Skoda shows how a modern Favorit hatchback could look

The designers of Skoda Auto were once again inspired by the rich history of the brand and created a modern image of legendary cars. An impeccably designed reincarnation of the Skoda Favorit model appeared in the style of the Modern Solid design language.

Skoda shows how a modern Favorit hatchback could look

The Skoda designers — Ljudmil Slavov and David Stingl — created a new hypothetical version of the legendary Favorit hatchback. Ljudmil spent approximately 120 hours developing sketches, while David translated these ideas into computer renders.

Skoda has not officially announced plans to revive the Favorit. The presented renders are more of a creative imagination of the designers, but it is difficult to rule out that such ideas could become a reality in the future. This would help to make the brand's model range even more diverse while maintaining a connection with its history and roots.

Ljudmil Slavov presented the new Favorit as a subcompact electric crossover. A slightly raised position compared to the classic hatchback allows for a large capacity battery to be placed in the floor.

The new design is particularly notable for its original features — the front part with recognizable slanted wings and trapezoidal headlights, in which thin LED strips frame the matrix sections.

The renders show various options for headlights, bumpers, wheels, and door handles. The version with vertical door handles suggests that the rear doors open towards the front ones. In addition, there is a rally version of the car — with extended arches, a powerful spoiler over the trunk, and a diffuser in the rear bumper.

The old Favorit was a great success in rallies, which is why Czech specialists have prepared a sporty image for the new design that could very well hit the road.

A bit of history: Skoda Favorit was produced from 1987 to 1994, with 783,167 cars manufactured. If you take into account the Forman (wagon) and Pick-up versions, the total reached over a million — 1,077,126 vehicles.

The original front-wheel-drive Favorit design was created by the Italian design studio Bertone. In 1991, Skoda became part of Volkswagen Group and began actively implementing advanced German technologies, but company employees still fondly remember the last truly Czech models.
