Let’s talk about the front - this is the new face of all Skoda cars to come. Vision 7S rides on 22” rims which most likely won’t make it to the production model but make the concept look really cool. Company claims this is the safest place in the car and it's kinda hard to argue with them about it. Vision 7S is a light off-road family transporter, with 6 individual seats and 1 dedicated and centrally mounted baby seat. The vehicle is based on the MEB platform and it shares many components within the VW group, but the styling will be completely different, with no other brand offering a similar car. The company will use new materials and new manufacturing processes and interestingly it will increase its foothold in India - that was a surprise announcement.Ī lot of big changes for Skoda and what a better way to mark them than with a new car? The Vision 7S is a preview of the upcoming seven seat family car. To finish off Skoda’s bold plans, the company wants to reduce the CO2 emissions of its entire fleet of manufactured cars by 50% no later than 2030, it even is taking on independent consultants to help it to achieve that goal. It sounds a lot like marketing from NIO and since it seems to be working rather well for this Chinese competitor, Skoda wants to try it as well.
Throughout the whole presentation “human centricity” was used many times, Skoda wants to make sure its customers are happy and wants to offer more than just selling cars. Skoda will no longer pursue the image of the cheapest brand within the group and it will adapt a new approach - most value. Skoda is dropping its worldwide known logo and replacing it with a new lettering instead, the brand will use mainly green colors for its corporate identity with names such as Electric Green and Emerald Green. For now the company is not going to stop manufacturing combustion engines, but rather will focus on making them more efficient.
By 2030 Skoda wants at least 70% of manufactured cars to be all-electric. There will be 3 new all-electric models introduced by 2026 - a compact SUV, a small city car and a seven-seater family car based on the just unveiled Vision 7S. Skoda will differentiate from the VW group by making its designs to stand out completely and not just sell re-branded cars SKoda’s CEO, Klaus Zellmer, was very upbeat about the company’s future and new direction. There were rumors swirling around that Skoda is planning some big moves and the official announcement did not disappoint.
