Škoda MissionL concept

Škoda is to unveil the MissionL at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Although it’ll be presented as a concept, the compact five-door is in fact virtually production ready, and previews an all-new sixth model for the Czech manufacturer.

No dimensions have been revealed, but given the description it’s probably going to slot in between the existing Fabia and Octavia. To help fulfil Škoda’s aspiration to sell 1.5 million vehicles per year by 2018, the new addition will be marketed in Europe, China and Russia. India, meanwhile, is to get its own four-door version.



The styling of the MissionL develops the themes first seen on the Vision D concept at the Geneva Motor Show back in March, which means much sharper lines and a crisper, more prominent grille. It’s certainly an attractive look, but one of the Vision D’s defining features - a long wheelbase and short overhangs - hasn’t completely survived.
