The new ŠKODA model’s long journey across Europe culminated Thursday evening at the modern Artipelag exhibition hall in Stockholm, Sweden.

The newest model from the Czech Republic automotive company has completed a long journey. Not only the literal one across Europe in recent days, from the Czech Republic, the country of its

origin, to the location of its world premiere, Stockholm, Sweden, but also the journey of its past four years from the minds of ŠKODA’s engineers, technicians, and designers to the place of its first official unveiling.

ŠKODA’s key personalities responsible for creation of the new model were of course in attendance at the gala evening. The vehicle was presented by ŠKODA’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr Bernhard Maier. Among his comments, he pointed that the new compact SUV has in recent months driven more than 2 million kilometres in testing before being presented now to the public. Mr Werner Eichhorn, another Member of the Board of Directors of ŠKODA, recalled that ŠKODA had doubled the volume of its vehicle production over the past ten years. This underscores the incredible tempo which ŠKODA’s has displayed in recent years. KAROQ’s big brother, KODIAQ, for example, marked up 37,000 orders within just the first two months from its debut. All the features of the new model were presented by the head of technical development, Christian Strube, who during his presentation proposed to introduce a new unit of measurement: “One

A new unit of measurement: 1 KAROQ = 100% of what a ŠKODA customer wants and needs in his or her life

KAROQ, which is 100% of what a ŠKODA customer wants and needs in his or her life.” You can see for yourself that he was absolutely correct in the summary of all the innovations it brings to the market.
