Škoda Unveils Vision O Electric Estate Concept at IAA Munich

The concept signals an interior-led, sustainability-focused estate direction with a series model planned on a new Volkswagen Group platform.

Overview

  • Revealed in Munich, the Vision O previews Škoda’s next design language with a minimalist look, a new Tech‑Loop front, continuous light elements and marked pillar styling.
  • Developed from the inside out, it introduces a 1.2‑meter Horizon display across the dash, a vertical center screen and retained tactile controls for key functions.
  • Škoda emphasizes circular materials including 100% recycled seat fabrics, leather‑waste flooring and recyclable 3D‑printed headrests, plus “Simply Clever” touches like a portable speaker and an integrated fridge.
  • At 4.85 meters in length, the large Kombi targets Octavia/Superb territory and offers roughly 650–690 liters of cargo capacity, expanding to about 1,700 liters with seats folded.
  • Škoda released no drivetrain or battery specs; a future series model is planned on a new Group platform linked to SSP, and reporters note show‑car elements such as rear‑hinged doors and transparent headrests are unlikely for production, with industry coverage suggesting a late‑2020s launch window as an expectation rather than a firm date.
