The year 2017 belonged, above all, to the new ŠKODA KAROQ, a stylish and practical partner in the streets and off the road which is developing ŠKODA’s SUV offensive. For its gala premiere it drove on its own wheels the 1,650 kilometre-long journey across Europe from Mladá Boleslav to Stockholm, where it revealed all its secrets. Let’s recollect KAROQ’s world premiere.

Soon thereafter, KAROQ underwent a demanding stress test and was sent to the toughest cycling race – the Tour de France 2017 to provide the cyclists with important support during the initial time test. Just before this world debut, KAROQ took a practical test. What do you think? How many cycling bottles can fit in the car? You’ll find the answer and a visual demonstration in the following video:

The next trip was into the future with the completely electric concept VISION E. This is no mere mirage, not some trumped-up vision with no basis in reality, but a real prototype of ŠKODA vehicles that will be out on the streets in just a couple years. What a ride that will be! Take a journey from the first idea of the concept to the inspiration of crystal design and the art of Czech glassmakers:

There was also a story from the past with pure driving experience, with a teaser from the first-hand classic rally experience, which is not about speed, but about hundredths and mainly the joy from driving these historic jewels.

The ŠKODA KODIAQ SUV went off-road to prove that even a shiny family car can handle the toughest challenges it may encounter off the beaten track. Remember the 7 commandments for off-road driving and a couple useful pieces of advice that can help you explore the off-road world.

And topping it all off, we have presented the functions of state-of-the-art ŠKODA assistance systems and visually demonstrated how they make driving simpler.

All advantages of ŠKODA Connect solutions for state-of-the-art connectivity were also presented in detail (take a look here to see if you remember them all). Add to this some practical tips for saving fuel, where even experienced eco-drivers can find new tricks. And finally, you can obtain guidance on how to stretch your body on long trips and relax your spirit with yoga behind the wheel.

AND OF COURSE, THE RIDE WILL
CONTINUE IN 2018…
