Additional air outlets are positioned between the wheel arches and above the side skirts and act as running boards for the portal doors that swing up in opposite directions and also have cover grilles. These grilles channel the warm air generated from cooling the high-voltage battery to the outside. The flat roofline gently slopes to the rear and merges with a pronounced roof spoiler for high aerodynamic efficiency.
The matt metallic paint finish in “Explorer Green” underscores the minimalistic look of the Vision 7S. The concept is also the first time Škoda has debuted a new vehicle in a matt body colour.
Škoda says the concept vehicle’s minimalistic interior conveys a sense of space and security, further enhanced by the combination of dark and light materials. These are leather-free, mostly come from sustainable sources and are extremely durable thanks to smart material combinations.
One example is the floor of the Vision 7S, which is made from recycled tyres. The interior trim is also sustainable and coated with a fine, matt metallic layer to conserve valuable resources. The fabrics are made of 100% recycled polyester yarns.
In addition, the vehicle’s menu structure and infotainment functions have been streamlined, and the controls on the central, free-standing touchscreen, as well as haptic keys for important or frequently used functions, are particularly intuitive.
The minimalist, functional design of the Vision 7S concept conveys a sense of security and strength, as well as showcasing the enhanced aerodynamics of the vehicles Škoda will be adding to its portfolio in the years ahead.
