After a host of customer and product actions across the year and beginning 2024 with the announcement of an all-new compact SUV, \u0160koda Auto India provided a\u00a0 second glimpse of this all-new car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>Speaking on the release of the design teaser, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, \u0160koda Auto India, said:<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cWe began 2024 with the announcement of our all-new compact SUV. Midway through 2024, we are well on track. Our compact SUV is undergoing rigorous testing on our roads across India and we are continuously enhancing the finer nuances together with our production preparations, high competencies and quality local supplier partner ramp-ups. The new Compact SUV will truly democratize our European technology on Indian roads. As it is based on a larger car platform, our compact SUV will have the \u2018big car\u2019 feel within a compact footprint and thus have a great appeal for new car buyers, in line with our brand commitment to India, as the most important market for \u0160koda Auto outside Europe. A majority of the \u0160koda cars produced outside Europe are manufactured in our local factories and we are exporting locally produced \u0160koda cars to 14 countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being based on the MQB-A0-IN platform that is developed for larger cars like the Kushaq and Slavia, \u0160koda\u2019s upcoming compact SUV promises the dynamics, handling and road-manners of a larger car while maintaining the 4-metre footprint. The design teased hints at elements from \u0160koda Auto\u2019s Modern Solid design language. The all-new compact SUV will be the company\u2019s first implementation of the Modern Solid design language in India. It is defined by clear, reduced lines that reflect the simplicity, solidity and quality of \u0160koda cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design approach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design team has endeavoured to provide this all-new SUV bold and muscular shapes around the fenders with the goal of providing an enhanced stance and road presence to the car. This \u0160koda will also have a high ground clearance and space around the wheel for tackling uneven road surfaces and lend the car that SUV character. The design will retain the typical \u0160koda SUV language in the front and add details like refined and precise DRL light signatures. The upcoming SUV will also feature a hexagon pattern on the side and rear of the car lending more value to the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The all-new compact SUV will compete in the sub 4-metre SUV segment in India. This is the brand\u2019s first-ever foray into this segment and the company targets entirely new markets to bring in new customers with this all-new vehicle. The SUV is based on the MQB-A0-IN platform like the Kushaq and Slavia. The MQB-A0-IN platform was developed by teams in India and the Czech Republic specifically for India. Both the Kushaq and Slavia earned a full 5-stars for adults and children under Global NCAP\u2019s safety tests and are being exported to 14 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement for this all-new car was made in February 2024 and is to make its world debut in India in 2025. Combined with this petrol-powered all-new compact SUV, the Kushaq SUV, the Slavia sedan, the Kodiaq luxury 4&#215;4, the Superb luxury sedan and further expansion in customer touchpoints, \u0160koda Auto India has its path towards further growth in India well entrenched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune \u2013 The \u0160koda Auto India juggernaut continues to roll on the brink of its 129th\u00a0year anniversary globally, and the 24th\u00a0in India.
