We’ve taken a closer look at Skoda’s new MissionL concept on the Frankfurt Show floor, and what we once thought to be a conservative design turned out to be an actually production model without door handles. It’s got production brakes, wheels, exhaust and most of the dash is close to what you’ll get in your car if you buy it. There’s even a DSG gearbox in there.
The design is simple and elegant, and you wouldn’t necessarily tell it apart from the Octavia at the back. This budged car will arrive in India first by the end of this year, with Europe and probably China to follow early next year.
“This new compact model, along with other new products to follow, will enable us to accomplish our goal of increasing global annual sales to 1.5 million vehicles by 2018. We are going to present a new car approximately every six months over the next few years,” says Skoda Board Chairman, Winfried Vahland.
