Mladá Boleslav, September 8, 2025 – The interior of the Škoda Vision O strongly reflects the new generation of the Modern Solid design language. The vehicle was developed from the inside out – entirely from the customer’s perspective - to ensure that every aspect of the interior meets the highest standards of comfort, usability, and technological integration before shaping the exterior. Thus, the driver's and passengers' experience are prioritized, resulting in a harmonious, intuitive, and functional design that seamlessly integrates with the exterior aesthetics. The completely new architecture of the Vision O interior features a new HMI layout including the new customizable Škoda Horizon Display for both front passengers. It runs across the entire width of the dashboard and is complemented by a vertically oriented central screen. The symmetrical, minimalist design features a centre panel equipped with an intuitively usable dial button that provides haptic feedback for better control. The new Škoda Bio-Adaptive Lighting enhances the serene and sophisticated atmosphere within the cabin.

"We designed the Vision O from the inside out - we built our car on customer experiences. The main experience for us is the simplicity. Today we live in a world of noise and complexity and Vision O brings us back clarity and calmness in design and functionality. It is the next level of our Modern Solid design philosophy."

Oliver Stefani, Head of Design

The monochromatic aesthetics emphasize the cockpit layout and act as a framework for interacting with the car, ensuring clarity and ease of use. Key interior highlights include a Škoda Horizon Display, offering optimal visibility and intuitively steerable interaction. The new Škoda Bio-Adaptive Lighting adjusts the cabin's shades according to natural light cycles, supporting human biorhythms and creating a powerful, human-centred experience. Combined with the interior's inviting achromatic colour scheme, it creates a relaxing environment that seamlessly frames the user's interaction with the HMI system. The nearly achromatic colour concept features darker taupe front seats for natural asymmetry, aligning with the Bio-adaptive illumination and digital screen colours for a serene yet bold statement of simplicity.

The horizontal display, which is more than 1.2m long spans the entire dashboard, placing essential information directly in the driver's field of vision and enhancing data perception. This layout creates a sense of spaciousness and an open atmosphere within the cabin. Information is logically collated for easy access, improving usability and minimizing distractions. The contextual home screen allows users to seamlessly switch between different levels of information, improving interaction with the vehicle. The infodimming feature allows users to dynamically adjust the amount of information displayed, ensuring safer and more focused driving tailored to individual preferences. Drivers can control the display using touch controls integrated into the dashboard or a central dial button for quick adjustments.

An intuitive control concept is designed for ease of use and safe driving. Steering wheel controls provide quick access to essential functions such as adjusting the volume, changing radio stations, answering phone calls, and activating cruise control. Touch interfaces on the dashboard offer a responsive method for navigating menus and settings. Voice control capabilities further enhance safety by allowing drivers to operate features using voice commands, minimizing distractions. This balanced combination of haptics, touch, and voice controls ensures a seamless and secure interaction with the vehicle.

As typical for Škoda in terms of space, the Vision O provides more than 650 litres of luggage capacity (over 1,700 litres with folded seats). Following Škoda’s Simply Clever philosophy, Vision O also provides that little bit extra with new features such as a portable Bluetooth speaker and a fully integrated fridge. The concept car also offers four umbrellas for passengers, a screen cleaner, and dedicated storage for charging cables in the trunk. Practical magnetic wireless charging pods in the centre console ensure convenient and efficient phone charging for all passengers.

With circularity in materials at the forefront, the evolved Modern Solid design meets future requirements and regulations. Seat covers are made from 100% recycled PES flatknit material, custom knitted for the seat shape with functional decorative elements. The bespoke headrest uses Ultrasint TPU, a flexible, durable, and recyclable mono-material produced in zero-waste production. Ultrasuede NU, used for larger interior parts and seats, has a transparent effect coating for a virtual shimmer, with 65% plant-based content. Nabore recycled leather flooring, made from post-production leather scrap, is another circular material inside the new concept car.
