60SkodaTHE NEW ŠKODA ENYAQ iV WILL GET YOU IN 60 SECONDSThe ŠKODA ENYAQ iV all-electric SUV was test-driven by renowned car enthusiast and journalist Alex Kersten. What can he tell you about the new car in the space of one minute?

Outstanding design and amazingly quiet running: those are just two of many benefits of the new all-electric ŠKODA ENYAQ iV. The short video made by British motoring journalist Alex Kersten delivers a clear verdict: "The big radiator grille, LED Matrix headlights and shaped bonnet give character to the front, while the sloping roof and big 21 inch wheels make it a car that looks like it's doing 160 km/h even when it's standing still."

Alex goes on to mention the range of options the ENYAQ iV offers customers. Six individual interior design versions, three battery sizes offering a range of up to 520 kilometres in the WLTP cycle, rear or all-wheel drive, and five power and performance levels topping out at 220 kW.

"Driving the ENYAQ iV is a lot of fun thanks to its rear-wheel drive, low centre of gravity and 50:50 weight distribution," Alex adds. It's obvious the cornerstone of ŠKODA's electric era made a big impression on him. Soon he will take a much closer look at the ŠKODA ENYAQ iV with a full review.

Alex Kersten

The thirty-six-year-old motoring journalist is best known for his work at Car Throttle, a YouTube channel that began back in 2009. Before he joined Car Throttle in 2011, where he is in charge of video content, he worked for various car magazines, including Autocar. Alex comes from London and is a big ŠKODA fan. He created quite a stir with his series of videos about a second-hand first-generation ŠKODA OCTAVIA with 700,000 kilometres on the clock that he and his colleagues picked up for just 200 pounds. Alex is active on social networks as @autoalex.

59SkodaENJOY YOUR FREEDOM – ON YOUR BIKE AND BEHIND THE WHEELThree mountain bikes, three bikers and a ŠKODA KAROQ SPORTLINE - you can enjoy freedom and thrills on a bike or in a car. All you have to do is join the ride.

What better way to put an SUV through its paces than driving it into the mountains? Three experienced mountain bikers chose the SPORTLINE version of the ŠKODA KAROQ to get them there. It can easily handle off-road driving, even when fully loaded up with the bikes, not to mention helmets, cycling clothes and shoes, something to change into for the night, as well as food, sleeping bags and a tent.

Your key in your pocket and enough energy for everyone

Its keyless system means you just have to grab the door handle and the car will open. A press of a button and the engine switches on and starts to purr softly. Before the car and its four occupants reach their destination, it's time to charge their phones. Luckily, the KAROQ has four USB ports, so nobody is left out. The sunroof lets them see that the bikes are just fine.

Traffic jams? No problem

Using the big touch display on the dashboard, Anna enters the destination in the navigation system. First, though, they need to inch their way through the city’s heavy Friday traffic. They’ve hardly been driving for a few minutes before they end up in a traffic jam on the way to the motorway. It’s the ideal opportunity to test out the Traffic Jam Assist function. The assist system takes over the tedious start-stop work in the traffic jam. Endlessly moving your foot from the brake to the accelerator is a thing of the past.

The ŠKODA KAROQ SPORTLINE can handle off-road driving when fully loaded up.

Connected to everything

At last the motorway stretches out before them. The adaptive cruise control does more than just keep the car moving at the specified speed and at a safe distance from the car ahead. It’s predictive, which means that it can “read” the navigation system’s maps. So it will automatically reduce speed whenever there’s a sharp bend, roundabout or built-up area approaching. The sense of safety is enhanced by the fact that the car is constantly connected to the surrounding world. In the event of a fault it will get in touch with a service centre. And if, heaven forbid, you have an accident, it will call for help. Enjoying a thrilling off-road ride on two wheels…

Eyes in the back of its head

Anna really appreciates the Blind Spot Detect function, which warns her about cars behind her – even at a distance of seventy metres. And the car’s sensors can even spot cyclists! Door Alert warns the driver not to open the door when a cyclist is passing, which is a common cause of nasty accidents. Rear Traffic Alert comes in handy when you're parked in a line of cars and want to reverse out. The system sees cars, cyclists and pedestrians approaching from behind and warns the driver, so you don’t have to try to peer through the windows of the cars parked around you.

A little piece of sky

“Did we attach the bikes to the roof rack properly?” the three bikers ask Anna. Their concern is understandable, because their bikes are far from cheap. But no fear, you don’t even have to stop the car to make sure everything’s secure – the sunroof lets you see that the bikes are just fine. … and on four.

