Škoda’s Simply Clever features prioritise practical storage solutions for summer travel. Door bottle holders accommodate containers up to 1.5 litres across current models. Rear passengers can store 1.5-litre, one-litre or 0.5-litre bottles depending on the specific vehicle specification.
Additional storage appears in the rear tunnel area. A waste bin integrated into the door pocket helps maintain interior tidiness during journeys. The Easy Open cupholder in the centre console holds a 0.5-litre PET bottle securely. This design allows one-handed bottle opening while driving.
The boot area benefits from Škoda’s net programme and bag hooks. Cargo elements keep items securely positioned during transit. Bags hang from dedicated hooks while smaller objects rest in nets or secure with Cargo elements. Warning vests store in door panel compartments for quick safety access.
Advanced Device Charging Solutions
Modern Škoda vehicles offer up to four USB-C ports with 45 W outputs. These ports charge phones, tablets, headphones and power banks efficiently. The ventilated Phone Box prevents smartphone overheating during wireless charging sessions. This feature appears across various models depending on specification levels.
The Kodiaq and Peaq models enable simultaneous wireless charging for driver and front passenger. Rear-seat passengers access storage pockets on front seat backs. These pockets provide dedicated space for phones, books, tablets or headphones. Additional USB-C ports serve rear passengers in many configurations.
The Octavia and Superb models include the Sleep Package for extended journey comfort. This package enhances passenger experience during long summer trips. Electric vehicle models expand charging capabilities through innovative power solutions.
Emergency Preparedness and Journey Planning
The umbrella stored in the driver’s door remains a signature Simply Clever feature. Some models also include an umbrella in the front passenger door. This keeps emergency protection securely stowed yet easily accessible. Rain showers during summer outings no longer catch drivers unprepared.
The MyŠkoda app includes an AI-based trip planner for journey organisation. This digital tool simplifies route planning and destination management. Drivers access real-time information and alternative route suggestions through the interface. The system adapts to changing conditions during summer travel periods.
Electric Vehicle Power Innovations
Bidirectional charging represents a major Simply Clever addition for current electric models. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology uses traction battery energy for external devices. Users access power through a 230 V socket in the boot or via Škoda Genuine Accessories adapters. This connects to the vehicle’s charging socket for flexible power distribution.
Phones, laptops, cameras and power banks charge from the vehicle battery. Travel kettles and e-bikes also draw power from the electric vehicle. This capability transforms Škoda EVs into mobile power stations during outdoor activities. Campers and holidaymakers benefit from reliable electricity access anywhere.
Camp Mode for Overnight Adventures
Camp Mode enables occasional overnight stays inside Škoda vehicles. Activation occurs through the MyŠkoda app with simple setup procedures. The system maintains selected interior temperature throughout the night automatically. Continuous fresh air supply ensures comfortable sleeping conditions inside the vehicle.
The feature requires a battery charge of at least 30% for proper operation. A 12 V starter battery in good condition supports system functionality. A stable internet connection enables remote monitoring and control features. Climate control switches on and off to maintain comfortable temperatures overnight.
Users lock the car using the infotainment menu button to prevent alarm activation. This feature appears across all Enyaq models and Elroq vehicles. Even 2021 model year vehicles support Camp Mode functionality through software updates. The system monitors battery levels and adjusts power consumption accordingly.
Relax Package in the New Peaq
The Relax Package debuts in the Škoda range as an optional Peaq feature. This transforms the vehicle into a comfortable relaxation space during long journeys. Electrically adjustable, heated AGR-certified seats include massage functions for passenger comfort. Electrically adjustable ergonomic leg rests enhance seating positions during breaks.
Suite interiors add seat ventilation for enhanced temperature control. A premium Sonos sound system provides high-quality audio entertainment. The Wellbeing app offers six modes including relaxation, stretching and re-energising options. The app adjusts climate control, ambient lighting and seat massage functions automatically.
Front head restraints include cushions for additional neck support. A foldable table in the centre console provides workspace or dining surface. The seven-seater Peaq version stores the roller boot cover under the bonnet. This creates space when the third row of seats remains in use.
The front storage compartment holds charging cables and cleaning equipment. This keeps boot space organised while separating charging gear from personal items. The Peaq features the largest panoramic roof ever fitted to a Škoda vehicle. Dynamic Shade Control with nine adjustable segments shapes light exposure precisely.
Enhanced Digital and Comfort Technologies
Škoda’s electric SUV line-up received significant updates for the 2026 model year. The Enyaq and Elroq models feature modernised infotainment systems with Android-based platforms. New digital services integrate directly into the vehicle’s navigation interface. Enhanced driver-assistance features improve safety during summer highway travel.
USB-C ports now support device charging up to 45 W across the electric range. Qi2 Magnetic Power wireless charging delivers up to 25 W for compatible devices. One-pedal driving features via B-Mode maximise regeneration in stop-start traffic. This improves efficiency during urban summer driving conditions.
The Mobile Digital Key pairs customer smartphones with vehicles through the MyŠkoda app. Powerpass charging service integrates into navigation for simplified charging experiences. Travel Assist 3.0 receives new radars and sensors for precise lane guidance. Corner radars detect approaching vehicles at junctions with limited visibility.
Summer Travel Accessories and Protection
Škoda Genuine Accessories include transverse roof racks for additional luggage capacity. These practical additions fit vehicles equipped with longitudinal roof rails. The roof rack system supports various holiday equipment and sporting gear transportation needs. Weight capacity and dimensions suit most summer travel requirements.
Official sunshades protect passengers from excessive sunlight during parked periods. These removable accessories comply with traffic regulations across different markets. Custom-fit designs ensure proper coverage for specific Škoda models. Front and rear window sunblinds maintain cabin comfort during hot weather.
Body covers protect vehicle exteriors during extended outdoor parking. 3D all-weather mats preserve interior cleanliness during beach or outdoor activities. Air purifiers improve cabin air quality during pollen-heavy summer periods. Car care starter kits provide essential maintenance supplies for road trips.
