Skoda’s range has recently been expanded with a larger SUV, called Kodiaq. A mid-sized four-door coupe might follow the latest entry in the portfolio.

The Czech brand has no plans of launching a traditional coupe, because the market for this kind of body style is limited, but a four-door coupe would fit the bill for the automaker owned by the Volkswagen Group.

The latest speculation regarding Skoda’s future models announces a four-door coupe that could be based on the platform of the Superb.

Volkswagen, the main brand of the German corporation that owns Skoda, has successfully offered a four-door coupe in its range using the same platform as its mid-size model, the Passat. Skoda could follow a similar route with the Superb. Volkswagen’s model was called CC, and the designation came from Comfort Coupe.

The idea was to employ a different design on the Passat platform, which would be complemented by an improved interior. The first generation of the Passat CC, which was the name of the first generation of the CC, used to be offered in a four-seat configuration. Eventually, a three-seat rear bench was provided instead of the two-seat unit that used to be the only possibility.

Skoda has always been the practical cousin of Volkswagen, with its models offering more room than their equivalents from the VW range, and the new roomier coupe might stick to the same trend. Evidently, that would mean it will be more spacious than the Volkswagen CC, but do not expect a seven seater here.

If this idea gets the green light from the board of Skoda, expect it on the market within three years from the time of approval. However, the recent troubles of the Volkswagen Group have led to many exciting projects getting the ax, so the potential of a four-door coupe in the Skoda portfolio might have to wait until the storm caused by Dieselgate wears off.
