Crossover’s are the flavour of the season and Skoda is one of the latest ones to launch a concept crossover. Skoda VisionS concept debuted at the Geneva Motor Show.
Based on the VolkswagenGroup’s Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB), this is ŠKODA‘s first vehicle to feature six seats across three rows. It is powered by 1.4 TSI with 156 hp and 250 Nm of torque. This works alongside an electric motor that provides 40 kW of continuous power and 220 Nm peak torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed DSG, which directs the power to the front wheels. The show car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds with a top speed of almost 200 km/h. 1.9 litres of petrol is all the car needs to travel 100 km.
The ŠKODA VisionS can go up to 50 km on electric alone, and will travel up to 1000 km with both systems combined. It measures 2.79-meter wheelbase, at 4.70 meters long, 1.91 meters wide and 1.68 meters tall at the tape. A second electric motor with up to 85 kW and 270 Nm of torque drives the rear axle. This works independently of the front axle drive, meaning the show car has a smart four-wheel drive, which requires no mechanical coupling.

The driver of the ŠKODA VisionS can choose between several modes of operation – from purely electric drive to charge modes, always with the goal of maximum efficiency. SKODA has provided large displays for infotainment services for all passengers, who can connect to the network several ways from each seat in the vehicle. According to the company, “the design is clearly influenced by Czech Cubism and the tradition of Bohemian crystal art. The lines are precise, sharp and clean-cut; the distinctive interplay of light and shadow on the contoured surfaces creates exciting effects, which are accentuated by the Island-Green color.”
