The all-electric Vision iV concept study offers a look ahead at \u0160koda\u2019s electric future. By introducing its first vehicle to be based on Volkswagen Group\u2019s MEB modular electric car platform, the Czech brand is taking the next step in its journey towards eMobility. The four\u2011door crossover coup\u00e9 impresses with sporty, emotive lines and exudes a feeling of spaciousness. The concept car features a horizontal light strip that \u2013 running across the reinterpreted, wide, covered \u0160koda grille that has delicate vertical slats and crystalline structures \u2013 spans the entire width of the vehicle and connects the Matrix LED headlights. The athletic side view of the Vision iV is shaped by bold wings and a coup\u00e9-like roofline.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The doors do not have any handles \u2013 just a touch will open them automatically. Classic wing mirrors have been replaced by cameras providing a 180-degree view which is relayed in the rear-view mirror. The multi-level arrangement of the instrument panel and centre console as well as a seemingly floating screen add a new dimension to the interior. \u201cThe striking face of the concept study with horizontal light strip gives it an ultramodern look and underpins its strong, self-assured appearance\u201d, said Oliver Stefani, head of design at \u0160koda.<\/p>\n<\/div>

From the outside, the long passenger compartment hints at the generous amount of space available inside. Furthermore, the boot has a total capacity of 550 l. Aerodynamic trailing edges and crystalline LED tail lights can be found at the bold rear. These redefine the brand\u2019s typical \u2018C\u2019 shape and, along with a strip of lights above the rear diffuser, accentuate the car\u2019s width. Another eye-catching detail on the slightly curved lip of the electric tailgate is the \u0160koda lettering \u2013 the individual letters illuminate in red. \u201cThe minimalist design, also highlighted by the use of cameras instead of wing mirrors or by the lack of door handles, symbolises how easy our electric cars are to use. What\u2019s more, illuminated design features and new light technology add exciting visual touches\u201d, explained Stefani.<\/p>\n<\/div>
