TheŠkoda Roomster (Type 5J) is asmall family car manufactured and marketed byŠkoda Auto from 2006 to 2015 over a single generation with a single intermediate facelift. It has a five-door, five passenger, front-engine, front-wheel drive, high-roof design and has been described as ahatchback,[3] anestate car, or amulti-purpose vehicle.[4] Styled byThomas Ingenlath and Peter Wouda, the Roomster premiered at the2006 Geneva Motor Show) as the first car marketed afterVolkswagen Group's takeover of Skoda, sharing theA4 (PQ34) platform and components with the second generationŠkoda Fabia.[5]
Assembled at theŠkoda factory in Kvasiny,Rychnov nad Kněžnou District, sales began in June 2006. A five-door, two-seaterpanel van variant launched in March 2007 as theŠkoda Praktik, a name used previously on a panel van version of theŠkoda Fabia Combi.
In October 2015, development of the second generation Roomster begun, spy shots of the new Roomster were taken that month revealing that instead of designing a completely new model, the second generation Roomster was to be a rebadgedVolkswagen Caddy.[6] In December 2015, development of the second generation Roomster was scrapped so that they could focus on the upcomingKodiaq mid-size crossover and another reason why development was cancelled is due to cost reasons, leaked images of the second generation Roomster without any camouflage were also spotted with an estimated 100 prototypes built before cancellation.[7]
The Roomster is based on theconcept car of the same name, announced in September 2003 at theFrankfurt Auto Show. The concept was slightly shorter – 4,055 mm (159.6 in) against 4,205 mm (165.6 in) – than the production model with a longer wheelbase – 2,710 mm (106.7 in) against 2,617 mm (103.0 in), and featured a single rearsliding door on the passenger side, which was replaced by two conventionally-hingedswinging rear doors.[citation needed]
The Roomster's cargo arrangement is marketed asVarioFlex, with 40–20–40 split rear seats that can move longitudinally or transversely (by removing the middle seat), recline up to 7°, fold forward[8] — or be removed to form a flat load surface. The load surface can raised or lowered 250 mm (9.8 in).

At launch, the Škoda Roomster usedfour-stroke engines from theVolkswagen Group. Petrol engines included themulti valve inline three cylinder 1.2-litre, with power initiallyDIN rated at 47kilowatts (64 PS; 63 bhp), but with launch of the second generation Fabia rated at 51 kilowatts (69 PS; 68 bhp), followed by the 1.4-litre and 1.6-litreinline four-cylinder EA111 engines, with power of 63 kilowatts (86 PS; 84 bhp) and 77 kilowatts (105 PS; 103 bhp) respectively. The 1.6-litre was also available with atiptronic six-speedautomatic transmission.[citation needed]
Diesel engine propulsion came from theinline three-cylinder 1.4Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI), with two power levels, base at 51 kilowatts (69 PS; 68 bhp) and "sport" at 59 kilowatts (80 PS; 79 bhp). The top option was a four-cylinder 1.9 TDI, with 77 kilowatts (105 PS; 103 bhp).[citation needed]
The Roomster could combine standard body colours (both solid andmetallic) with a white, black, or silver roof.[when?] An offroad-styled Scout trim level was introduced late 2006.[9] A single piecepanoramic sunroof is optional.[citation needed]

A facelifted Roomster premiered at the2010 Geneva Motor Show with a revised front fascia and fog lights. Inside, the facelift featured a revised steering wheel. Headlights elements were revised with their housing.[citation needed]
1.2-litre TSI turbochargedpetrol engines came as a replacement of the previous 1.4- and 1.6-litre MPI engines, providing significant improvements to fuel consumption and corresponding reductions in CO2 emissions.[citation needed]
TheAisin automatic transmission previously used was also replaced with the seven speed dual-clutchDirect-Shift Gearbox (DSG) (optional on 77 kilowatts (105 PS; 103 bhp) 1.2 TSi models), providing a reduction of over 30% in CO2 emissions for the 77 kilowatts (105 PS; 103 bhp) automatic derivative (compared to the previous 1.6-litre). Diesel engines were updated to thecommon rail system and four valve technology.[citation needed]
The manufacturer's combined consumption for the Roomster GreenLine with brand new 55 kW, 1.2-litre, three cylinder diesel engine is 4.2 L/100 km, which is 109 g CO2 per km.[citation needed]
The design of the Roomster Scout also evolved (front bumpers, front fog lights).
Skoda marketed from 2007 a five-door, two-seaterpanel van version of the Roomster called theŠkoda Praktik (Typ 5J8). Its cargo space is 1,605 millimetres (63.2 in) long, 1,016 millimetres (40.0 in) wide (minimum), and 900 millimetres (35.4 in) in height – giving a cargo load space of 1,900 litres (67.1 cu ft), and a payload from 550 to 640kilograms (1,213 to 1,411 lb). It also includes a moveable internal load bulkhead, 'hidden' underfloor storage, anti-slip load bay floor covering with six lashing points, and full length roof rails.[citation needed] It was never sold in RHD markets.
The model was targeted at Central and Eastern Europe.[11] The Praktik was facelifted in 2010, as with the Roomster.
