CALENDAR APP LAUNCHES FOR SCALA & KAMIQ
We are expanding our practical range of infotainment apps by adding a new Calendar App. Following the release of the
Weather App and the News App, drivers of the SCALA and KAMIQ with the Amundsen infotainment system can now also
access their personal appointments and meeting schedule on the central vehicle display. The new feature is available for the
third generation of the Modular Infotainment Matrix. It enables Google Calendar synchronisation with access to calendar
events, and supports conference calls. The Calendar App can be downloaded free of charge during the introductory period.
By mid-2021 the new app will also be available in Europe for the OCTAVIA, SUPERB, SUPERB iV, KAROQ and KODIAQ.

NEW INDIAN SUV
OCTAVIA
AMONG "COTY"
FINALISTS
The fourth generation of the
OCTAVIA has been short-listed

prestigious “Car of the Year”
award. From an initial field of 29
new cars, the OCTAVIA made it

presented to an international
expert jury, with
60 motoring journalists from
23 European countries.
The annual award was first
established in 1964. This year's
winner will be announced
on 1 March. In the last quarter of
2020, the OCTAVIA collected
renowned awards in the key
export markets of the United
Kingdom, Austria, Germany
and Switzerland.
Never
Enough
Thanks
THE FIRST PRODUCTION MODEL
FROM THE INDIA 2.0 PROJECT
SPEARHEADED BY ŠKODA AUTO
ON THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT
HAS BEEN NAMED ŠKODA KUSHAQ.
This mid-size SUV’s designation comes
from Sanskrit, an old Indian language.
The “kushak” denotes a king or an
emperor, complemeting the powerful
appearance of the new ŠKODA
KUSHAQ to perfection. The spelling
with the letter “K” at the beginning and
the letter “Q” at the end is in keeping
with the distinctive nomenclature for
the internationally successful KODIAQ,
KAROQ and KAMIQ SUV models. The
new ŠKODA KUSHAQ will have its
world premiere in March 2021.

1901
The year 2021 will be full
of anniversaries again. We
will be celebrating our
30-year affiliation with the
Volkswagen Group or,
among others, look back
on 120 years of success in
motorsports. In the picture
is Narcis Podsedníček, who
became our first works
driver in 1901. Driving a
motorcycle with the L&K
badge, he conquered the
challenging international
race Paris–Berlin spanning
over 1196 kilometers
km. We will also be
commemorating the first
modern generations of the
OCTAVIA (25 years) and
the SUPERB (20 years).
Both media are also
easily accessible and
readable on mobile
devices.

Some of the sports leagues have acquired a government exception from the Czech Ministry of Health. This allows them to
continue organizing games, e.g. of the top Czech professional divisions in football or hockey. All matches will take place without any
spectators in the crowd. However, selected duels may still be watched on TV or through online streams.
