With a new character, new technology and a new name, the Škoda Scala completely redefines the compact car segment for the Czech brand. The hatchback combines an emotive design with a high level of functionality as well as connectivity, and transfers the design language of the Vision RS concept study into a production vehicle for the first time. The new Škoda Scala is the first production model to demonstrate the next development stage of the brand’s design language, which will also shape the car manufacturer’s future models. New sculptural shapes, dynamic design features as well as precision-designed details lend the Scala a distinct identity.
The new compact car is Škoda’s first production vehicle in Europe to bear brand lettering across its tailgate instead of the brand’s well-known logo. “The Scala is an important step in the further development of the Škoda design language. Not only is it a car that is practical and within reach for everybody – as you’ve come to expect from our cars – but it’s also visually extremely powerful, sporty and very emotive”, said Oliver Stefani, head of design of the brand.
With its proportions, clearly defined surfaces, flowing lines and advanced aerodynamics, the new car comes across as modern and sporty. The front is striking with an upright radiator grille, a large air inlet underneath and side Air Curtains. The Škoda -specific tornado line makes the vehicle look longer and is in perfect harmony with the car’s dynamic roofline. The aerodynamically optimised roof spoiler and the sporty diffuser underneath the bumper shape the wide rear.
