What is Skoda Simply Clever?

Learn more about Skoda's Simply Clever tagline and how it makes their vehicles that little bit more useful

Simply Clever refers to Skoda's design philosophy in which they pack their cars with features and gadgets that are simple in nature but provide ingenious solutions to everyday and age-old problems.

Skoda has four criteria for what makes something Simply Clever:

Simple - No complex procedures or lengthy processes, just solutions that are quick and easy to understand and use.

Ingenious - Ideas and gadgets that feel like a real lightbulb moment, think things like carrier bag hooks in the boot that stop shopping from spilling over or moving around. Ideas that make you think "That's smart".

Peerless - Features that are unique to Skoda models and in some cases are even patented.

Accessible - Features that aren't locked behind options lists or top spec models, many Simply Clever features are fitted to models as standard equipment. 

Now you know what Simply Clever means, scroll on to learn about a few of these ever-helpful gadgets.

Door Edge Protection

The automatically deploying protector which pops out and covers the doors' furthest edge helps to save scratches and damage to your car and others in tight carparks. 

Umbrella Compartment

Most Skoda's have a compartment in the front doors where an umbrella can be stored, perfect for those quick dashes to the door from the car when it's raining. These compartments are water-resistant to prevent damp entering the cabin and can also accommodate a hand brush if desired.

Integrated Washer Fluid Funnel

Under the bonnet drivers can find the washer fluid reservoir with a cap that opens out into a handy funnel. We've all been there trying to pour a big container of screenwash into a tiny filler cap and splashing it everywhere, the funnel thankfully makes one of those annoying messy jobs that bit easier.

Ice Scraper

We've all been caught out by the first deep freeze of winter, stuck with a windscreen and windows iced over. Luckily for those of us with a Skoda, tucked behind the fuel filler door (or bootlid in some models) in it's own slot is an ice scraper that conveniently also has a tyre tread depth gauge on the sides. Keeping your windows clear and helping you make sure your tyres are safe.

Virtual Boot Pedal

We don't always have our hands free to open the boot without risk dropping things. A sensor on the underside of the bumper of select Skoda models becomes a 'virtual pedal' where a waggle or wave of the foot activates the pedal and pops the boot open for you.
