US EditionSkoda Favorit: Communist-Era Hatch Reimagined as an Affordable EV
- Designers Ljudmil Slavov and David Stingl unveiled a modern electric crossover concept based on the 1987 Skoda Favorit hatchback in 2023.
- They reimagined the Favorit, originally developed under communist control with limited resources, to blend its Bertone-inspired lines and minimalism with Skoda's current Modern Solid design language.
- The concept features LED lights with semi-translucent covers, split-opening doors, a taller body for battery placement, and a racing variant inspired by Favorit's rally heritage and original unpainted plastic details.
- Slavov invested about 120 hours creating the design, describing it as a "pseudo crossover" that updates the original Favorit for today's SUV trend while avoiding overtly retro cues.
- While the project honors Skoda's history and design evolution, it holds no confirmed production plans and likely serves as a design exploration reflecting renewed interest in classic-inspired EVs.