Sporty handling

Once the car has turned off the motorway, the rest of the journey is on local roads. Now Anna comes to life: it’s clear she’s really looking forward to all the twists and turns. Even more so when she flicks the automatic transmission into sport mode, which lets the engine push up the revs and change gear later than usual. And the driver? With a broad smile on her face she enjoys every second of the journey.

Who’s the DJ?

Good music also helps the journey pass faster. Thanks to the wireless connection between your phone and the car’s audio system, you can play your favourite tracks on Spotify, say. And when Anna gets a call from some friends, she can chat to them without having to take her hands off the steering wheel. The sporty SUV is the ideal partner for fun in the mountains.

When you’ve run out of road

The foursome would have almost reached journey’s end in an ordinary car, but six kilometres before their destination they run out of road. The only way forwards is along a bumpy track covered in rocks, tree roots and holes. But it's no trouble for the ŠKODA KAROQ. Its big tyres quietly eat up the track. When one of the wheels skids, all-wheel drive activates itself almost unnoticeably and the car keeps pushing forwards. The system constantly calculates the optimal distribution of torque between the two axles, making off-road driving smooth and safe.

53SkodaŠKODA SUPERB iV RECUPERATING AROUND JEŠTĚDAs ŠKODA’s first plug-in hybrid, the SUPERB iV ushered in lots of new features. Hop in as it ascends the iconic Ještěd peak and recuperates on the way back down!

Explore some of Czechia’s loveliest spots while discovering the practical advantages of electric cars. The first destination chosen by our guide Anna is Ještěd, a peak embellished with the unique structure of a television transmitter built at the turn of the 1960s and ’70s.

Ještěd

Ještěd is a peak 1,012 metres high located to the southwest of the city of Liberec in North Bohemia. Although it is only the 347th highest mountain in Czechia, it is one of the best-known, thanks to the unique television transmitter and the hotel that has been open since 1973. The building is in the shape of a single-piece circular hyperboloid and is almost 100 metres tall. The structure was designed by Karel Hubáček, co-founder of the acclaimed Czech architecture studio SIAL. In spring 1969 Karel Hubáček received the August Perret Prize, the highest award of the International Union of Architects, for his creative use of technology in architecture. In the year 2000 the building was declared the “Greatest Czech Building of the 20th Century”.

Thanks to her plug-in hybrid ŠKODA SUPERB iV, Anna’s journey from the pretty village of Kryštofovo Údolí was swift but consumed minimal fuel. With its 13 kWh battery housed beneath the floor of the luggage compartment, the SUPERB iV can travel up to 62 kilometres on electric power alone.

Beneath the bonnet the SUPERB iV has a four-cylinder 1.4 TSI petrol engine generating 115 kW as well as an 85 kW electric motor. A six-speed DSG automatic gearbox delivers power to the wheels. By using the transmission selector lever, Anna helps gain the maximum benefit from energy recuperation on the drive from Ještěd back down to the village. This makes the electric motor “reverse” its function, so electricity flows back into the battery instead of discharging from it. The energy is generated by engine braking while driving downhill.

54SkodaFROM FIRST TO FOURTH. THE NEW FABIA HAS A LOT TO LIVE UP TOThe fourth-generation ŠKODA FABIA has revealed its silhouette for the first time. It will represent a huge step forwards in terms of technology and design as well. Let’s take a look back at how the first generation was born back in the past century, and how it might have looked.

Judging by the first released images of its silhouette, the fourth generation of the popular FABIA model will have reworked proportions and will offer state-of-the-art technologies, improved safety and even a bigger boot.

The new FABIA is built on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB-A0 platform for small cars with transversely mounted front engines. This platform has allowed the fourth-generation FABIA to grow in all directions. Although ŠKODA will not fully unveil the new FABIA until spring, we already know that its luggage space will be 50 litres bigger than its predecessor’s. A stiffer body and a modern array of safety and assistance systems will enhance the driving experience and both active and passive safety.

What’s more, the fourth-generation FABIA will be endowed with a modern EVO petrol engine with low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions. Customers will also be able to choose between a manual gearbox and a DSG seven-position automatic transmission. This will make the new ŠKODA FABIA one of the most universal models in its segment, just like the first generation presented in 1999 was.

New technology and new design

The first-generation FABIA followed up the FAVORIT and FELICIA models that date from the 1980s. By the end of the millennium the FABIA had become the definition of a small urban car and family car for the 21st century. The new model’s name continued its predecessors’ tradition by starting with an F. The first ŠKODA FABIA became the first modern ŠKODA car for the B-segment (called “supermini” in Anglo-Saxon countries) that was developed entirely under the aegis of Volkswagen Group.

