Škoda Auto is introducing the Škoda Vision Gran Turismo, a spectacular all‑electric concept car, into the Gran Turismo 7 PlayStation game, thus expanding the carmaker’s presence in the digital racing world. Drawing inspiration from the 1957 Škoda 1100 OHC Spider, the fully electric all-wheel drive Škoda Vision Gran Turismo is equipped with four electric motors, delivering a powerful total output of 800 kW*.

“The roots of Škoda Motorsport go back more than 120 years, with countless successes. The next step? Joining the world of e-racing by launching a stunning new virtual concept car into the world’s most successful racing game, Gran Turismo. The Škoda Vision Gran Turismo study bridges our rich heritage to our electric future and new Modern Solid design language. Our customers are explorers, and the sleek Škoda Vision Gran Turismo car is a great way to enrich their experiences while also attracting new fans to our brand.”

Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto

“When the Škoda Auto design team embarked on this very special project, we decided to create a futuristic version of the Škoda 1100 OHC Spider for the digital age, an innovative fusion of past and future that also includes elements from our new Modern Solid design language. The result is a fascinating blend of traditional motorsport and a virtual electric racing future.”

Škoda Auto has launched series production of the refreshed Octavia at its main plant in Mladá Boleslav. The upgraded fourth generation of the brand’s bestseller features a redesigned Škoda grille, new second-generation LED matrix beam headlights and the integration of ChatGPT into the Laura voice assistant, among other enhancements. With Octavia production being transferred to the Kvasiny plant later this year, the Czech carmaker will create additional capacities in Mladá Boleslav.

“With just about 7.5 million units produced since the first modern generation debuted in 1996, the Octavia remains the heart of our brand. This latest update sets new standards in design, technology, and sustainability. The model is now even safer, with the higher proportion of sustainable materials in the seats, dashboard, and door trims, alongside the integration of cutting-edge connectivity features.”

Andreas Dick, Škoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics

Expanding Octavia production: a strategic move
Production of the Octavia has begun in Mladá Boleslav, with options for four petrol and two diesel engines, delivering up to 195 kW (265 hp), along with mild-hybrid versions. In the second half of the year, Škoda Auto intends to shift Octavia production to the Kvasiny plant. This strategic move will increase capacity for Octavia production in Kvasiny while freeing up space at the Mladá Boleslav plant to focus on the production of the Enyaq, Enyaq Coupé, and Elroq models.

The Octavia’s legacy: a multi-award-winning market leader
Since its 1996 premiere, the modern Octavia has embodied Škoda Auto’s new image, setting new standards and shaping the company’s direction. It quickly became a top seller and now leads the sales rankings in seven European nations, including the Czech Republic, Austria, and Slovakia. Moreover, the Octavia Combi is the most popular estate car in the Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, and 11 other countries.

Last month, the Škoda Octavia was named the best import car in its category at the prestigious Best Cars Readers’ Choice Awards by the German magazine ‘auto motor and sport’, marking its 11th consecutive win in the compact class import category.

Upgraded Octavia: refined aesthetics and cutting-edge technology
The latest iteration of the Octavia boasts a refined exterior, offering a sleeker and more dynamic look. With the addition of second-generation LED matrix beam headlights as an optional feature, it combines functionality with style. Inside, customers have the choice of four trim levels and nine Design Selection trims, all incorporating eco‑friendly components, such as recycled fabrics and sustainably treated leather. True to Škoda’s Simply Clever philosophy, even the practical features – like the ice scraper in the fuel filler cap and the optional umbrellas in the front doors – are made from sustainable materials.

On the technology front, the Octavia’s infotainment system now features a standard 10-inch display. Improving the driving experience, the integration of the AI chatbot ChatGPT into the Laura voice assistant system is now standard, offering new capabilities that significantly expand upon traditional voice command functions. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with an array of advanced assist systems, including Collision Avoidance Assist, Turn Assist, and Exit Warning, further enhancing safety and convenience for all occupants.

