Skoda unveils a concept that could revive a silhouette often forgotten: the family estate.
Named Vision O, this 100% electric prototype foreshadows the next generation of Skoda family models and positions itself as the spiritual heir of the Octavia and Superb Combi. Forget SUVs, those faux off-roaders scared of the slightest puddle, it’s time for the dream format for families seeking space and elegance.
At the forefront, the Modern Solid design evolves towards more sobriety. The lines are sharp, the volumes reduced to the essentials, all with a focus on aerodynamics and energy efficiency. The front features a lighting signature called Tech Loop, which runs the entire width of the vehicle and incorporates sensors and radars. In profile, the Vision O is distinguished by its original glazing, a long hood, and wheels optimized to reduce drag. At the rear, the “T” light motif reinforces the visual identity.
Longer, more… good?
The interior follows the same minimalist logic. Gone is the traditional instrument cluster: in its place is a 1.20-meter-long Horizon Display that spans the entire dashboard. A large central vertical screen completes the setup, paired with a few physical controls for better ergonomics. Skoda also emphasizes the sustainable dimension of its concept, incorporating recycled fabrics, leather from waste, and plant-based materials. Even the ambient lighting, called bio-adaptive, adjusts to natural cycles.
In terms of usage, the estate retains its major asset: a 650-liter trunk, complemented by features such as a removable Bluetooth speaker or a mini refrigerator. The Vision O also includes an artificial intelligence named Laura, capable of assisting passengers, managing daily tasks, or even telling stories to children during long trips.

However, the concept does not provide any technical figures. Skoda focuses on the philosophy: an electric, spacious, sustainable, and intelligent estate. The production version, expected in the next decade on a new Volkswagen Group platform, could well restore the estate’s prestige in the electric era.