The first-generation FABIA used what was then the group’s latest platform for small cars, known as PQ24. So compared to its predecessors, it was genuinely a brand new model with new technologies and design. The brief sounded simple. “We were given the basic dimensions and technical specifications dictated by the platform, and our job was to design a modern, but still a relatively conservative small car,” recalls Václav Capouch, who was exterior design coordinator in the ŠKODA design team. In the end, three alternative designs were produced in parallel. Besides Václav Capouch’s version, designs were made by Belgian Luc Donckerwolke and Brazilian Raul Pires.

The three different interpretations by three different designers provided the first outline of the future FABIA. What they all had in common was that the body was noticeably more rounded at the back of the roof and around the rear windows than in the final design. Although the three versions were different, they had some obvious features in common: the bold line of the sides with a clean, flat surface, and the way the sides of the car were separated from the other surfaces with one pronounced line running from the front bumper to the rear lights.

Designers of the first generation

The design of the first-generation ŠKODA FABIA was the work of a team of around twenty designers. The team was composed of experienced experts and young talents drawn from all over the globe. ŠKODA’s design chief at the time was Dirk van Braeckel, and the exterior design coordinator was Václav Capouch, who had previously worked on the “Bertone” FAVORIT and its successor, the FELICIA. In addition to him, Luc Donckerwolke and Raul Pires, there was Martin Uhlárik, a Canadian with Slovak and Czech roots, who worked on the interior design. The model’s derivatives were largely designed by Daniel Petr, who works in the Czech carmaker’s design department to this day.

44SkodaKEEPING YOUR FRONT AND REAR WINDSCREENS CLEARThey’ve been with us for over a hundred years and have hardly changed. They are still rubber blades that sweep water off a glass surface. But did you know that windscreen wipers were invented by a woman?

We take them for granted and usually forget how important they are. But have you ever wondered where windscreen wipers came from? Do they all use the same kind of motor? Why do some washer nozzles emit a diffused spray and others a direct jet? And how are they tested?

The wiper blades are tested over five hundred thousand cycles, but it’s a good idea to replace your blades much sooner, every six months.

Two types of motor

The movement of windscreen wipers across the front or rear windscreen is made possible by a hidden linkage mechanism driven by a direct-current electric motor. “In smaller cars like the FABIA or SCALA we use a simple wiper motor for the windscreen. We call this kind of motor rotary, as the motor’s crank attached to a shaft rotates around its own axis. The motor does not have a control unit. The operating logic – i.e. when to activate the wiping motion and at what speed – is controlled by the car’s control unit. Naturally, the advantage of this system is its simplicity, while the down side is the limited functionality compared to reversible motors,” explains Pavel Švejdar, an expert from the Wipers and Washers department.

We therefore find reversible motors in higher-end models. They operate by means of controlled synchronous rotation of the shaft in line with the currently required output, swing and speed. As a result, this design is quieter and smoother and offers a wider range of functions, such as a lower park position allowing the wipers to be concealed beneath the edge of the bonnet when they aren’t in use. But the rotary version also offers convenient functions like the service position (you can find out here how to put the wipers in that position), slower wiping when stopped at a junction, or rain-sensor control (you can find out more about sensors here).

ŠKODA cars and wipers

As the first models didn’t have a windscreen, there was nothing to wipe. It was only the last LAURIN & KLEMENT and first ŠKODA model – the L&K-Škoda 110 that was made from 1925 to 1929 – that had wipers, but only certain versions of the model. Since then, though, all the Czech carmakers’ cars have had wipers and later also washer units.

Fine-tuning in a wind tunnel

“The motor itself is connected to a kinetic mechanism via which the rotary movement is transmitted to the wipers. Development places great emphasis on the functionality and robustness of the system as a whole at low and high temperatures and at high speeds. We also pay close attention to the noise generated by the system. The system is designed to function flawlessly at temperatures from minus thirty to plus seventy degrees,” says Švejdar, adding that the wiper blades are tested over five hundred thousand cycles. Needless to say, it’s a good idea to replace your blades much sooner, with experts recommending that new blades should be fitted every six months.

Front windscreen wiper testing

When work starts on the development of a new car model, the amount of available space, the surrounding parts and the design of the car itself are factored into the design of the wiper system. The wipers supplier then adapts the basic design to its technologies. Testing is done by both the carmaker and the wipers supplier. The process as a whole takes roughly three years.

