ŠKODA PRESS CONFERENCE & VIDEOS

HIGHLIGHTS

At the exhibition, the spotlight will be on the world premiere of the ŠKODA VISION X design study, which offers a look ahead to further developments in the model range. The extensively revised ŠKODA FABIA will be making its debut and the ŠKODA KODIAQ L&K, the new range-topping variant of the popular SUV model line-up, will be presented to the public for the first time.

ŠKODA VISION X

An emotionally rich study that focuses on automotive sustainability and agility

In addition to its vision of a modern crossover, the Czech car manufacturer is also providing a glimpse of a third model for the successful SUV family with the ŠKODA VISION X. The study transfers the brand-typical design language used in the SUV models into a further vehicle segment. The VISION X also features crystalline design accents inspired by traditional Bohemian glass art. The large touchscreen display is new and enables a new operating concept in terms of infotainment and connectivity. The hybrid drive concept is particularly innovative: it couples a CNG-powered (compressed natural gas), four-cylinder, turbo engine with an electric drive and thereby allows for particularly low fuel consumption and emissions.

THE NEW ŠKODA FABIA

Bestseller in the small car segment with an extensive range of new features

The comprehensively revised ŠKODA FABIA is also making an attractive entrance. A modified design at the front and rear provide the exterior with an appearance that is as elegant as it is dynamic and modern. In addition, LED headlights and LED rear lights are available for the first time. Inside, a newly designed instrument cluster and redesigned seats provide fresh visual highlights. The range of driver assistance systems and ‘Simply Clever’ features has also been expanded once more. From now on, the ŠKODA FABIA and ŠKODA FABIA COMBI will be powered by responsive and efficient petrol engines. There is a choice of four engines with power outputs ranging from 60 to 110 PS.

ŠKODA SCOOTER

The new ŠKODA scooter concept made of aluminium alloy weighing just five kilograms but is capable of carrying a weight of up to 100 kilograms. High-quality bearings and wheels in polyurethane guarantee an equally fast and comfortable riding experience. Rubberised steering grips ensure agile and safe handling. The colour and styling of the new scooter have the unmistakable signature of ŠKODA design. When it is folded up, it only measures 41cm high and 48 cm long.

Innovation Tunnel

The centrepiece of the ŠKODA stand is the Innovation Tunnel, where detailed and interactive displays inform visitors about the VISION X study. On the right side of the tunnel smart solutions will be visible. Through a story it will be possible to get information about the ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab apps, the longboard and other new elements.

On the opposite side materials used in vehicle production will be shown. The design of interior surfaces will be on show, as will the high quality of the components that have been used. The materials used in the exterior can also be experienced in a variety of ways in the Innovation Tunnel.

In addition, ŠKODA is giving visitors a glimpse into the brand’s current connectivity and mobility services. At the end of the tunnel, displays and tablets also provide visitors in an interactive way with comprehensive information about the VISION X concept study.
