Skoda Scala production should reach 70,000 a year
- Skoda is replacing its Rapid model (C segment sedan) with the Scala hatchback. The Rapid has not met the expected success in the European market (40,000 sales in the first nine months of 2018), but it will continue to be sold on the Russian market (25,000 sales in the first nine months of 2018) and on the Chinese market (55,000 sales in the first 9 months of 2018) where it is produced.
- The Scala, which takes on the appearance of the former Rapid Spaceback (5-door sedan), is now similar to a Volkswagen Golf or even an Audi A3, especially because of its size, but it is based on the MQB-A0 platform (the one VW Polo, VW T-Cross, Seat Ibiza, Seat Arona,and Skoda Fabia are built on ) and not on the MQB-B platform (that of the VW Golf).
- The Scala is 436m long, 10cm longer than the VW Golf, but 30cm shorter than a Skoda Octavia. It is 13cm shorter than the Rapid sedan but 5cm longer than the Rapid Spaceback.
- Its engines are as follows: a 95hp / 115hp 1.0 TSI 3-cylinder petrol engine, a 150hp 1.5 TSI 4-cylinder petrol engine and a 115hp 4-cylinder 1.6 diesel engine.
- Made in Mlada Boleslav (Czech Republic), the Scala, which fits into the Skoda range between Fabia and Octavia, is expected to be produced at 70,000 units a year.