Rear windscreen wiper testing

The wipers’ behaviour is fine-tuned down to the smallest detail in a wind tunnel. The propulsion system, the curve of the frame, the pressure exerted and the shape of the flexor have to be perfectly calibrated so that airflow does not lift the blade off the glass in places. Considerable attention is also paid to the ideal interaction of wipers and sprays, in conditions ranging from stationary to a car’s top speed. This should make it obvious that original wipers are very different from generic products that are usually intended for a wide range of models from various manufacturers. By contrast, original parts are tailor-made for a specific model.

Do your wipers jump?

In higher-end models with reversible wiper motors ŠKODA uses two park positions for the windscreen wipers: basic and extra. Maybe you’ve already noticed that from time to time when you switch off the engine or set off, the wipers seem to jump - even though it’s not raining and you didn’t touch the wiper stalk on the steering wheel. This is a protective function that prevents deformation of the rubber blade that might result from remaining in the same park position for a long time when the wipers are idle. The alternation of the two park positions is controlled by an internal algorithm defined in the wiper motor control unit’s software.

A wider area, or more stability at high speed?

Great attention is also paid to windscreen washer sprays during development. The key issue is their location, which must allow the washer fluid to cover the largest possible active (i.e. wiped by the wipers) surface of glass as evenly as possible in all conditions, at all speeds and with all types of fluid. Another objective is to make sure the washer sprays are not distracting: so the jet of fluid should be as even as possible and there should be no excess noise. In addition, there should be no moving fluid when wiping is deactivated.

43SkodaSUPERB iV FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE: LET'S KEEP THE AIR CLEANFor photographer Jan Řeháček, aka Kopernikk, his week with a ŠKODA SUPERB iV was his first experience of a hybrid. How does the influencer rate the car and why did he take it into the Krkonoše national park?

Czechia’s highest mountain range has three interesting and picturesque spots that Jan Řeháček wanted to visit. The hybrid ŠKODA SUPERB iV took him and his dog Sitka there. “That week was my first experience of an electric drive, and I have to say that I really like the idea. In my view, it’s the industry’s future and the best solution to cars’ impact on the environment,” enthuses the photographer who admits that he has become concerned about his carbon footprint recently. “Sitka and I spend a lot of time in the mountains and the countryside in general, so it’s important for me to know that I’m behaving responsibly in my work.”

As soon as he crosses the boundary of the national park, Honza switches to purely electric power. Naturally, that runs down the battery, but on the journey back, with long descents from the mountains, the battery recharges thanks to braking recuperation. “When I reached the top of the climb there was just around eight or nine per cent of the battery left. The journey back down then charged the battery to forty per cent. I think that’s just wonderful,” says the influencer with over half a million followers.

Last but not least, he appreciates the car’s connectivity. “I like the functions of the My ŠKODA app because I can check the state of the car before heading off – I can see how much battery charge is left or how much petrol there is in the tank. The app is easy to use and nicely designed.”

Kopernikk

Jan Řeháček aka Kopernikk is a Czech photographer and content creator for advertising campaigns on social networks. He describes himself as a life-long dreamer. He started taking photographs seven years ago on a trip to the mountains that changed his life, sparking a desire for new experiences and the serenity of nature. Accompanied by his dog Sitka, he uses his camera to capture the beauty of nature, but he also points his lens at interesting urban sites. He has 530,000 Instagram fans and 37,000 Facebook followers.

“My next car will be a hybrid”

How would you rate the hybrid SUPERB iV?

Having the chance to test-drive this car was great, and I will be delighted to tell everyone I come into contact with about my positive experiences.

What specifically did you like about it?

Lots of things: the electric drive, parking assistant, window heating and the whole remote control functionality. Oh, and the huge luggage space – I never imagined that the tons of stuff I carry around with me would fit in the luggage compartment so easily.

Would you buy an electric car?

Last year I started to worry more about my carbon footprint, and I see this kind of car as a great way to minimise it. I don’t know if my next car will be a SUPERB iV – maybe it’ll be an OCTAVIA iV, but I already know I’ll make sure my next car is a hybrid.

ŠKODA SUPERB iV

Combined fuel consumption of as little as 1.5 litres per 100 km, an electric drive range of up to 62 kilometres, a 1.5 TSI combustion engine and a combined power output of 160 kilowatts. Those are this environmentally friendly limousine’s impressive vital statistics. Under the bonnet of the ŠKODA SUPERB iV you’ll find a plug-in hybrid set-up that combines the best of traditional and electric powertrains. The result is a dynamic but green drive. Needless to say, the SUPERB iV is crammed full of convenient driver assistance and safety systems, automatic parking and innovative lighting. This is crowned by state-of-the-art connectivity that lets you remotely charge the battery with just a smartphone, for example.

