News and weather. New applications will appear on the screens of the new Škoda cars

Today, you can usually read news or weather data in cars of premium brands, but Škoda’s new offer shows that even these online services are falling into the lower price levels of the market.

The Weather application displays the current weather situation at the location of the car, and also offers a forecast for the coming days. The precipitation radar shows the current weather conditions. In addition, the application can also show meteorological warnings. The driver can also request messages for the navigation destination, for any points on the route and for selected and saved favorites.

He cooperates with the Czech press office of ČTK on the Škoda News application, but not only with it. The user also has the option to add up to 5 other news feeds, by connecting an RSS code. You can also choose individual preferred thematic areas such as politics, economics or sport.

Škoda offers the service as free only for one year from the installation, after which it is going to charge an unspecified fee. Once launched in the compact Scala and Kamiq models with Amundsen infotainment, applications are also available for all plug-in Superb iV hybrid cars with Columbus infotainment.

At the beginning of October, after the transition to model year 2021 and with a new generation of infotainment, the applications will also be available in the remaining superb variants and in both Kodiaq and Karoq SUV models, again with the top Columbus infotainment.
