With the Vision 7S concept, Skoda is previewing a future production EV while also developing a seven-seat big brother to the Enyaq SUV that might join showrooms by 2026.
The study resembles a seven-seat, boxy SUV with a clean drivetrain and fresh aesthetic cues. The new appearance, according to the Czech automaker, combines robustness, functionality, and authenticity, three of the brand's defining characteristics.
One of three EVs that Skoda plans to introduce in the upcoming several years will be based on the three-row electric concept car.
Skoda's innovative Tech-Deck Face front end, which is defined by a sizable bumper with integrated seven vertical slats, is first seen on the Vision 7S, the automaker's newest model. New T-shaped headlights are placed far out to the borders of a broad flat grille.
Similar design cues are carried over to the back, where T-shaped taillights match the headlights. The car has enormous 22-inch wheels that are blocked off for improved aerodynamics.
The flat roofline, which slopes to the back and has a fashionable roof spoiler, is another hallmark of the boxy design of the Vision 7S. Skoda's first model with matt body paint is the concept.
The clean design and clever ideas are hallmarks of a Skoda interior. Suicide doors open to reveal a spacious, light-filled area with accommodation for up to seven guests. The majority of the materials are sourced sustainably, and there is no leather whatsoever in the cabin. For instance, the drapes are manufactured from recycled polyester yarns, while the floor is constructed from recycled used tires.
It will be built on the same MEB electric platform as the company's Enyaq EV and other electric vehicles from the VW family, including the Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-Tron.
The idea, according to Skoda, has an 89 kWh battery that provides a range of more than 600 kilometers. Drivers of Enyaq vehicles may charge at a maximum rate of 120 kW, but Skoda claims the 7S can charge at a more competitive 200 kW.
