Skoda Felicia E will be the first mass electric vehicle company

Skoda Felicia E


The scales were shaken. For quite a long time, the other car company Volkswagen had leading indicators in terms of the number of models sold in Europe, and its advanced model Golf almost 10 years was considered the best-selling car in the markets of the "Old World". But competitors did not agree with such a distribution of roles, especially Renault and Nissan, which formed a financial alliance and for the first time in a long time were forced into the market leaders. There was it for the reasons of competent advancement of production in a world scene, in particular active development of transport using an electric power installation. A major role in high sales figures was played by the flagship electric car Nissan Leaf, which became the most successful electric car in the world. In order not to remain aloof, the Germans from Volkswagen decided to regain their lost positions by placing a stake on the development of mass and accessible electric vehicles.


In addition to producing the model under its own name (long-term construction Volkswagen I.D. is to be shown in Frankfurt, and it is possible to name the date of sales), the managers of the concern will dispose of at least one similar model and the other brands that are under its management. Under the above statement fall brands Audi, SEAT, Porsche and Skoda. As for the latter, it has already been announced that the preparatory process of production has been launched. For the sake of historical launch, the company's bosses decided to revive the once-historical "Felicia" index, so it is possible that the novelty will be called Skoda Felicia E.

Compact hatchback Skoda Felicia during its short production (more than 7 years), managed to get more than 3 modifications and survive a full restyling. Unfortunately disappointing sales shook the position of the Czechs in the market, and the production of the hatchback was turned off.

It is assumed that the car will take the form of a hatchback. Similar information was shared with the rest of the auto edition of AutoExpress. According to him, most of the developments in the battery packs used, as well as in the power plant will be taken from the Volkswagen I.D. prototype. Moreover, the car will have limited overall dimensions of the body, similar in value to the model of Czech origin Rapid Spaceback (approximate length of the car should be 4,500 millimeters).

As for the price tag of the future car, it is likely that the eminent German concern and the leadership from the Czech Republic will be guided by the so far the best player in the market of mass-produced mass cars - the aforementioned Nissan Leaf. Earlier it was claimed that the concept electric car Volkswagen I.D. will be sold at an estimated price of 30 thousand euros. The Czech model of Skoda Felicia E will by analogy leave the market a bit cheaper (at an approximate price for an electromobile Volkswagen e-up!).

Conceptual show car Volkswagen I.D. For more than 3 years, it has been actively demonstrated to the public as "the future advanced model on the market." At this time, the main competitor of the electric car in the person of Leaf already preparing for the demonstration of a new generation.

If the new electric vehicle still comes out under the name "Felicia", then this will be the third launch. For the first time this index was worn sports model "Skoda", which was produced in the period from 1959 to 1964). The second appearance of "Felicia" was already in the 90's: under the sign for the brand of Neumings, a compact car was produced, in the period from 1994 to 2001. Skoda Felicia E is not the final name of the model, but quite probable.

So far there are no official conceptual images of the design of the future car, just like the preliminary published rendering from the company. Publications Auto Express based on the published information, suggested what the future automotive will look like. Illustrators of the agency portrayed the concept of Skoda Felicia E, which is very similar to the concept show car Skoda Vision E. shown last year.

Concept car Skoda Vision E at one time shook the automobile community (the premiere happened in the framework of the Shanghai international auto show that was held in 2017). The emphasis within the company on this model is almost basic.

Recall that the electric car Skoda Vision E is a full-fledged construction of the Czech brand. Kuppeobrazny cross is now preparing for development, and has already announced the start date of sales (the first quarter of 2020). "Vision E" is not the final name of the flagship car. Moreover, behind the car several trademarks are registered at once (Czechs are chosen from variants "AMiq", "Eliaq" and "Anuq").

Presumably, the power plant of the electric parket will be represented by several electric motors, the total power of which is more than 300-forces (Skoda Felicia E will most likely use one electric motor located on the rear axle and capable of squeezing 170 horses). The increased architecture of the car is meant to be used in full, placing several battery packs in the bottom of the car. When fully charged, such a system will provide a power reserve of 500 kilometers, without additional recharging on the road.



According to information received from sources close to the company, the novelty is developed on the new advanced platform MEV ("folk-wagon" origin). It is possible that the Skoda Felicia E will also be developed on the same modular "trolley". But the price of two cars will be significantly different (Vision expect to sell at least 45 thousand euros).

The concept Skoda Vision E totaled 4688 mm, about the same number will be and the serial version of the model. It is also reported on the availability of advanced technologies: a full-fledged interface of the 3rd class, a function of remote parking, a system of active interaction with the driver while driving.

Available hatchback Skoda Felicia E and electrified crossover Skoda Vision E are not the only models of the Czech company that will receive a full electrical modification. Until 2025, the company plans to provide 6 electric models to the West European market. The electric variation of the Citigo compact model, the hybrid version of the premium sedan Skoda Superb, the electrified versions of the best-selling models of the company of crossovers Karoq and Kodiaq, as well as the unique sports car made in the style and design of the retro car Skoda 110 R. should be added to the two above mentioned models.