When designer Daniel Hájek inspects the good-as-new ŠKODA 1203 during the photo shoot, memories come flooding back: “We have a flatbed version like that in the garden of my grandparents’ house, but it’s not roadworthy any more.” And when he adds that “it was kind of my first car, we used it on our farm, and when I was fifteen they let me start the engine now and then and drive it around the field,” it’s clear that it was no accident he chose the legendary ŠKODA utility vehicle for the Icons Get a Makeover series.

But his choice was not only driven by nostalgia. “Yes, I talked about it with my colleagues and they said that if I have experience with the 1203 I could try to reimagine it for the new millennium. But I also think a vehicle like this would be great for the ŠKODA brand today,” says Daniel. In his view, it’s a vehicle that perfectly embodies the brand’s values: practicality, a lot of interior space and Simply Clever solutions.

In his vision the “new” 1203 is a modern camper with a “pop top” roof. “This kind of car has been gaining in popularity recently, so in the end that’s the kind of design I went for. But my first idea was to design a peloton escort vehicle for the Tour de France,” says Daniel, referring to the Czech carmaker’s well-known involvement in the world of cycling.

Not retro

When working on his study of a modern ŠKODA 1203 he tried to bring the legendary van’s design into the 21st century. “I wanted it to be clear from my study that this is the same vehicle, but I didn’t want it to be too obviously retro. I designed a modern vehicle that pays homage to the legend,” he says of the philosophy behind his study. Overall, his main goal was to come up with a pure design. “I wanted it to be timeless,” he explains.

So Daniel’s 1203 got a “double peak”, as the designer describes the slightly protruding edges of the roof and radiator grille that have sharper lines than the rounded features of the original. He replaced the 1203 horizontal perimeter lines with the “tornado line” that typify today’s ŠKODA cars and endowed his creation with a very up-to-date light signature. “I thought long and hard about how to reference the original’s round lights without them being too retro. That’s why there’s just a hint of some curves here, but otherwise the light signature is new and bold,” says Daniel.

The vehicle’s rear end was the toughest nut to crack for Daniel. “The original 1203 is relatively narrow. Modern cars are much broader, and what’s more I was trying to come up with a way to reference the headlights, which were the same on the 1203 as on the 1000 MB,” he explains. So the van is optically widened by the horizontal lines. The slanting sides and relatively narrow roof pay homage to the 1203’s slender frame.

ŠKODA 1203

The ŠKODA 1203 was the most widely used Czechoslovak utility vehicle of the 20th century. It was first unveiled on 14 September 1968 at a machine engineering trade fair in Brno. These vans played a role in the whole lives of Czechs and Slovaks: from the cradle (ambulance version) to their final resting place (hearse version), not to mention in the form of minibuses, vans, flatbeds or assembly versions. This utility vehicle with a single-space body was powered by a four-cylinder OHV engine generating 38 kW. At first the model was manufactured in Vrchlabí, but in 1981 production was moved to Trnava in Slovakia, where the 1203 was made right up to the second half of the 1990s.

Variability is paramount

In Daniel’s vision, the new 1203 stands on the Transporter platform that is also used by Volkswagen Group. But it could easily be all-electric as well. “An electric car would allow for an even better use of space,” he says. The interior is dominated by a minimalist dashboard, which also features distinctive horizontal articulation, and a horizontal two-spoke steering wheel.

The shelf in the shape of an upside-down wing in the lower part of the dashboard is also a nod to the historic 1203. This shelf contains storage space and, interestingly, is retractable. “A slide-out shelf could get in the way in a normal car, but in a van it’s practical.”

As far as infotainment is concerned, at first sight it might seem that Daniel failed to capitalise on his special skills. As a designer of user interfaces, his work deals with the appearance and functioning of infotainment systems, but his 1203 doesn’t actually have one. “The idea is that the driver uses his own device, like a smartphone or tablet, to access this information,” says Daniel, adding that he could, of course, design a special app for these devices to control the vehicle’s functions. The dashboard only has a small information display behind the steering wheel and next to the ventilation vents. The display is mirrored by a plate bearing the model's name in front of the passenger seat.

Daniel sketched his 1203 with a biro and finished it off on the computer. “It’s my favourite way of working. What’s more, I always have a biro with me. Using it leaves no room for mistakes, and a felt-tip makes a fairly characteristic line, so my sketches are a bit different: less dynamic and more illustrative,” he explains.

