SKODA Vision X

2018 SKODA VISION X SHOWCAR | INTERIOR DESIGN CONCEPT

The VISION X, featuring an advanced hybrid drive combining electricity and CNG for a ride that is both environmental and sporty, along with innovative online services and a practical little surprise in the luggage compartment, is the 2018 ŠKODA Geneva stand’s headliner.

The concept is a foretaste of what ŠKODA’s future urban crossover will look like. The design incorporates elements typical for ŠKODA models, including crystalline features in tribute to the artistry of Czech.

The interior of VISION X offers an entirely new design approach. It is dominated by a wide, freestanding color display for operating advanced infotainment and connectivity services. Illuminated elements made of cut crystal complement the design, and appealing lighting effects in harmony with the display enhance the overall impression.

When it comes to the interior, the VISION X has written a whole new chapter for ŠKODA. It is best described by interior design coordinator Peter Olah: “For the VISION X’s interior, we have come up with completely new architecture that features a redesigned dashboard while retaining the democratic layout of the passenger compartment typical for ŠKODA. The symmetrical dashboard’s simple contours accentuate width and, in its centre, it gives prominence to the characteristic ŠKODA line emanating from the exterior, where the grille and bonnet intersect. This line is not only stylistic, but also ergonomic, as it supports the hand when you’re operating the large touchscreen.” Physical controls have been kept to a minimum. Instead, all functions are covered by the completely new 9.2” infotainment touchscreen. The driver receives additional information via the digital instrument panel.

Another stunning Simply Clever solution for the future takes the form of two electric skateboards stored in the luggage compartment, where they are constantly charged while the car is in use so that, for example, they are ready to transport you with ease over the last few hundred metres to your destination once you have parked in the centre. Alternatively, you may just fancy a bit of skate and a safe adrenaline rush – the kit includes helmets and a camera-fitted drone so you can video your journey.
