Skoda's "Mission"

Skoda will be unveiling an all new MissionL concept car for next week’s Frankfurt motor show.The car will be vital to the Czech firm’s ambitious growth plans when it enters production next year.

Un-named sources have suggested that the new model will be named  ‘Lauretta’ and will fill the large gap between the Fabia and Octavia in Skoda’s current range. It will be a five-door hatchback-come-saloon, similar in dimensions to the Ford Focus and is described by Skoda as being of a “compact liftback design”.


Many of MissionL’s key design features will be taken from the similarly-sized VisionD concept from the Geneva motor show earlier this year. It is said the the car is around 80 per cent production ready and is actually based on lengthened VW Polo mechanicals.