Daniel Hájek

This 31-year-old Czech designer’s career has been bound up with ŠKODA right from the start. After studying graphic design and packaging technology at higher vocational school in Štětí, Daniel then went to the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art in Pilsen. There he channelled the passion for cars he’d had since childhood by specialising in transport vehicle design. He joined ŠKODA in 2016, while still a student, and worked on his degree project in collaboration with the Czech carmaker. He is now a user interface (HMI) designer, so you can find the fruits of his labour in the dashboard systems of the ŠKODA OCTAVIA and ENYAQ iV. He also contributed to the VISION X, VISION RS, VISION iV and VISION IN prototypes. In his free time he creates his own, highly surreal artworks under the pseudonym DENI.

32SkodaOCTAVIA iV FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE: I DROVE BETTER THAN USUALA great family car: safe, comfortable and with lots of clever features. And environmentally friendly. That’s how influencer and mother Tereza Salte described the ŠKODA OCTAVIA iV after test-driving it for a week.

Journeys to work, taking her son to kindergarten, shopping trips. That is the kind of day-to-day driving Tereza and her family did when trying out the plug-in hybrid for a week. She appreciated the car’s spaciousness, among other things.

“We have tons of stuff, so a car like this is practical for us. One of the things we liked was that you can hang your shopping bags on hooks in the boot, so your shopping doesn’t end up strewn all over the place,” she laughs.

One little thing that really delighted the influencer on cold mornings was the heated steering wheel. “I also like the car’s robustness – it makes you feel safe. And the fact that the car watches out for you – if you find yourself in a dangerous situation, it can brake by itself, it warns you if you stray out of your lane and things like that. I don’t think I’m the best driver in the world, but in this car I had the feeling that I was driving a bit better than usual,” she says with amusement.

And how did Tereza like the plug-in hybrid’s electric drive? “It’s wonderful that recuperation lets the battery charge on the go. And what I particularly appreciate is how much petrol you save – we managed most day-to-day trips into town using just the electric motor, and the sixty-kilometre range was more than enough for us,” Tereza concludes.

Tereza In Oslo

First and foremost a mum who often believes that if you plan your life right you can make your dreams come true – that’s how Tereza Salte, an author and podcaster, describes herself. Her husband John Erik is Norwegian. They have lived in Oslo for a long time but have now settled just outside Prague. Tereza is the author of the popular blog Tereza In Oslo, in which she tries to inspire readers with her own life story – above all those who want to follow their dreams and just need a bit of encouragement. Her almost 60,000 Instagram fans and over 10,000 Facebook followers are proof of her success.

“This car was a nice surprise for our family.”

How satisfied were you with the ŠKODA OCTAVIA iV?

It was a very pleasant surprise. It’s a great car I’d recommend to my friends and family as well as my readers and listeners. Genuinely.

What specifically did you like about it?

It’s a very user-friendly car. Connectivity, for instance. Your phone starts charging by itself, automatically starts playing music from a chosen playlist and so on. Getting connected is far easier than in other cars we’ve had.

What did your son think about it?

He loves red cars, so that’s what got him most excited. (laughs) And the nice and loud audio system, he likes that. He also liked the good view from the rear seat – he likes to watch me and husband drive. And I liked how easy it was to install a child seat - I managed it by myself without any difficulty.

ŠKODA OCTAVIA iV

All the advantages of the Czech carmaker’s bestseller combined with electric power – that’s the new hybrid OCTAVIA iV. The all-electric drive in town is backed up by a 1.4 TSI combustion engine for longer journeys. The total power output is 150 kilowatts; maximum torque is 350 Nm, and the electric motor makes it possible to achieve an overall petrol consumption of less than two litres per 100 km. It comes with state-of-the-art technology and perfect connectivity – all you need to control the car is a smartphone. Press a button and you can charge the battery from anywhere or turn on the air-conditioning before a journey.

31SkodaICONS GET A MAKEOVER: A NEW TAKE ON A SPORTING LEGENDWhat would the legendary ŠKODA 130 RS look like if it was made by a contemporary designer? Enter the world of designers’ imagination and find out what inspires them.

As Aymeric Chertier walks around the magnificent specimen of the 130 RS in the ŠKODA Museum, he can't hide his admiration. "This car was made with one clear purpose that radiates out of it. It was meant to be fast, and it was designed and constructed accordingly. Everything serves that purpose: the body shape, the roll-bar, the seats, the overall arrangement of the interior. Everything was created with function in mind, so that this car would be the fastest," he describes. It's evident that he loves cars that have a clearly defined purpose and function and that contributing to the Icons Get a Makeover project by reimagining the 130 RS was a labour of love for him.

"It is that essence, that purpose, that I tried to transpose into my modern interpretation of the 130 RS," Aymeric explains. He learnt to think hard about the essence of a product during his university studies. "The industrial reality is a bit more pragmatic. Our products are the result of compromise and respect the risk represented by the huge investment in them. The investment simply has to pay off," he says, describing the principles of his day-to-day work. With his modern interpretation of the 130 RS, though, he was able to take the shackles off his imagination and create a car that was anything but a safe bet, a car that arouses passions and wants to be a real piece of sporting equipment, just like the 1970s legend.

