Skoda has pulled back the curtain on the Vision 7S, which will join the Czech brand’s huge EV line up.
First conceptualised in 2022, the new motor has an ergonomic design and will be one of the pricier vehicles produced by the manufacturer.
It will rival the Volvo EX90 and will be the most bespoke option out of Skoda’s electric vehicles.
Martin Jahn, the Skoda sales boss, told Autocar: “There are not too many seven-seaters in the in the BEV arena, so we believe it will be a really important car: beautiful from the outside, very practical from the inside.
“It’s also an extension of the brand.
“We put a lot of effort into strengthening the brand, and this car will also help us to do that.”
The cost of the new motor is unknown, but Martin acknowledged that the cost will be greater than the price of the Enyaq.
The Enyaq is priced from £39,010.
Martin added: “Skoda is always based on value for money.
“We are not the cheapest car in the segment, but when you buy our cars, you get better value for money than when you buy a car for the same money from another brand.
“Value for money is important for us, but [with this car it will be on] a different level than before.”
The news comes after a major UK city announced a brand new congestion charge.
From November 10, drivers in Oxford will need to pay £5 as part of the new scheme.
Oxfordshire County Council revealed that the new plan will raise an estimated £3.2 million, which will be reinvested into transport improvements.
The charge will need to be paid when motorists pass through one of six locations which include: Hythe Bridge Street, St Cross Road, St Clement’s Street, Thames Street, Marston Ferry Road and Hollow Way.
However, traders, carers, blue badge holders and people living or commuting in central Oxford will be eligible for permits to bypass the charge.
Councillor Andrew Gant, cabinet member for transport, said: “This policy doesn’t cure everything but it does deliver very significant benefits.”
The council also hopes that the new system will alleviate some of the city’s traffic congestion and will make it easier for workmen to improve Oxford’s roads.
