Technical characteristics of Škoda 105/120 (742)

Before the facelift in 1983, the saloon had the following dimensions: 4160 mm, 1595 mm and 1400 mm in length, width and height respectively. Road clearance was 170 mm. The capacity of the luggage compartment was 280 litres. But it could be up to 400 litres in versions with folding rear seats.

Both suspensions were independent: the front – with MacPherson struts, the rear – with swing axles. Front brakes were disc-type, the rear ones – drum-type.

The engine was mounted in the rear part of the car. This vehicle was rear-wheel-drive. But, unlike most cars of that time, the radiator was mounted in the front, thus ensuring better engine cooling.
