Geneva Motorshow Preview: Skoda to showcase the Vision C Concept

We saw the sketch of the Vision C concept a while back and now we are look at the rendering of the concept which will make its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motorshow. The C, from what we can guess, stands for Coupe but you'll soon understand that it's a redundant statement since it's a four-door ( five counting the tailgate)

The Vision C Concept looks sharp and hints at the future of Skoda cars. The interplay of soft, slightly contoured, concave and convex surfaces, as well as sharp, precise lines creates an immediate impact. The triangular headlamps and taillamps remind you of the VW concepts but at heart it will be essentially a Skoda.

Even Prof. Dr. h.c. Windried Vahland, CEO, Skoda says, "We are signalling the next stage in the evolution of Skoda's design language with 'Skoda VisionC', and thus highlighting the dawn of the brand. The vehicle demonstrates the company's outstanding design and engineering expertise, and underpins the dynamism and value of one of the world's longest-established automotive companies."

The Vision C concept car is powered by a 1.4-litre TSI four-cylinder engine that can run on either petrol or compressed natural gas (CNG). Skoda claims the sleek Vision C consumes 3.4kg of CNG per kilometre, and emits 91g/km of CO2: equivalent to one of Skoda's 'Greenline' diesel engines. There is a possibility that the Vision C will be made on VW's MQB platform but Skoda has not yet said anything to that effect.
