Amazingly elegant for a Skoda.
Skoda’s biggest debut at Geneva Motor Show this week is the Kamiq small cross-country, but the Vision iV concept deserves our attention. The crossover-coupe is a sign of the company’s large electrification agenda. It looks very sleek for a Skoda, and we are curious to see how its production models will look in the next 2-3 years.
Skoda’s first vehicle to ride on will be the Vision iV. Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform is expected to be the foundation for a variety of VAG cars over the next few years. Although the concept’s 22-inch wheels and illuminated will not make it into production, the sharp lines of the Scala compact hatchback show them off.
The interior’s minimalist theme is quite futuristic considering Skoda’s traditional approach to designing dashboards. This shows that the Czech brand is ready to make drastic changes in its interiors to keep up with modern times.
The electric concept has an electric motor at the front and another at the rear. It also features an all-wheel drive system. It integrates the flat lithium-ion batteries into the underbody. The battery can provide enough power to run for approximately 311 miles (500 km) in the WLTP cycle. It also doesn’t occupy valuable interior space as it sits beneath the cabin
Skoda plans to produce 10 electrified models before the end of 2022. The Superb plug-in hybrid will follow later in the year. Mlada Boleslav’s first model to completely lose its combustion engine will be released in 2020.
