Skoda VisionC Concept



Škoda VisionC is a five-door coupé with expressive styling and dynamic elegance. Its design language is a striking development of the new design line adopted three years ago. Elegant lines accentuate the vehicle's exciting proportions. Škoda Chief designer Jozef Kabaň and his team have achieved a unique combination of soft, light contours, concave and convex surfaces as well as sharp, precise lines. Surfaces and proportions convince with a clear structure, the interplay of light and shade is crisp, the edges are clearly defined. For Kabaň, "avoiding all ornament and frills is essential."



The coupé's front has a self-assured and dynamic look. The wide radiator grille and distinctive shape of the headlamps with their tapering triangular form dominate the powerful front end. The headlamp contours are sharp-edged, like cut glass crystals. In combination with the fog lamps, also triangular, they give the car an expressive, three-dimensional four-eyed look.

From the side view, Škoda VisionC appears neat with clean lines. "The form is intended to look attractive. We have dispensed with superfluous corners and edges," says Kabaň. The high tornado line, the low-lying front windscreen and the short overhangs emphasise the vehicle's dynamic distinctiveness. The same goes also in particular for the sharp waistline which starts on the elegant bonnet at the wings, snugly and naturally hugging the sides.

The shape of the tail is dynamic, exciting and unexpected. Maximum 3-D design creates a sculpture-like shape. The new tail light design is a brilliant distinctive touch. The C-shaped lights, a typical Škoda form, are divided into two parts, with the C being separated horizontally through the middle. The upper part is in the tailgate, housing all the lighting functions. The lower part of the C is formed by the reflector elements (cat's eyes) inset into the bumper.


In addition to its sophisticated design, the Škoda VisionC is iconic in terms of functionality and environmental friendliness. The design shows off the conceptual talents of the Škoda engineers: design, technical features, space, functionality and the emotionally-charged coupé shape combine to make a very impressive package.

The Škoda VisionC has plenty of space for four people and their luggage. Typically Škoda are the large tailgate and the generous boot space. In addition, state-of-the-art MQB technology, a close-to-production drive system, light weight and optimised aerodynamics all demonstrate great potential for 'sensible' individual mobility with optimised environmental values and the best possible value for money.


The Škoda VisionC has outstanding emission values thanks to the innovative CNG drive, light bodyweight and excellent aerodynamics. The technology under the bonnet is an up-to-the-minute and state-of-the-art bivalent 1.4 TSI/81 kW CNG and petrol turbo engine which will accelerate the vehicle up to a maximum speed of 214 km/h.

In CNG mode, the vehicle only consumes merely 3.4 kg or 5.1 m3 natural gas per 100 kilometres, corresponding to a CO2 output of just 91 g. This value emphasises the study's closeness to reality and is significantly below the much-discussed limit decreed by the European Commission for 2020. Here Škoda shows that even attractive mid-range vehicles with conventional drive technologies can achieve ambitious CO2 values.
Maximising aerodynamics and minimising weight were priorities for the Škoda engineers. Perfect interaction between design and technical enhancements have resulted in a drag coefficient for the Škoda VisionC of just 0.26. In terms of weight optimisation, Škoda has used carbon fibre for the gas tanks and extra-light hot-formed steel. Important bolt-on parts such as the wings, bonnet and doors are in aluminium.
