This sketch is a preview of the Skoda VisionC concept that will be revealed at the Geneva motor show in early March.
Based on the same MQB platform and wheelbase as the Skoda Octavia, the new "five-door coupé" will echo the styling of the Volkswagen CC, with lower roofline, shallower side windows and more steeply raked windscreen. Unlike the VW, the new car will have a hatchback, rather than a conventional boot.
The new model is intended to provide Skoda with a much-needed glamour boost globally in a range that is currently dominated by well-regarded but thoroughly practical models.
Officially, Skoda says that the ‘VisionC’ design study also indicates the next step in the "development of the Skoda design language", but the carmaker is known to have a more rakish version of the Octavia in its product plan.
