Overview

  • The concept replaces the Favorit’s original petrol engine with an electric powertrain while preserving its simple, boxy silhouette.
  • Designer Ljudmil Slavov led development, dedicating roughly 120 hours to refining original details into Skoda’s new ‘Modern Solid’ style.
  • Front and rear LED running lights sit behind semi-transparent covers matching the size of the classic headlamps to honor the 1987 design.
  • Inside and out, period touches—including brown leather upholstery, rear-hinged doors and a clean, unadorned bodyshell—reference the original model.
  • Skoda has no plans to put the Favorit concept into production, but the company said further electric reinterpretations of its classic lineup are on the horizon.
