Skoda Recharges Its Future with Its Past
- Published on 24/10/2025 17:08
With its 1000 MBX concept, Skoda revives a forgotten coupe by giving it an electric crossover look.
Between nostalgia, daring, and practicality, the Czech brand Skoda enjoys shaking up conventions. Born in 1966, the Skoda 1000 MBX was one of those charming small cars—lightweight, stylish, but a bit quirky. Today, Mladá Boleslav’s designers breathe new life into it with a completely reimagined version, more resembling a futuristic concept than a simple reissue. The body is tall, muscular, yet retains the subtle smile of vintage models.
Inside, elegance and sobriety prevail: an oval glass dashboard, information projections instead of screens, and a soft ambient lighting that highlights the shapes without ostentation. The cabin features a smart 2+2 layout, with foldable rear seats and a flat floor reminiscent of a lounge. All of this is based on a 100% electric platform, ready for mobility’s future.
Skoda explores new horizons
Where others stick to retro chic, Skoda opts for functionality: adjustable air suspension, reverse-opening doors for easy access, and a cargo space worthy of a station wagon when the rear seats are folded down. In short, a concept full of spirit and a spacious trunk.
In terms of style, some nods to the original MBX remain: prominent headlights, elegant side crease, and a robust C-pillar. But no dusty nostalgia here—this past inspires a modern, light, and joyful vision of automobiles.