The Octavia’s Sportline and RS variants: dynamic design and powerful performance
Škoda will continue to offer the Octavia in both Sportline and RS versions. Known for its dynamic design, the Octavia Sportline offers four engine options: two diesel and two petrol powertrains. Since the year 2000, the sportiest Octavia versions have featured the legendary ‘RS’ designation. The RS version, equipped with a 2.0 TSI engine delivering 195 kW (265 hp), features distinctive glossy black details and a red reflector strip on the rear, highlighting its sporty appearance.

The refreshed MyŠkoda app now serves as a unified platform for owners of all current compatible Škoda models. It offers seamless vehicle access and introduces a wide range of new and further improved features, including smart services like Pay to Park and Pay to Fuel as well as Track & Explore and a loyalty program for users, initially rolled out in selected markets. Moreover, the integration of Powerpass into the app streamlines the charging process for electric Škoda vehicles, consolidating these services into one convenient, intuitively designed app.

“At Škoda Auto, we put our customers first and strive to make their journey as seamless as possible. Listening to our customers’ feedback is therefore essential to enhance their user experience inside and outside the car through innovative new features. We are thus enhancing the functionality of the MyŠkoda app, migrating all features to one platform. With the integration of Powerpass, EV and Plug-in hybrid customers have direct access with our new app to more than 660,000 charging points across Europe. And with smart services like Pay to Park and Pay to Fuel, we are further facilitating everyday life of many more customers.”

New features, easier to use and compatible with all current models
With the updated MyŠkoda app, customers benefit from several new features bundled in one application as well as from a more intuitive design. Customers of all-electric, plug-in hybrid and conventional power train models receive access to new features that make their everyday life easier, for example through smart services like Pay to Park and Pay to Fuel. Introducing a completely new look, the updated app features a brand-new home screen, revised graphics and an informative widget, which makes the app even easier to use.

All current and upcoming models support the newest update, including those with combustion engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains manufactured after July 2020. Users who previously used the MyŠkoda Essentials app can now make transition to the new MyŠkoda app, keeping their existing Škoda account. Meanwhile, owners of Škoda models produced until July 2020 will continue to use the MyŠkoda Essentials app for the time being.

A wide range of new features
The updated MyŠkoda app integrates numerous digital services from Škoda Connect and now covers additional parts along the customer journey. Users anticipating delivery of their Škoda car will appreciate the new Track & Explore function, which offers real-time information on the vehicle’s production status. Additionally, they can review their vehicle’s configuration at any time. For those eager to explore their new vehicle’s functionalities, the app provides access to how-to videos in the UK, Ireland, France and Spain.

The improved MyŠkoda app now also includes new smart services for customers, who already received their car. With Pay to Park, the app simplifies the process of recognising of parking zones and paying for parking in various cities across Europe. Pay to Fuel is another new smart feature that enables automatic payments at selected fuelling stations, skipping the queue at the cashier.

Integration of Powerpass: More than 660,000 charging points in one app
For drivers of the Enyaq and PHEV models, the refreshed MyŠkoda app provides additional new features. Most important, Powerpass charging is now integrated directly in the MyŠkoda app – making the old app obsolete. The new feature is granting access to more than 660,000 charging points across Europe thanks to partnerships with more than 870 providers. It also simplifies the management of home charging solutions, such as the Škoda iV Chargers. On top of that, the app offers the possibility to manage charging plans, use the Plug & Charge function, and view the charging history. Current Powerpass users can download or update the MyŠkoda app, navigate to the Powerpass section and confirm their Škoda ID connection for a fully automatic data transfer. Checking the Škoda Enyaq’s charging status from home or activating the Climate Control before setting off are just two further examples of the extended functionality of the MyŠkoda app.

A more intuitive design and additional entertainment options
The app’s new design further improves the user experience providing a design comparable to a simplified home screen. Additionally, essential information – like the charging or vehicle status – can now be displayed through widgets on the home screen, enhancing accessibility. The new MyŠkoda app also adds convenience for guest users, allowing, for example, the remote control of charging and air conditioning for their partner’s Enyaq.

In addition, the new MyŠkoda app offers a dynamic news feed featuring visuals and articles from the world of Škoda. Moreover, a loyalty programme has been introduced in the UK, Ireland, France, and Spain, allowing users to earn points by completing various challenges. These points can be redeemed for Škoda merchandise.
