Skoda the latest brand to ditch safety tech amid semiconductor shortage

The Volkswagen-owned Skoda brand has issued a bulletin to dealers advising
some safety features will be deleted from certain Kodiaq family SUVs – while
particular variants of the Scala hatch and Kamiq small SUV will be paused
until further notice.

VW集團的SKODA 通知經銷商將取消Kodiaq特定車款的部份安全功能，
未來 Kamiq 及Scala hatch部份特定車款甚至會公告暫停生產。

Certain variants of the Skoda Kodiaq family SUV will soon be delivered
without a number of key safety features – but come with a minor price drop –
while Skoda Australia will also stop offering certain versions of its Scala
hatch and Kamiq small SUV until further notice.

特定Kodiaq 市售車款將會拔掉一些關鍵安全功能--但也同時降價--
Skoda澳洲甚至將公告停售部份Kamiq及Scala hatch車款。

The Volkswagen-owned Skoda brand is the latest automotive brand to discreetly
remove certain safety technology and luxury features – or delete model
variants – amid the global semiconductor shortage, in an attempt to keep car
assembly lines moving.

Skoda成為最新一個為因應晶片缺口而減配安全科技及豪華配備、或特定車款的品牌。

A confidential 14-page bulletin sent to Skoda dealers in Australia outlines
the changes.
However, the Skoda Kodiaq's missing features are still listed as optional on
the Skoda Australia website – and on a brochure downloaded by Drive today.

僅管通知已經發給經銷商，但澳洲SKODA官網及電子目錄卻仍可看到這些將被刪除的配備。

The confidential dealer notice says the Skoda Kodiaq "Style" model (pictured
above) will for the time being not be available with the option pack that
includes the 360-degree camera, "side assist" (Skoda's term for blind-zone
warning), rear cross-traffic alert, the electric child safety lock on the
rear doors, and the 12-speaker Canton premium audio system.

給經銷商的保密通知中提到，Kodiaq的style車款選配裡將不再有360環景、側邊盲點警示
、後方橫向車流警示、後門兒童安全鎖、Canton高階音響。

Drive understands the removal of these features will not impact the Skoda
Kodiaq's ANCAP safety rating, however blind-zone warning and rear
cross-traffic alert are two of the most useful and accurate pieces of
advanced safety technology in modern cars.

這些拔掉的安全配備對Kodiaq的ANCAP評等將不會有重大影響，
但不可否認側邊盲點警示、後方橫向車流警示是實用且精確的安全科技。

The Skoda Kodiaq is still equipped with nine airbags, autonomous emergency
braking, and a rear-view camera – among other safety aids.

Kodiaq仍會有9氣囊、自動緊急煞停、後方鏡頭等其他的安全輔助配備。

Dealers who had ordered a vehicle with this option pack will instead be
issued a refund of $1091, according to the bulletin.

經銷商若接單該項減配的的選配，將可退款約3萬台幣。

Last week, Peugeot became what is believed to be the first car company in
Australia to delete airbags due to the semiconductor crisis.

澳洲 Peugeot 上週為因應晶片缺口減配安全氣囊。

In the Peugeot Expert van, two of the vehicle's four airbags have been
deleted in Australia until further notice.

Other brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz have also removed some safety
features in Australia over the past 12 months.

澳洲 BMW、Benz在過去一年內也減配安全配備。

心得/說明：(30字以上)

因應晶片缺口，澳洲SKODA拔掉某些不影響安全評等，但卻實用的安全配備。
但反觀澳洲BMW、Benz、Peugeot卻早就明著這麼幹。
顯見SKODA的良心不分區域及國籍，都是各車廠裡的高標。
相信台灣SKODA一定能稟持初衷，守護台灣消費者的安全及荷包。繼續接單熱賣。
