Is This the Electric Škoda Octavia? | Vision O First "Drive"
Join Tom for an exclusive first walkaround – and a very slow, very careful drive – of the Škoda Vision O, the striking concept car previewing the next chapter of Škoda design. With its sharp lines, bold proportions and beautifully minimalist interior, the Vision O could well point the way to the next-generation Octavia Electric and the wider family of future Škoda EVs.
Tom gets up close with the styling details, explores the tech-packed cabin and talks through what this concept tells us about Škoda’s electric priorities: space, simplicity, usability and a fresh new design identity. But how much of this show-stopping concept will make it to production? And is this our first glimpse at the electric Octavia we’ve all been waiting for?
Join us as we find out — slowly but stylishly.