His study of the 130 RS is therefore more than just a stylish car that wants to turn heads with a retro design inspired by a successful racing model. "In its day, the 130 RS was a car that broke down many barriers and was completely out of the ordinary," says Aymeric, possibly without realising that his statement is true in more than one sense. That's because the 130 RS, a product of the then communist Czechoslovakia, broke out of the confines of the communist bloc. The car's international success earned it the nickname "the Porsche of the East".

Load-bearing structure

He based the study's exterior design on the original model. "I wanted to refresh the original car, not change it. I retained its essence and characteristic lines and added certain details that we know from modern WRC cars, for example," the designer says, explaining the retro feel combined with the distinctive muscular shapes of his car. While his 130 RS stays true to tradition from the outside, inside it is innovative and breaks down barriers. Aymeric designed a brand-new roll-bar that forms part of the car's basic structure. "It isn't a bolted-on safety cage, but an integral part of the chassis. The structure holds the entire interior, supporting the dashboard, seats and doors and embracing the gearstick," he says. "I wasn't interested in showing off by designing a beautiful and exotic interior. Right from the start I was creating something with a function and a clear purpose," he stresses.

Another part of the concept is the innovative dashboard, which is basically one large display with three different information zones. In front of the driver there is the traditional set of data on speed, revs per minute and other key parameters. In the middle zone there is more detailed information, such as the temperature of the car's fluids and engine performance or navigation data. And on the right, in front of the navigator's seat, is a zone for additional information, such as the image from the car's rear camera.

ŠKODA 130 RS

One of the most successful ŠKODA racing cars was based on the mass-produced ŠKODA 110 R coupé. The 130 RS was given lots of modifications, though, like reinforcement struts and a roll-bar, aluminium body panels and a 1,298 cm3 engine that was souped up to deliver around 103 kW. The ŠKODA 130 RS regularly won races in its engine class, but also finished in top positions in the overall qualifications at rally events and circuit races. Its greatest achievements include victory in its class at the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally and becoming European championship winning brand on the touring car circuit in 1981. Around 200 ŠKODA 130 RS cars were made from 1975 to 1980.

Old school

It took several hours for Aymeric to put together the basic concept of the design. That was followed by work on the details. "I'm a bit old-school: I do everything with pen and paper. I quickly sketch out the basic architecture and then fine-tune the proportions and individual lines," says Aymeric, describing his modus operandi. In this case, he only turned to his computer in the very last phase. "On the computer I add colours to the project so that it is easier for the general public to understand," he says, adding that he basically knows the whole time what the finished article will look like. If something doesn't turn out exactly how he imagined, or if his bosses want him to rework something, he reverts to pen and paper. "It might be less efficient, but it's the way I know how to think and create," he laughs.

Aymeric remains realistic about his study's fate. "Even though my bosses and I like the vision, it will remain a vision. The ŠKODA design studies we present to the public always have some connection to something we're preparing," he says, explaining why he accepts the fact that his modern ŠKODA 130 RS will remain on paper. "But it would be fun if I could escape from reality again and at least make a little model," Aymeric dreams.

Aymeric Chertier

Since early childhood, the designer of Spanish and French descent would draw cars, and at secondary school he managed to win an internship at an automobile manufacturer. There he fell in love with this field, and later he studied at France's Strate School of Design. He started his first job in an automobile manufacturer in 2011. At SEAT three years later, he got to know the VW Group environment, and he has currently worked in the interiors section of ŠKODA Design for two years. He plays the guitar and piano. He enjoys woodwork and loves architecture, with Le Corbusier and Santiago Calatrava among his favourite architects.

Visually impaired children, people with a disability who learn to take care of themselves, and assistance dogs. Donated ŠKODA OCTAVIA cars are a great help for the individuals mentioned above and for many more besides. See how ŠKODA helps others help.

ŠKODA Storyboard set off on the trail of three ŠKODA OCTAVIA cars that are helping those in need.

For infants and pre-school kids

Imagine you’re looking forward to a new addition to your family and happy moments with your baby, but the reality is an endless round of medical examinations and bad news: your child won’t ever walk, won’t learn to speak, won’t be able to see... It’s a huge blow. Few are able to manage on their own in moments like that, and expert help and assistance is very welcome. This is known as early care.

