New Architectural Icon

A professional team of designers, engineers, and experts in other fields of specialty work in the Design Center on development of new automobiles for ŠKODA. Using drawings and models, the Exterior Division designs the external appearance, while specialists in the Interior Division elaborate on the details in the interior. In order to be able to evaluate designs realistically, a Model Shop makes life-size models from modeling clay at a 1:1 scale, which are indistinguishable from actual automobiles.


The Color & Trim Shop designs upholstery fabrics for the seats, colors of the lacquer, and all other materials to give the interior a comfortable and pleasant appearance. Workers in the CAD Design Division generate computer-based models of components (e.g., wheels), create data for subsequent machining of ŠKODA Auto components, and ensure exchange of information with the relevant design units.

Introducing the new ŠKODA Rapid

The ŠKODA Rapid is a spacious, elegant and at the same time affordable compact hatch for the whole family and their baggage. As you would expect from a ŠKODA, it has all sorts of handy features and includes comprehensive safety equipment, making it excellent value for money. Perfect proportions, clear and cleanly modelled surfaces and sharply drawn lines combine to create a great looking car.

 

The ŠKODA Rapid has all the space required for you to feel comfortable while it maintains the practical dimensions of a compact car (4.48 metres in length, 1.7 metres in width). In addition, a spacious rear tailgate makes it even more functional. Rapid's rear taillights remain in ŠKODA’s typical C Shape but you will notice
the new brand design of the front of the car. A headlight ensemble in a cloverleaf shape and a chrome grille
bring a new character to the car, and we’ve updated the logo to complete the new look.

 

The Rapid will come with a range of petrol and diesel engines, so you can choose which one’s right for you.

 

This is just a taste of more exciting information to come. Sign up now to be the first to receive sneak
previews and breaking news about the new ŠKODA Rapid.
