Skoda Auto first revealed its Modern Solid design in 2022 with the Vision 7S concept. This new style swaps Skoda’s traditional butterfly grille for a sleek black panel across the front, accented by segmented four-piece LED daytime running lights. The main headlights are now placed on the bumper, which also features vertical air vents, a silver skid plate, tough plastic cladding, and automatic cooling vents to improve aerodynamics.
