"The Vision O isn't a fully functional prototype, but you can sit inside and drive it (slowly). It previews a future electric Skoda Octavia wagon expected to arrive around 2028. Skoda Octavia wagons are big business in Europe. Even though the Czech manufacturer sells a lot of crossovers, its long-roof, load-lugging Octavia Combi remains a strong seller across the continent. The news that the Octavia is going electric will broaden the nameplate's appeal, especially since Skoda intends to offer it with a wagon body."
"It uses the same platform that you find under a Volkswagen Golf, but it is more practical, roomier inside and it has considerably more cargo room. The current model boasts a 22.6 cu-ft (640-liter) trunk, which expands to 60 cu-ft (1,700 liters), making it unbeatable in its class when it comes to cargo room. It also drives well, offers numerous options and personalization, and feels just as premium as today's VW Golf, with similar attention to assembly and interior materials."
The Vision O concept offers a preview of a future electric Skoda Octavia wagon due around 2028 and can be experienced inside and driven slowly despite not being a full prototype. The Octavia Combi remains a major seller in Europe due to its practicality, spaciousness and exceptional cargo capacity, with a 22.6 cu-ft (640-liter) trunk expanding to 60 cu-ft (1,700 liters). Current Octavia models share underpinnings with the Volkswagen Golf while providing more room and premium feel, plus varied powertrains from plug-in hybrids to hot RS variants. The upcoming EV will use the newer SSP architecture rather than MEB, increasing width for a more spacious cabin, adding new tech while retaining many physical controls and improving stance.
