Skoda ventures into the sub 4m SUV territory with a bold rendering, aimed to compete against established rivals like Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, and more.
Tata, Maruti, Hyundai, and Mahindra dominate the sub 4m SUV segment in India, but Skoda aims to disrupt with its new localized offering.
The rendering draws inspiration from Skoda's Vision 7S Concept, showcasing a muscular bonnet, sleek upper grille, LED headlights reminiscent of an Ice-age tiger's saber teeth.
Practical design choices like the absence of suicide doors and black body cladding enhance the SUV's premium look, while features like roof rails.
Skoda's emphasis on 90%+ localization aligns with India 2.5 strategy, offering cost and tax benefits. The SUV shares parts with existing Skoda and VW models.
With its futuristic design and strategic localization, Skoda's sub 4m SUV not only targets the Indian market but also holds potential for substantial exports.
Skoda's innovative approach to design and localization sets the stage for a promising entry into the competitive sub 4m SUV segment, promising to redefine standards.
