In the Czech brand range, The new Elroq will be the successor of the Karoq (4.39 m), but now 100% electric.. If the Small promises to be the most important tram for countries like ours, the Compact will be the best weapon to compete in the main countries of the European market.

The Space will be the new top of the range brand, an SUV with a big and bulky look, which should not differ much from the Vision 7S model. The generous dimensions will allow Space to assemble three rows of seats and seven seats, in a style that is scheduled to go on sale in 2026 and with a new stylistic language that the builder calls Solid Modern.

The fourth and final electric vehicle that Skoda currently has in the works is known as the Combi, a name that in the Czech brand is associated with vans..
