster| author=Euro NCAP | accessdate=2008-01-29 }}</ref> : * [[Adult]] occupant = {{rating-5|5}} * Child occupant = {{rating-5|4}} * [[Pedestrian]] = {{rating-4|2}} == References == {{reflist|2}} ==External links== {{commonscat}} *[http://www.skoda-auto.com/global/model/roomster/homepage/ Škoda Roomster official website] {{Škoda vehicles}} {{Škoda}} [[Category:Škoda vehicles|Roomster]] [[Category:Mini MPVs|Skoda Roomster]] [[Category:Front wheel drive vehicles]] [[Category:Vehicles introduced in 2006]] [[Category:2000s automobiles]] [[bg:Шкода Румстър]] [[cs:Škoda Roomster]] [[da:Škoda Roomster]] [[de:Škoda Roomster]] [[es:Škoda Roomster]] [[fr:Škoda Roomster]] [[it:Škoda Roomster]] [[nl:Škoda Roomster]] [[ja:シュコダ・ルームスター]] [[pl:Škoda Roomster]] [[pt:Škoda Roomster]] [[sk:Škoda Roomster]] [[fi:Škoda Roomster]] [[sv:Škoda Roomster]]
