Škoda brings a taste of history with the Favorit EV -- it is an electronic concept that is based on the iconic Favorit hatchback. The car highlights a timeless design that boosts daily environmental standards. The model made its debut in 1987.
The Favorit EV concept is more than a copy, it is run on an electric battery pack which takes the classic chunky headlights and replaces it with slim LED stripes hidden behind slightly clear covers. The brand's 'Tech-Deck Face' design is retained as well. Other details include its asymmetrical badge and a minimal silhouette that blends elements of the past and the present. The design team integrates brown leather at the interiors and open-centric headrests as a nod to the 80s.
