The new student car will carry the name SLAVIA, a homage

to the first bicycles made by Laurin & Klement. ŠKODA

Vocational School students will thus join the celebrations of

ŠKODA’s history and revive one of its historical legends.

The SLAVIA is spider version on the basis of the SCALA.

Apprentices were inspired by the racing special 1100 OHC

(1957). The student car runs on a 1,5 TSI and 110 kW

petrol engine. Its white hi-tech paint with blue pearlescent

effect gives it an extraordinary gloss.

NO. OF THE WEEK

3 mil

We have reached yet another

milestone in China: today, the three

millionth ŠKODA rolled off the

assembly line in Ningbo since

production started in China in 2007.

Together with our joint venture

partner, we are currently producing

nine different models in various vehicle

segments at four Chinese plants. China

has been the strongest single market

for ŠKODA since 2010 and is the only

country where we offer five SUV

models.

The vehicle marking the record is an

SUV as well: ŠKODA KAROQ.

Group’s modular electrification toolkit (MEB). The presentation of the new top model is a part of the

celebrations of the company’s 125th anniversary. This historical premiere will be streamed live from
