Skoda Vision IN Compact SUV Patent Images Leaked

The production version of the Skoda Vision IN concept, which was showcased at the Auto Expo 2020 earlier this year, is all set to be launched in India sometime in 2021. Now, patent images of the upcoming SUV have surfaced online, giving us a closer look at what Skoda's all-new compact SUV will look like. The production version of the Vision IN will get a new name, and it is Skoda's answer to the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Hector, Tata Harrier and even the upcoming car from Volkswagen - the Taigun. The SUV will be one of the first products to be based on the MQB A0-IN platform from Skoda in India

The patent images do not show us the cabin of the Skoda Vision IN SUV, however, based on the concept car's cabin, we know that the SUV will get a minimalistic cockpit. While it won't be as dramatically futuristic as the concept car's cabin, we will see a large floating display, digital instrument cluster, flat-bottom steering wheel, a sloping centre console, and a clean dashboard. The car will come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with automatic climate control, and a host of safety features.
