Skoda VisionS Concept: The Details

VisionS has a design, which is clearly influenced by Czech Cubism and the tradition of Bohemian crystal art and this is due to its precise lines that are sharp and clean-cut. These lines perfectly accentuate the Island-Green exterior color.

The concept car rides on a 2.79-meter wheelbase, and has a length of 4.70 meters, 1.91 meters width and 1.68 meters height. It is also based on Volkswagen’s Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) and is the first Skoda vehicle to be equipped with six seats across three rows.

The brand has also announced that the SUV will be powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain, with a total power of 225 hp (165 kW). Therefore acceleration happens from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. The top speed is limited at 200 km/h.

Having this kind of drivetrain means low fuel consumption, which in this case is 1.9 litres of petrol for 100 km. the emissions have been rated at 45 grams CO2 per kilometer. Furthermore, the VisionS can drive up to 50 km on electric alone, and will travel up to 1000 km with both systems.

Speaking of the powertrain, it comprises of an internal combustion engine, which is a 1.4 TSI with 156 hp (115 kW) and 250 Nm (185 lb-ft) of torque, and an e-motor that provides 40 kW of 40 kW continuous power and 220 Nm peak torque. Everything is integrated within a six-speed DSG that sends the power to the front wheels. There is a second electric motor, which delivers up to 85 kW and 270 Nm of torque drives the rear axle.

Here’s the deal: both motors work independently from each other and this means that the show car features a smart four-wheel drive, which requires no mechanical coupling. In addition, Skoda VisionS driver can choose between several modes of operation – from purely electric drive to charge modes. The e-motor is connected to a lithium-ion battery with a 12.4kWh capacity, which is mounted in front of the rear axle.

At last, we must say that the interior of the SUV concept is generous and includes three rows of seats, for optimal comfort of optimal number of passengers.

VisionS is going to make its world premiere at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show this March. The company is carrying over their new emotive design language into the SUV segment with the unveiling of this innovative SUV show car. In addition, the concept will provide a glimpse of brand’s future large SUV model.

In other words, Skoda’s new design language emphasizes these three aspects: aesthetics, functionality and crystalline effects. The new styling philosophy was first introduced two years ago through the VisionC study, and was subsequently launched into series production with the Fabia and Superb. This means that the design of the VisionS will be probably transferred into a production Yeti.

As mentioned, this is the first of Skoda’s four VisionS promotion videos. In all of them Jozef Kabaň and his team explain what drives and inspires them in the development of company’s design language. Stay tuned, because more are coming soon!

Another premiere in Geneva, but this time by Skoda. The company is going to debut its brand new design study called VisionS Concept. Through it Skoda aims to preview the future modern design language in the SUV segment. The show car is said to look very closely to the production one, representing a perfect balance between aesthetics, power and function.

Back in 2014, Skoda released the VisionC design study, and to continue this approach, now the brand is transferring this to the SUV segment. The name VisionS clearly shows that ‘S’ stands for SUV. Speaking of which, it will be larger than the Yeti model, and will have length of 4,700mm and width of 1,910mm. Adding a height of 1,680mm, is what contributes for show car’s perfect presence on the road.

On the outside, Skoda VisionS features edgy and sharp lines, highlighted by crystalline design elements. This effect is even further strengthened via the strikingly chiselled surfaces. Furthermore, the front bonnet has contours flowing towards the brand logo. The wide grille and four tapered, high-set LED headlights characterize the face of the show car. There are also crystalline elements in the vertical struts in the grille and on the logo, which are tribute to the Czech art of crystal-glass design.

At the sides, the future Skoda SUV continues the sharp design language, while the angular wheel arches highlight the off-road character of the vehicle. The upper-shoulder contour forms a deep groove over the sills. At the back, the VisionS has a strong diffuser insert, large exhaust pipes, shallow rear lights with dynamically cut crystalline housings and the characteristic C-arm, which begins at the rear lights, runs into the flat reflectors in the bumper.

At last, there are some details revealed for the interior of the car, too. The cabin is large and features three rows of seats, thus offering enough space for six people. Stay tuned for more details coming prior Geneva Motor Show.
