Electric Kodiaq Replacement Previewed By The Skoda Vision 7S Concept

The Skoda Vision 7S concept provides a substantial hint as to the design of a new seven-seater that could arrive in dealerships by 2026. The Vision 7S also serves as a primary tool for displaying the new Skoda design language and corporate identity. 

It will utilize the same MEB electric platform as the Enyaq EV and other VW brand electric vehicles (the Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron).

Skoda claims the concept's 89 kWh battery provides enough juice to travel more than 373 miles. To compare, Enyaq owners have access to a maximum charging rate of 120 kW, while Skoda claims its 7S can charge at a more attractive 200 kW.

Skoda's trademark black and silver badge is replaced by silver lettering on the 7S. Intriguingly, the company's signature front grille form has been taken from current vehicles. This time, though, there is a dark glass screen instead of grille bars. Skoda's new front is called Tech Deck, and the company says it offers the Skoda Vision 7S concept a powerful appearance. The concept also has 22-inch wheels, suicide back doors, and no B-pillar.

The camera installed on the roof may transmit images of a rear-facing kid seat to the dashboard's infotainment display. In the concept, Skoda has also installed the baby seat on the center tunnel, claiming that this is the safest location for it.

The relax mode of the dual-configuration interior, however, is one of the more intriguing features. You can watch movies on the 14.6-inch portrait touchscreen by pressing a button on the console. The steering wheel and dash can move forward to generate extra space for front-seat passengers, while the front seats rotate and lean inwards.
