Skoda Vision O points to next-gen Octavia

SKODA has teased its Vision O concept car ahead of its official debut in Munich next month.

The ‘design study’ is said to give Skoda customers a look at the brand’s wagon segment future, while at the same time marking an evolution of the Czech brand’s Modern Solid design language.

Skoda says the Vision O presents a sleek and distinctive silhouette which is predominantly shaped by light contours and with a steeply raked windscreen and gently sloping roofline typical of its wagon models.

While Vision O may at first seem like a nod to the Octavia nameplate, Skoda says it is derived from the concept of circularity, highlighting its approach to recycling and the reuse of components and minimising the environmental impact of vehicle development and production.

As is to be expected from a wagon, the Vision O is said to provide a combination of functionality and amenity that adds to the user experience, the latest concept continuing a wagon legacy for Skoda that dates back to the L&K 110 of 1960.

Modern versions of the Skoda Octavia wagon, meanwhile, have surpassed more than three-million units produced in the four generations since 1998, making it the best-selling wagon in Skoda’s history.

“The Skoda Vision O design study will highlight the future trajectory of estate models under the influence of new technologies, sustainability, and the deep experience of Skoda Auto in this segment,” explained Skoda Auto CEO Klaus Zellmer.

“This will be one of our most significant steps in developing and evolving our design language even further for this period of transition in the automotive industry. It will position us to remain a major player in the estate segment, where Skoda Auto has been engaged since the 1920s.

“We are excited to present this concept to the world in early September 2025, marking a new era for Skoda Auto. Stay tuned for further information which will be released in advance of the Skoda Vision O world premiere.”

The Skoda Vision O design concept will be presented in Munich at the beginning of September 2025.
