Skoda cars have strong performance when it comes to crash safety tests. Most recently, the 2024 Skoda Octavia received a 5-star overall rating from Euro NCAP, meaning the car achieved the highest rating possible for safety. Skoda prioritizes using high-strength steel in their chassis structures, helping to absorb impact energy and safeguard occupants in a crash. Skoda cars focus on advanced safety features for their vehicles such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Many Skoda models also offer advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as standard or optional features, such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Blind Spot Monitoring (BLIS) and Lane Departure Warnings. You should always feel safe when driving a Skoda, whichever model you choose to lease.
