The VW Atlas Tanoak isn’t the only crossover-based pickup concept in the VW Group lineup. And this latest one from Skoda seems a whole lot cooler. It’s the Skoda Mountiaq. Yes, that name’s a bit of a mouthful, but don’t worry about the rest. That’s because this is one cool truck. And it’s...

Skoda is looking for more emotional styling to help showcase the brand's values. And they want to do it before they make the transition to electrification. Skoda's new design head, Oliver Stefani, spoke with Autocar about the desire for a less utilitarian and bolder look. "Skoda values have...

I mean… it’s impressive. I’m not really sure why anyone would do this or what it proves about the Octavia Combi RS 245, but it certainly did earn Markus Haas a world record. So there’s that. And I bet there’s a lot that could go wrong (semi-stigmata being the highest on that list), so I don’t...

The Skoda Kodiaq vRS has just set a record around the ring, with everyone's favorite high-speed taxi driver behind the wheel. When it comes to setting fast times around the 12.9-mile long Nürburgring toll-road turned race track, the seven-seat Kodiaq doesn't exactly seem like the best choice...

A team of high school students from the Czech Republic have made a one-off convertible concept based on the Karoq crossover. The project was a year-long effort for the students of the Skoda vocational school. The secondary school teaches technical skills like mechanical and electrical...

Skoda is bringing a hotter Octavia to the Geneva Motor Show. The Octavia RS is getting a Challenge Plus package to make a sportier version of the RS 245. The Octavia is Skoda's compact sedan and wagon, sharing the VW MQB platform with the Mk 7 Golf and third-generation Audi A3. The Octavia RS...

Everyone concedes that a man looks about 22.5% more handsome when he’s wearing a uniform and the same basic tenet holds for cars, though experts still disagree on the figures. So we should count ourselves lucky that Skoda has graced us with these uniformed vehicles. Part of its range of...

Volkswagen Group budget brand Skoda isn't exactly well known here in North America, but the automaker is actually one of the oldest around. Skoda started building cars in 1895. For 116 of those 122 years, they have been involved in racing. A big part of that history is this car, the tiny 1100...

Volkswagen is planning to make its three mainstream brands more different, with a view to making the company more efficient. CEO Matthias Mueller told Reuters that the automaker's board was planning a new focus for Volkswagen, Skoda, and Seat based on 14 segments in the brands' core European...

The Volkswagen Group’s “simply clever” brand Skoda is working hard to bring electricity to its lineup, and it’s showing off its first fully electric Vision E concept again in Frankfurt this week. The Vision E was first unveiled in Shanghai back in April, but Skoda has brought an updated version...

For a certain kind of car enthusiast who fetishizes the Czech Republic like others fetishize Italy, any news about Skoda is far too late and far too infrequent, but for the rest of Americans—the vast, vast, vast, vast majority—it can be hard to care about a (re)badge that we never see, no matter...

VW wants to sell millions of electric cars by 2025 and to do that it will need the willing (or whatever) participation of its underbrands. Skoda’s version of the I.D. hatch, according to a report, has found a name. Skoda might bring back the Felicia badge, according to a report from the UK’s...

When car journalists test a VW Group product, they will often compare it to its platform "brothers". If a magazine test-drives a SEAT Ibiza, they will refer to the Volkswagen Polo at one point or another, and when they review a Lamborghini Huracan, they would probably comment on whether it's...

Logos are hieroglyphs that contain a surprising amount information. Skoda's logo, for instance, tells the story of one of the oldest brands in the automotive world. You may never have asked yourself about the story behind Skoda’s logo, for instance, because of it’s low relevance to our...

Last month was a positive one for the Volkswagen Group, with sales increasing in all major markets, for a 3.1% increase overall. That only translated sales 0.1% higher for the year-to-date, than they were last year, but increases in key markets are an encouraging sign. “The Volkswagen Group...

The Volkswagen Group is full of performance, and Skoda's Octavia is the latest to get a bump in power. The Octavia RS 245 is the group's "simply clever" addition to the fun-to-drive ranks. As the name suggests, this smoking sedan (or warm wagon) pumps out 245 hp (15 more than the equally aptly...

Although the GTI-Treffen started as a show for GTIs, the scope quickly widened and now all manner of VW Group fans show up to the annual show. Today we're focusing on them. The fans who brought their Audis, their Skodas, their SEATs, and even their totally non-VW stuff, because the Treffen is...
