Skoda India releases two design sketches which gives a first impression of the exterior of the new Skoda Vision IN. The 4.26-metre-long (approximately) concept study is a forerunner of a mid-size SUV designed especially for the Indian market, the production of which will start in 2020-21. The VISION IN will make its first public appearance at Auto Expo 2020 in New Delhi (5 to 12 February).
The first design sketch shows the front of the SUV concept study. In addition to a wide bonnet, a large Skoda grille with solid ribs shapes the visual impression. The upper, very flat units of the split headlights progress directly to the grille. Beneath is a robustly designed front apron with large side air intakes and a massive front spoiler made of aluminium. The second sketch illustrates a clearly structured, distinctive rear with sharply contoured, three-dimensional rear lights; an additional horizontal light strip connects the reflectors. Illuminated Skoda lettering is positioned in the centre of the rear; an aluminium diffuser is integrated into the rear apron underneath.
As part of the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project, Skoda Auto is leading the activities of the Volkswagen Group brands on the Indian sub-continent. Several Skoda and Volkswagen models will be created based on the MQB A0 IN variant of the Modular Transverse Matrix, which the Czech car manufacturer is developing with a focus on India and Indian customers. The new localised MQB A0 IN platform is being showcased for the first time in the Skoda Vision IN.