“These are activities that help families raising a child with a disability from birth to the age of seven, so that the families learn how to care for the child in the home environment. This is based on the conviction that the best experts at bringing up a child are the child’s parents – and that also applies to families where the children have special needs. We teach them how to communicate with the child, how to provide them with as much stimulus from their surroundings as possible so that they can develop as well as possible despite their health limitations. And above all, so they can be with their mummy and daddy, brothers and sisters and other family members every day,” says Jana Ježková, head of early care services at the EDA organisation.

4SkodaALL THE PLACES ŠKODA CALLS HOMEŠKODA is a truly global company. Even though the Czech Republic is still ŠKODA’s home, cars with the winged arrow in their badge roll off production lines in other countries as well, and even in other continents.

ŠKODA is a truly global company. Even though the Czech Republic is still ŠKODA’s home, cars with the winged arrow in their badge roll off production lines in other countries as well, and even in other continents.

A traditional Czech carmaker, ŠKODA currently offers customers ten passenger car models: CITIGOe iV, FABIA, RAPID, SCALA, OCTAVIA, SUPERB, KAMIQ, KAROQ, KODIAQ and ENYAQ iV. The company is active on more than 100 markets around the world, and ŠKODA cars are made practically all over the world as well.

The Czech Republic has always been and will always be the home of ŠKODA. ŠKODA has three plants in its home country: gearboxes for ŠKODA and other VW Group brands are manufactured in Vrchlabí, and cars and batteries are made in Mladá Boleslav and Kvasiny. Take a look at a day in the life of the Kvasiny plant.

3ŠkodaŠKODA ENYAQ iV AND OCTAVIA ON THE SAME LINEWhile other Volkswagen Group electric cars built on the MEB platform are made in dedicated factories, ŠKODA decided to go down the “parallel production” road with its first electric car on the MEB platform.

While other Volkswagen Group electric cars built on the MEB platform are made in dedicated factories, ŠKODA decided to go down the “parallel production” road with its first electric car on the MEB platform. The goal was to achieve maximum production flexibility and make the most efficient use possible of the production lines.

Flexible reactions

The Mladá Boleslav employees are used to flexibility on the OCTAVIA production line. Part of the KAROQ model output is also produced here, and the RAPID model also used to be made here. Unlike the OCTAVIA, the RAPID was based on its own platform, not the Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform. “Even so, the integration was a challenge for ŠKODA. Combining MEB and MQB car production in the optimal way required a lot of painstaking work, mainly by our planning units but also right across the company,” Bureš describes.

2ŠkodaICONS GET A MAKEOVER: A DIVINELY AIRY ŠKODA FELICIAWhat would the legendary cars from ŠKODA’s 125-year history look like if they were made by contemporary designers? ŠKODA Storyboard can show you. Enter the world of designers’ imagination and find out what inspires them.

In the mind of designer Martin Leprince, the ŠKODA FELICIA is a cabriolet for a fun, carefree life. The latest in the series of Icons Get a Makeover presents a modern vision of another famous ŠKODA.

It may be chilly outside, but a drive in the sunshine in a beautiful cabriolet is always enjoyable. Sure, sometimes you need to grit your teeth against inclement weather, but that’s the beauty of cabriolets. The connection between car, driver and their surroundings is perfect. And it was bringing these three elements as close together as possible that French designer Martin Leprince from ŠKODA Design wanted to achieve in his modern cabriolet version of the ŠKODA FELICIA.

A body without boundaries

When Martin sits behind the wheel of the magnificent turquoise specimen of the original FELICIA cabriolet in the ŠKODA Museum, he takes particular pleasure in the details, running his hands over various features in the historic car. “I like touching materials,” he admits. That makes him an ideal designer of interiors, which is exactly what his job at ŠKODA involves. His passion for interiors is obvious in his study. He chose the FELICIA cabriolet because of its interior.

The popular OCTAVIA SCOUT, a car built for adventure, has a firm place in the ŠKODA range. In just one minute it will convince you it's the ideal choice for an active lifestyle.

Powerful engines

True to tradition, the OCTAVIA SCOUT has first-class engines under its bonnet. This time round they are mainly two-litre diesel engines, including the tried-and-tested 2.0 TDI. The top-of-the-range version, with a DSG seven-speed automatic transmission, delivers a power output of 147 kW. Depending on the market, the SCOUT is also available with an 85 kW or 110 kW 2.0 TDI engine, and 1.5 TSI and 2.0 TSI engines delivering 110 and 147 kW. In select countries, the OCTAVIA SCOUT model can also be purchased with front-wheel drive for the first time. This is combined with the 1.5 TSI engine with either a six-speed manual transmission or a mild hybrid e-TEC model equipped with a DSG gearbox.
