The all-electric Škoda Vision iV concept study offers a look ahead at Škoda's electric future. By introducing its first vehicle to be based on Volkswagen Group's MEB modular electric car platform, the Czech brand is taking the next step in its journey towards eMobility. The four-door crossover coupé impresses with sporty, emotive lines and exudes a feeling of spaciousness. A dynamic driving experience is ensured by all-wheel drive and two electric motors outputting 225 kW (306 PS).The Škoda Vision iV is 4,665 mm long, 1,926 mm wide and has a height of 1,613 mm. Dynamic lines lend it a sporty appearance. Even from the outside, the interior's spacious feel is evident from the new proportions created by a short bonnet and a long passenger cabin. The Vision iV offers a concrete preview of Škoda's first production car to be based on Volkswagen Group's MEB platform.The concept car features a horizontal light strip that - running across the reinterpreted, wide, covered Škoda grille that has delicate vertical slats and crystalline structures - spans the entire width of the vehicle and connects the Matrix LED headlights. The athletic side view of the Škoda Vision iV is shaped by bold wings and a coupé-like roofline. The doors do not have any handles - 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 Classic wing mirrors have been replaced by cameras providing a 180-degree view which is relayed in the rear-view mirror.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.
Aston Martin Lagonda have taken the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show by storm with three global debuts. The Lagonda All-Terrain Concept, the Vanquish Vision Concept, and AM-RB 003, were all revealed during the luxury brand’s live press conference, hosted by TV and Radio presenter Maya Jama and automotive lifestyle influencer Mr JWW. Built around near-future technologies such as its advanced Battery Electric drivetrain, the Lagonda All-Terrain Concept is an ultra-stylish, supremely luxurious, fully electric emission-free vehicle that can transport its occupants to remote and spectacular locations. It develops the designs and materials seen in last year’s widely acclaimed Lagonda Vision Concept, tailoring them for the new and challenging environments that an all-terrain vehicle is capable of reaching. Lagonda aims to be the world’s first zero emission luxury brand.
Škoda is offering a model from its RS family with plug-in-hybrid drive for the first time. The new Škoda Octavia RS iV has been fitted with a 1.4 TSI petrol engine and an 85-kW electric motor delivering a combined power output of 180 kW (245 PS). Featuring black details on the bodywork, the Octavia RS iV can immediately be recognised as sporty top-of-the-range variant of Škoda's bestseller, now in its fourth generation. The Czech car manufacturer will offer the new Octavia in three other electrified versions as well. The Octavia iV is a plug-in hybrid delivering 150 kW (204 PS) and is available in the Ambition and Style trims. Two e-TEC variants producing 81 kW (110 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS) make use of mild hybrid technology for the first time at Škoda.Škoda has fitted the Octavia RS iV with a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine (110 kW / 150 PS) and an 85-kW electric motor. Together, they have a combined power output of 180 kW (245 PS) and offer a maximum torque of 400 Nm, which is transferred to the front wheels via a 6-speed DSG. The car's CO² emissions are approximately 30 g/km in the WLTP cycle, meaning it already complies with the new, stricter EU6d emissions standard for all newly registered vehicles in the EU, which will come into force from 1 January 2021.The high-voltage lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 37 Ah equating to 13 kWh, thereby giving the car an all-electric range of up to 60 km in the WLTP cycle. As the 330 Nm of torque provided by the electric motor are available straight away, the RS iV can pull away quickly. In Sport mode, which allows drivers to make use of the car's full power output, the Octavia RS iV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds. Its top speed is 225 km/h. The progressive steering that comes as standard and dynamic tuning of the sports suspension that is typical for the RS range cater to energetic driving styles.
The Skoda Superb just got a face-lift at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apart from new LED Matrix headlights and wheels, the Superb also gets a plug-in hybrid variant. The new Skoda Superb iV, as it is called, combines a 1.4 turbo-petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of 218 hp. The Superb iV can also travel up to 55 kilometres in pure EV mode, thanks to a 13-kWh battery pack.
