Safe and Generous ŠKODA VISION 7S
The seven-seater study illustrates ŠKODA’s new design language
he VISION 7S, whose 89-kWh battery enables a range of more than 600 km in WLTP mode, is the first model to reflect ŠKODA’s new design language.
The minimalist functional design of the VISION 7S evokes safety and radiates power. The future vehicles in the ŠKOA portfolio will also be highly aerodynamic.

The front of the car and the fifth door are decorated with the ŠKODA inscription. In the middle of the front and rear bumpers is a control element painted in bright orange. The narrow, T-shaped headlights with a four-eyed face extend deep into the sides. The T-shaped LED tail lights also have a T-shaped top line that extends all the way to the fenders.
It is presented with its Tech-Deck Face mask on the front, a robust underbody and aerodynamic roof lines that guarantee low fuel consumption. At first glance, the extended passenger compartment hints at the generous space offered by its interior. The front of the car has familiar design elements with the typical lines of the Czech carmaker’s cars. The newly designed ŠKODA lettering replaces the existing brand logo. It is complemented by a new ambient light bar that runs along the top edge of the front across the width of the entire car, creating a lighting effect. Its Tech-Deck Face mask mimics the familiar ŠKODA radiator grille in a modern way but is significantly flatter and wider. The ribs are replaced by dark glass that covers the car’s sensors.
Interior for every situation
In Drive mode, all the controls are in a basic position close to the driver, and the central 14.6” touchscreen is rotated vertically to keep it within easy reach, and working with information is straightforward. The Relax mode is activated when charging or stopping for a rest by pressing a button in the centre console. The steering wheel and dashboard move forward away from the driver and passenger to create a generous amount of space. The driver and front passenger seats swivel inwards and fold back, providing more comfort and an unobstructed view of the central screen for rear seat passengers. The seats in the second row also fold back to allow passengers a more comfortable view of the screen, which also swivels to a horizontal position. The child seat, integrated into the centre console, is positioned to face towards the back in the safest place in the car.
The minimalist interior is spacious and evokes a feeling of safety that is enhanced by the combination of light and dark materials. They do not contain leather, and most of them are sustainably sourced and very durable thanks to clever combinations. One example is the floor of the VISION 7S, which is made from recycled pieces of old tyres. The decorative elements in the interior, painted with a fine matt metallic coating, are also sustainable.
