With Skoda revealing its latest all-electric concept, the Vision iV, at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show next month, the Czech brand has unveiled a sketch of the vehicle’s cabin.
The Vision iV is the first Skoda model to be based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric drive platform and this project is set to be an inspiration for future battery-powered vehicles from the manufacturer.
Czech out this beauty.

First sketches of the VISION iV concept study we’ll be revealing at the #GenevaMotorShow2019.
It provides an outlook on our electric car future, which is closer than you think.
By the end of 2022 we’ll introduce more than 10 electric models. #SKODA pic.twitter.com/aqxMJgRnaQ
As the concept doesn’t need a transmission tunnel to accommodate powertrain components, Skoda says the interior of the car is very spacious and has given it more freedom with the design of the layout. There is now a central console storage bin between the front seats that features a wireless charging pad that can charge two smartphones at the same time.
Both phones can also connect to the infotainment system at the same time, which is displayed on a large ‘floating’ touchscreen mounted on the multi-layered dashboard.
The display sits next to the instrument panel, while a ledge has also been placed so the driver can rest their hand while operating the touch-sensitive screen.
Skoda has also been redesigned the steering wheel into a two-spoke unit, which also has ‘Skoda’ written across it instead of the logo normally used on current models.
The Czech brand is planning on introducing 10 electrified models into its line-up by the end of 2022.
The Skoda Vision iV will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show from March 5 to 17.
