Skoda Unveils Vision O Electric Estate in Munich as Preview of Future Octavia

It signals Skoda’s plan to carry its estate heritage into the EV era on Volkswagen Group’s next platform.

Overview

  • Skoda revealed the Vision O concept at IAA Mobility in Munich, introducing a purpose-built electric estate under the brand’s next-phase Modern Solid design.
  • The interior centers on a 1.2‑metre Horizon display with a new HMI, the Laura AI assistant and a Tranquil Mode intended for periods when the car can handle certain driving tasks.
  • Sustainability is foregrounded through circular-economy materials including recycled plastics, plant-based Ultrasuede, upcycled leather waste and 3D‑printed recyclable parts.
  • Practicality remains central with more than 650 litres of luggage capacity and “Simply Clever” touches such as an integrated fridge, wireless charging pods and a portable speaker.
  • Coverage positions the study as a clear preview of an electric Octavia wagon expected around 2028 on VW Group’s SSP platform, while Skoda has not disclosed powertrain, range or charging details.
